Prove it. Spacegodzilla's feats are MILES above Spacegodzilla's, and don't even try the "outlier" route.

That would be great if Wolfman vs. Godzilla came out on DVD! I seriously hope that movie somehow comes out. I haven't had the opportunity to see ANY of it. Not even a clip.
HADE NI IKUZE!!

I've heard G vs Wolfman should come out in the next couple of years, according to a member on here who says he has insider info. We'll see if that ends up being the case.

As for the suits, it is very sad to see them rotting away, but I expected as much.

I said it *might* be, if Toho cooperates, and it's impossible to know if that'll happen. The post production process is definitely happening. Nobody knows it it'll actually be released though.

I'll gladly eat crow if it doesn't turn out that way....but at this point it feels painfully obvious, as it has for months.

Hey at least we got the G14 and Muto suits, right? Right?
JK I know they're CGI........
I have no clue why I decided to write that.......
Maybe to lighten the mood......
Well it's sad to think that even the original dinosaurs from "The Lost World" and "King Kong" are now just wire frames, some have just barely anything left dangling on them.
TK's resident Titanosaurus super-fan

Maybe Minilla was some mutation inside a Kamacarus' ootheca and that's why they attacked..... Maybe Minilla ISN'T the Son of Godzilla! He's some weird Kamacari that Godzilla felt bad for!

..... Nope, the other guys would never accept that..........



I don't know even know what a he-ba is......



HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GUY!!!!!!!!

On lighter news, I'm pretty sure Zilla (or GODZILLA, whatever) is just a rusty wire frame animatronic.

Is that first one the last piece of the 1968 Godzilla head?
Also, I think Bob Burns owns a head and tail from the original Ghidorah suit.

I think so; if it's not that one, it's definitely one of the 60's Godzillas.

Actually, the GMK pictures and a couple of others you posted are probably old ones Toho restored them for that Godzilla event in 2014.

Not the highest quality but I'll find more.

To me, it either that one or the DaisensoGoji head.
