Would you have liked the early concept desgin to be used instead?

Yes. It looks way better then Ratzilla.

No, they both look bad but Ratzilla less so.

I guess they just turned this design into Angy for FW there are a lot of very prominent similarities. The yellowish spikes, the skin is close... But what is with the red chest? It's like he spilled his lunch all over himself.

That would make for an almost comically bad looking "Godzilla". However, if it was a Godzilla-*something* hybrid developed by the DNA testing (say, continuing the plot from the bit after Tokyo SOS) most of that concept would transition to an interesting looking monster. The chest is too weird though.

Not Godzilla. Might be a good add in monster if they ever make a second movie with Biollante in it though. I can definitely see the similarities. As for "Ratzilla", if you must call him that, I liked his design and i thought it worked well in the movie. r

Finaro-Goji looked awesome. He could've used a little bit more work in the face, but aside from that, he looked great.

This thing is atrocious. As much as I dislike the FW Godzilla, at least it actually LOOKS like a Godzilla. This thing is just...I don't know. Looks like it should be some kind of crucial Ultraman villain instead.

Uhm, not that I did it or anything, but why?

Is there something wrong with bringing up old topics? What if a new member has something they want to say on a topic; they'd get dogged on for starting a new thread AND they get dogged on for talking about something that I guess the rest of the world has moved past?

Not fair.

Way OT...

It barely looks like Godzilla in the kit... I'm perfectly fine with FW Goji.
Also, where's the choice in the poll for "no, the final design in Final Wars was fine."?
I'm back? I guess. Haven't posted here in a loooooong time.

I would say no to this orginal design as Godzilla, it just too spikey like some of said. Now as a seperate, new Kaiju all together it would be cool

The final wars design wasn't bulky and didnt look powerful enough to me,but at least it looked like godzilla.Late 90's Godzilla is the most iconic design and I hope the 2012 version incorporates his design features.

My question is would you have rather seen the design used in early concept are or do you think the design we got was good enough?

For any one who hasn't seen the early GFW Godzilla concept art below is a link to it and a couple pictures of a model kit made for him.

I gotta say I while it might be hard to do right, if they had used this design instead and managed to make the suit look good it would have been epic. Remember how seeing Burning Godzilla for the first time was an eye popper? Seeing this suit done right would be like seeing Burning Godzilla for the first time again.
Good lord. That's one ugly Godzilla design. Thank god they didn't use it.

I think that this might have been a good design for Space Godzilla.

I'm sure I'll catch Hell from somebody for this, but (aside from Little Godzilla), Space Godzilla is easily my least favorite design from the Heisei films. Those awkward crystals on his shoulders are over the top... they make him look like an Ultra Monster. The small touches of Biollante on his face and gut make it fairly obvious where the G-cells came from (never mind that nonsense about Mothra possibly carrying G-cells into orbit), but aside from that and the gonzo crystal look, Space Godzilla was too much like just a slightly larger Godzilla.

The FW concept art for Godzilla shown in this thread has a freaky, edgy look that might have made him a good enemy... including, a good Space Godzilla.

But as Godzilla himself? Not a chance.

I'll back you on that. some Godzilla hybrid thing is a good idea that I'm still thinking of for this design. I was thinking of a post-Kiryu Godzilla-X hybrid that is created on accident or whatever. A Spacegodzilla look isn't bad either.
