Re: Any surviving showa suits?
Orga and Megaguirus seem to be strangely missing from that public event... does anyone know what happened to them? As for Showa suits is there anything about the 1956 Meganulan suit(s) and Titanosaurus?

....1956 Meganulon is dust. Titanosaurus is mush cause they exposed it to water. Water was a big threat to rubber suits.Apgigan wrote:Orga and Megaguirus seem to be strangely missing from that public event... does anyone know what happened to them?

Imagine getting angry your out of date and obsolete stats for rubber suit monsters were 'stolen'.

It's probably the '94, as they've had him on display lots lately - '95 enhancements removed, of course.MechaGoji Bro7503 wrote:Jeez godzilla looks depressed. Is that the 1993 suit?Mechagigan wrote:Some suits on display again...

Re: Any surviving showa suits?
I'd doubt it would be 93, seeing how that they pretty much destroyed that suit during the filming of the Super X III fight in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. The RadoGoji suit had the legs removed and was modded to match the MogeGoji suits transformation for the water sequences in 1995. When it came to the freezing effects during the end of the fight sequence with the Super X III they actually used liquid nitrogen to simulate the freezing effects on the suit, which ended up causing severe damage to it (you can actually see one of the arms fall off when the last of the squibs were used to simulate the final assault from SXIII right before Godzilla falls over back into the ocean).MechaGoji Bro7503 wrote:Jeez godzilla looks depressed. Is that the 1993 suit?Mechagigan wrote:Some suits on display again...
If I were to guess, the suit seen above is either the MogeGoji suit or a promotional suit from around that time, seeing how that Toho made quite a few of those and most likely still have same molds, or copies of the original molds that they used in 1992 for GvM.
Well, that's certainly a thing.

Re: Any surviving showa suits?
A BIG THREAD BUMP IS INCOMING!!! Okay. So, it's been a while since anyone posted in this thread and I have some cool images to share!
Not completely sure how recent this image is but it is indeed the stop motion prop from KKvG! I'm gonna guess this image was taken around 2014-2015.
This is from 2014! The flying Zone Fighter prop is still around too! Not surprising, since it's made out of wood(?) I believe. Also one of the helicopters from the Mt. Fuji scenes and a maser tank(?).

Re: Any surviving showa suits?
It surprised me too. I wonder where it has been all this time? Most likely it was in someone's storage somewhere. I'd say it's in great condition considering its age.Destorogoji wrote:Amazing discovery! That Godzilla prop really surprised me.Monster Zero wrote:A BIG THREAD BUMP IS INCOMING!!! Okay.

It's driving me crazy, I can't figure out where that truck comes from. Looks like a spotlight.

Re: Any surviving showa suits?
Could it have been from Gigan? When Anguirus enters Sagami Bay they turn spotlights on him. Also, I saw an image once of the Zone Fighter flying puppet with the Megalon one. I don't know where it was taken nor when, but it was really interesting. Most likely in a Toho warehouse, I suppose.Stevo_1985 wrote:It's driving me crazy, I can't figure out where that truck comes from. Looks like a spotlight.

I was thinking maybe War of the Gargantuas to ward Gaira away with the lights, or maybe even Hedorah when they were attracting him to the electrodes. I have no idea though I haven't seen them in a while.

Nah, when they were attacking Hedorah they were using the headlights on their vehicles. Yeah, I've seen that video you mentioned with the MechaG head. He also had an Xian gun and the flying Jet Jaguar prop.Stevo_1985 wrote:

Thanks to Jomei AKA Jimpluff for re-posting these images on Tumblr. Not sure how recent these are, but this looks like the MG brain and the Titanosaurus head which had the moving eyes. Can anyone confirm where these images were taken and what time these images were taken?
EDIT: MORE!!!

Wow. It's interesting seeing the MG brain up close. Never noticed the small bits in the film.

And these other picks Jimpluff posted are great, I wonder how old they are and if any of these are still around, sitting in storage somewhere?
