I agree that the GMK suit's body is badly proportioned. The head looks pretty good, with the fangs and dead, white eyes, but everything else is just odd-looking.

I'm convinced that if people didn't know about the history of GMK Godzilla (being supposed to stand like a dinosaur, not fitting the suit actor, etc) they wouldn't bring such criticisms on the design/execution. This not unlike people saying the 1984 suit barely moved, when they learned about Kenpachiro Satsuma having much trouble with the size of the suit. It's practically a psychological thing.

Well he never said anything about that. He just thought it was oddly proportioned.

^ That I did. And having re-watched the movie the other day, I stand by that opinion. Again, the head looked great. I also liked the large, bone-white claws. The body itself, though, needed work. The pot-belly should've been slimmer, the shoulders needed more bulk, the over-sized spines gave him a weird 'hunchback' sort of look from the side, and the neck was slightly too long and thin.

It wasn't terrible, though. There are certainly a few worse suits out there.

What exactly is "thin" about the neck? That particular complaint doesn't make any sense to me.

Well, to me, the neck isn't at all bad. What does look disproportionate is the pot-belly and the shoulders. Everything else can stay on the SokogekiGoji, they just needed to lessen the belly and add more bulk to the shoulders; that's all.

I don't think the kid was ready for it. I think it's a case of sensory overload. To him, the suit looked frightening; to be that close to such a frightening thing, one can already imagine what happens to a child should the panic button be pressed...

Okay, the neck looks fine from most angles. There were a few shots from the side where it looked weird, though. Really, the whole suit is like that. Looks okay from every angle but the side.

Sokogecki-Goji's neck slants forward awkwardly, and it's made even more noticeable by the broomstick-straightness of the back. This, along with the over-sized lower body, are the only real issues with the suit in my opinion.

^That picture reminds me how BIG that suit was. :g2k:

Still not as scary as Santa or the Easter Bunny in the mall.

I wouldn't know; never heard of that.

Actually, I don't think I've actually seen a Santa or Easter bunny at the mall before; not that I recall, at least.

...But we're getting off topic. Sokogecki-Goji is, if nothing else, a very IMPOSING suit.
