Already signing up for this! Maybe this website will go big by revealing Godzilla's design. Either way, its it talking about Okumura from The Return Of Godzilla/Godzilla (1984) in the 2nd pic?
Yooo 8-)

I think those random red prints have some meaning behind it...

Well, so far we have a clear reference to Godzilla himself (the black iceberg) and another to some sort of burrowing monster...

Why couldn't they both be Godzilla?

I just signed up for this too. This is so exciting! I wonder if there's supposed to be a hidden message in the news articles?

One of the waves breaking in the first picture looks sort of like Godzilla's head IMO. Wonder if that's intentional.
In my opinion, of course.

:shock: :D

Chris...you and your reactions, I swear man lol

@hannibalbarca ill be damned I think your right! That does look a lot like Godzilla head...a lot like the Hesisi era one

Edit: on further inspection it's just a wave but its eerily shaped like Godzilla head though

I'm not saying that's for sure what he's gonna look like or anything, just that the wave looked...interesting. Not a huge fan of the series itself, but the Heisei design was probably my favorite after the original design so I'll be pretty stoked if Godzilla looks something like that.
In my opinion, of course.

I hope they show how they will do his roar. I was thinking a combination between the Millenium Roar and the Jurassic Park T-Rex roar. Think about how cool they would sound morphed together.

I don't want Godzilla to sound like the JP Rex, but on the subject of roars used in marketing I could easily some some kind of sound clip with a bunch of waves crashing and Godzilla's roar being heard. Maybe even some kind of shaky-cam viral vid similar to Pacific Rim's Breaking News: Kaiju Attack video.

Probably. That and Okumura are nice references to the old films. I like where this is all going :D

You know, throughout my time here, I came up with ideas on how the brand deals. You know, but now, I'm going to let you decide on what product you'd like to see tie-in with Godzilla. My time for that is up. Your turn.
