Guilala could potentially beat the 1954 Gojira in a fight.

Considering 1954 is basically just Shin with less firepower, I can see it.

Thunder of Gigantic Serpent, starring the monstrous Nozzler (think that was its name...).

KRONOS from... Kronos!

The Mighty Peking Man!

Still waiting on a DVD/BR release for the old 1998 cash-in, Gargantua.

I once saw a drawing that depicted Godzilla and Kronos facing one another. Kronos is an entertaining sci fi flick.

Another obscure one is Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds (1977).

well, Guilala could absorb power, so Gojira's atom breath would be useless, and Guilala can do that thing where he turns into a big ball of red. He was never killed, but he was reduced to a spore when his ability to absorb power was obstructed.

I don't know if this counts as obscure, but does anybody know what the D.R.A.G.M.A. are?

Would Gorgo/Ogra and The Giant Behemoth kinda count?

The former being Britain's answer to Godzilla.

I don't really think they're obscure. I've legit never heard of any self-respecting kaiju fan that's been in the genre for a lil while never hearing of them. Same goes for guys like Guilala, Gappa and Reptilicus.

Yes. We had an entire topic on the Heisei page to discuss them and their episode.

He's pretty much known as the most overrated kaiju in the franchise, actually. Not even just here, but everywhere.
I've seen this kind of comment before, but where are you seeing talk of him? I don't see it on Twitter or FB, and I run a video game-themed channel on YouTube and he's rarely mentioned there as well.

From the video game Gamera 2000. In fact there's several bizarre mutant Gyaos in that game.

Yeah you’re right, but I’m also surprised that there’s a small amount of Gamera video games that have been released even less that you get to play as him

The Space Gyaos are probably even more obscure. They appear in only one film and have a limited role to play.

I actually got the blu-ray and I really love that little short film. It's quite unique and very good.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Yeah. The idea of a blind kaiju who's friends with a blind girl is pretty cool.

It got some flack by some for the use of puppets, and the type of puppets, but I kind of liked that too. Gave it a strange, exotic, dream-like quality. Kind of curious if it was representative of some historical puppet technique from Japan or not. Sadly I'm not in a position to really know.
