Re: Best and Worse Kaiju Redesigns
I like most of Matt's redesigns, but the super spikey shell meshed with the sharp beak, split jaw and large claws is just too much of a turn off for me.

Re: Best and Worse Kaiju Redesigns
Some new sketches of mine. Additional info through the links.
Gabera w/ a stronger resemblance to toads, specifically w/ beelzebufo ampinga in mind as his ancestry (in accordance w/ my take of the Godzilla series being more speculative evolution based w/ certain animals picked as an ancestor/relative other than the usual norm).
https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerprod ... -885030655
Megalon, w/ a stronger resemblance to the mole cricket.
https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerprod ... -885030649
Gigan, a cyborg monstrosity from outer space. Origins unknown.
https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerprod ... -885030646
Whatcha think?

Re: Best and Worse Kaiju Redesigns
I like the Gabara design, kinda goofy but in a good way.
I'm definitely open to more insectoid Megalon instead of humanoid Megalon after
Spoiler:
Gigan looks pretty awesome!

Re: Best and Worse Kaiju Redesigns
That would be Nise Ultraman, the evil variation. Still, it’s a pretty great redesign of Nise and a good template for a normal Ultraman redesign.Tyrant_Lizard_King wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 8:36 am Ultraman from the Kaiju Remix figure line by Yasushi Nirasawa and Shin Godzilla's Takayuki Takeya.

Re: Best and Worse Kaiju Redesigns
Yeah, thats a great Fake Ultraman redesign. However, Kaiju Remix is (from what I can tell) a licensed Ultraman statue line and there’s a thread in General Toho Films for that purpose.

Re: Best and Worse Kaiju Redesigns
I can’t post images for some reason, but Matt Frank’s Godzilla Neo always rubbed me wrong. It just doesn’t feel right, and the spines are awkward. Not to mention the overly skinny tail.

Agreed.

Re: Best and Worse Kaiju Redesigns
I love the Godzilla Neo designs not because I actually like them, but because they’re good time capsules of how Godzilla and his kaiju compadres were redesigned before Legendary shook up the entire game. They’re also pretty nostalgic.

Dinomaster’s Godzilla and Varan are actually pretty good redesigns, even if not all of his work is great.

Re: Best and Worse Kaiju Redesigns
That doesn't even look like Gigan, just a more generic robo-dinosaur with chainsaws.

I actually quite like the kaiju mode too. Looks like something that would be in the Godzilla anime trilogy.Thatguy4683 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 1:42 pm by Theamazingspino

I don't think it's a coincidence at all every new Godzilla in the Neoverse was a subtle redesign of that first one.Cryptid_Liker wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 12:43 pmAgreed.
