Any surviving showa suits?

[Arbok]

There are of course many other great things you can find as well if you scour online. I've seen images of the remains of the '67 King Kong suit before that looked like they could've been taken anywhere from around the 1980s - pre2010s.

I assume this from the Godzilla Chronicles, which were published in the 1990's (1993, 1998 and 1999 to be exact). It also shows off the heads of various Godzilla suits, like '68, '64, etc but they are much more damaged than the King Kong one even by that point.

Do you have pics of the heads? I don't think they've been posted in here. The 66 Godzilla and 67 Kong heads have been posted in here along with a couple others like Titanosaurus but not 68 and 64.

Gigan and Anguirus look fine in those pictures

The photos of anguirus were taken before the filming of godzilla vs mechagodzilla, you can tell because he still has his fangs

Also does anyone have info about the king caesar suit?

[Ceratto168]

What about the Giant Condor Prop? I doubt it considering it was burned and had water damage as well. Plus it seemed to be falling apart back in '66, doubt anyone knows/ cares.

I talked to someone who went to the godzilla museum in texas and he said it was there, but it was missing a wing, had no legs, a destroyed jaw and barely any feathers
Showa mogueras nose was also there

Since when is there a “Godzilla Museum” in Texas, and why would they have props from actual Godzilla movies?

I think there might be a bit of confusion here and that this is referring to the temporary Anime Matsuri shop?

[Ceratto168]

Absolutety no idea, it probably was but the person who told me gave me no information on what the building was called

My first comment here. Personally, I believe all of the Showa Kaiju suits/props/puppets are still around, but in terrible shape. I read that the Showa suits had a relatively strong inner frame made of wire. Another website had a video on the 1965 Godzilla suit head they found. From those two sources I believe the following: The wire frames are rusting, much of the skin has rotted away, any skin left clinging to the frame has hardened due to oxidisation.

I can assure you that, aside from a few pieces (some heads, Gigan's buzzsaw, Hedorah's eyes), most of the Showa suits and props are long gone.

‘Cept for MG of course, even though they did Frankenstein it. Also one of the Tsuburaya Ghidorah’s heads still exists.

Spoiler:

'66 Godzilla head!

A little prop from Gorath!

Not Showa, but the 1954 half-suit from GxMG!

Destroyah's hands!

What looks like to be pieces of a tank prop from Gojira!

Spoilered for the size of the images!

The links are all dead.

Yeah, no shit. It's a five year old post.

Do you have a link to the website by any chance
Also legion1979 do you still have the book that you said about a while ago, i know i already asked but i am desperate

[Legion1979]

I still have the book but i don't use photo sharing sites anymore so I have no way of sharing.

[Ceratto168]

Understandable, thank you

Pls link the video or website if you still have it

Someone should do 3D scans of surviving suits and props from days past. That way, they can use CG models of them in future films.
