I make picto-lists like that for myself all the time, ha! Nice share, man.

Any pics of the maquette stages for Shodai-Goji of the lizards of the seventies to add?

I'm a fan of Godzilla, but not die-hard. So this is really cool to see each developed form over time. I can very much appreciate this visual knowledge!

Thanks guys!

Seeing as how it was recently Gojira's birthday and all, I wanted to finally research the progression of his design down the years, and figured that I would share my findings.

I know that this is common knowledge to some, but I didn't find a previous thread about it. :oops:

Much obliged for this list!

I might have picked other figures here and there to represent each suit, but it was definitely fun to think about!

^^^^

Thanks David. I had checked there, but always thought mine was a dark green with glitter and not the black glitter. In the light, the green pops and makes the black look green. Huh. Thanks again mister

That is a really nice one John, one of my favourite Goji sculpts. I have been trying to find the green (non-glitter) one for a few years now. Great character on him and excellent colours.

Thanks Guys and especially thanks to Dustin.

This Goji always made me think of a fighter stepping into the ring with serious business on his mind. A Goji or action, not talk :lol:
