 Costumed Godzilla Figures I was once asked about a specific figure that someone had seen and was trying to track down (I won't go into the details). As it was remembered, this particular guy was a Godzilla but with a 'man' inside the costume. I wasn't really sure on the exact specifics, but I offered as much help as I could. None of my suggestions really seemed to fit though. He seemed to recall it being a more of a vintage-style vinyl figure. To my knowledge the following are some examples of costumed Gojis: 1. Haruo Nakijima in costume, vinyl  http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2000/haruo_nakajima_godzilla_irasawa_version2. as above, but in a resin to mimic a bronze statue 702rGnlBMksO)kHq!~~_12.JPG) 3. vintage Takara 'Combat Joe' in Godzilla suite, at least two variations (deluxe with multiple masks) from the 80s  4. A re-make of the above from Medicom's RAH line circa 2006  5. the more recent Microman line  Personally I love the idea of removable mask kaiju, but I know its not for everyone. Anyone have any to add to this list?

Re: Costumed Godzilla Figures Oh man, I wish I didn't know those Microman Godzillas existed. Are the suits pretty rubbery for easy posability?

Re: Costumed Godzilla Figures They are very rubbery and completely poseable.
There is a Megalon and Jet Jaguar with Micromen inside as well.

Re: Costumed Godzilla Figures There is also the vintage Takara Combat Joe that comes with the Goji costume, that thing rules if you are into 12" figures or a Joe collector.

I love the awesome Medicom Repro's - when I first discovered them around 98/99 they blew my mind - how cool is it having the monsster WITH the dude inside teh suit - when I displayed him it would always be with teh dude sticking out of teh suit, all casual.
