Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only

And now, for a round of "Aww man, that poor suit."

The '66 Sea Monster suit close the end of filming after being used extensively in the water:


The '68 suit as seen in Godzilla vs Hedora. Can you believe they used this thing in another film?


And here's how it looked in Godzilla vs Gigan. Yuck, look at those legs and feet.

Yeah, the "Monster Zero" suit was one of my favorites in its debut picture, but seeing it after being cannibalized and then reconstructed to undergo another full movie shoot, it just makes me feel sorry for it. Didn't look too great in the three remaining movies where they used it as a "water suit" either.

But this is certainly a terrific thread. Thanks for sharing these!

These aren't my scans (I believe Baradagi gets that credit) and they were posted elsewhere on this site several years ago, but it seems a good a time as any to post them again...

Decaying monster suits and props, from photos taken at various points in the 1970s:

Funny how the longer the suits sit around and decay, the more the look like the DIY jobs for the G Fest costume contests
