Jesus Christ, I clicked the wrong tab and thought I was in the JewWario thread when I read this. D:soren7550 said:
OT: I read this thread's title and thought "Yep, it's Cojo again." And yep, it was Cojo again.
At least you've become more self aware about it.
Anyways, it looks like a creature I wouldn't want staring in my window. Good enough for me.
While the legs look fat but the feet doesn't look like it will support him and I think the spike spine thing look abit small. They could of reused the original Godzilla spine (it more three triangle fuse together).
It doesn't look anything like the Big Guy in the trailer. Spines are way too tiny and the snout is too small. I think someone found a prototype...
I'm guessing that was your first or one of your first Godzilla/Giant monster movies then? I'd been watching them on and off since I was like 3 years old (part of the reason I never got into the Power Rangers, I felt very much "Been there, done that better.") so I have a bias towards the older movies.hakkarin said:
Even if I didn't though the CGI in Godzilla 98 has aged pretty badly. So for the monsters it's really a matter of whether you prefer obvious monster suites or bad CGI. I will admit the 98 film was better paced than many of the older original movies though. Which tried to have 10 minutes of monster footage padded out with an hour and a half of a half-baked espionage plot or whatever. For my money there's no contest though, the best 90s Godzilla movie was Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991). Even if seeing Godzilla kill American troops in WW2 as a "heroic" act makes me a bit uncomfortable, you just can't beat Mecha King Ghidorah.
Haha yeah they must have designed that thing with like, one car model in mind. Even then it probably never worked.amaranth_dru said:
Hmm. You know, I actually like it.
It's clearly not going to win over the Original Godzilla and Zilla from American movie, but it's got a distinctive look to it while still displaying similar characteristics to the Godzilla franchise.
Not crazy about the tail though and I hope it's just a gross misrepresentation.

Looks to me like they've simply played it safe. I don't know a lot about Godzilla but to me hes allways just looked like..well, a dinosaur.
It looks better from the 3/4 view than it does from the side view. The head is nicely shaped (although to small compared to the body), the big lower jaw, short snout and eyebrows give him kind of a "brutish" look. He's to beefy through the mid section and there's not enough muscle definition in the legs, they look like elephant legs. Bigger spines would have made him look a little more interesting.
Hopefully it's just a cheap or lazy toy and the film version looks better. I also hope he leans forward more when he walks, like a t-rex would.

To be honest, I don't think a lot about that creature would be intimidating, other than its size - the stumpy little feet look elephantine, not like something a terrifying destroyer of cities would be expected to have. The head appears a bit on the small side, while the tail appears slightly too thick and long. Leaning slightly further forward and having a generally more angular look would certainly make it seem more predatory.
Well, considering this is an organic being that stands as tall as a skyscraper, I have my doubts anything could really support the weight (square cube law and all that jazz), but the original Godzilla at least looks like it is distributing the weight as much as possible.soren7550 said:
Uh it looks kinda boring, too much like the original Godzilla. I liked the 1998 one, could they come up with a more original design like that? The mosters in Pacific Rim were great, can't they Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V those?
This looks dumb, can we have the '98 godzilla back? You know, the one that looked cool and original and wasn't just playing it safe by pandering to fans of the crappy old Japanese version.
Ya, that's right, I liked that movie, and I'm tired of seeing it get shit on while we praise this piece of crap.

The original Godzilla could also shoot a giant beam of atomic energy out of his mouth. Perhaps we're taking this all a bit too seriously.Not G. Ivingname said:
Yep. Mystery Science Theater 3000, greatest show ever to grace the airwaves. I recommend trying "Werewolf" or "Space Mutiny" as your first episode, they're two of the best.MarsAtlas said:
The guys who originally made it also have Rifftrax http://www.rifftrax.com/ and Cinematic Titanic http://www.cinematictitanic.com/ which are very similar in concept. Which of those you'd like better largely comes down to which of the two MST3K hosts you preferred. Joel, the original host (who does Cinematic Titanic) or Mike who I think has better comedic delivery/timing. (Rifftrax)
PS- "The Horror of Party Beach" would be another great episode to try.
Welp, looks like it's time to get disappointed like it's 1998!
Seriously, what is Toho doing? This looks just awful, his head is flat and he's got dumb ass yellow lizard eyes. I really hope he looks better on screen then this toy does, the king of monsters deserves better then this.
