Weekly Character Spotlight #2: Mechagodzilla 1974

[Legion]

Maybe I have to see it in person, but I can't get over how gnarled and twisted the legs on that X-Plus MG. So strange.

Anyway, here's the first vinyl Mechagodzilla ever made and one of the rarest Godzilla-related vinyls out there. The original 8" Bullmark...

Just a couple more to throw out there.

The Marmit Monster Heaven original MG on the left, the MH MGII on the right and the giant original MG in the middle.

Lol. The Showa Mecha Godzilla Belly Button Rule. I love it

[KaijuZoo]

Hey Mike,
As we both posted MG'75's above, what do you think about just calling this the Showa MechaGodzilla thread? That would make it easier to compare and contrast examples of both suit sculpts at the same time and also observe the "belly button rule"?

If it is MechaGodzilla, then some of the figures should really be mechanical. Here is the Bandai remote control Characon version from 1983,
still has the original batteries.



And again along side the Banpresto battery operated MG'74.



And although they are bootlegs, these two figures qualify since they
fit in with the MG'74 "belly button" rule!
