Many thanks to Club Tokyo and Wikizilla, who provided the information and images of which this is merely a convenient compilation.


For more on the production history of the Gojira suits, please see: The Evolution of Godzilla by Robert Biondi

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.

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!

Dug out the list that I'd made for myself this past summer:

• ShodaiGoji (初代ゴジ) is the Godzilla suit used in Gojira/Godzilla, King of the Monsters!. 1954
• GyakushuGoji (逆襲ゴジ) is the Godzilla suit used in Godzilla Raids Again. 1955

Can anyone give me info on this big fella?

Marmit. Dark green vinyl with glitter flakes

^^^^

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's a beauty there 666doll!

Thanks. It really is. One of my faves to be honest.

That's a *fantastic* Godzilla figure!

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
