Mean, Green, Stompin’ Machine!
Author: CreatureScape

Through most of Godzilla’s lengthy history, he was gray . . . not green . . . though few people (especially toy makers) realized that. However, in late 1999, Toho finally gave people a mean, green stompin’ machine in GODZILLA MILLENNIUM, a.k.a. GODZILLA 2000. They also amped up the costume in general, giving big G a more draconian face, larger more jagged fins, and some impressive red radiation breath. All in all, this is the most menacing G-suit ever and the kit we are about to build, the huge 1:144 scale G2000 vinyl kit from KOC (Kingdom of Curiosity) is the first model of that suit ever made.

Before we begin, there are a few things to note here. Because of the size of this kit and the large number of parts, it will take a couple days to build at least. And clear a little shelf space. This baby is about 2 feet long and 12 inches tall when completed (though KOC did make an 8 inch version as well). If you are ambitious, you might knock it out in a weekend, but I would tell you to expect a couple weeks of work . . . but it is worth it.

Also, the kit is vinyl, which means some special building techniques, and this article is very much about how to manage that process. It is not hard, but there are some things that are critical to do.

Goddoman & Guriinman), due for release on May 23rd in Japan, will compile a carefully selected choice of popular episodes from the Toho TV series GO! GODMAN (Ike! Goddoman, 1972) and GO! GREENMAN (Yuke! Guriinman, 1973).

But along with the set will come a special bonus disc featuring the tentatively-titled NEW GODMAN PRODUCTION (Shinsaku Goddoman).
