Weekly Character Spotlight #4: Godzilla 1962

I think 64 is my favorite Showa suit as well.

Tiny King-Goji!

Mr. KaijuZoo...you surely must run a zoo. You have a lot of outstanding figures and you make me zealous!

Though this is not one of my favorite Goji designs, I must say seeing the vinyls made me reconsider it some. I suppose threads like this help to promote various characters you may just overlook.

This is one of my very favorite suits! Unfortunately, I'm on vacation in Portland for a week, so I can't take pictures of any of the figures I have at home, and it'll be another week beyond that before I can get pics of the KingGojis I have at work.

However, on the ridiculous coincidence side of the fence, this morning I opened this Christmas gift from my parents (I know Legion already posted this figure, but I just got it, gosh darn it!):

Oh, although it'll still be the better part of a week before I'm home to take pictures of more KingGojis, I remembered I already have a few uploaded of this lovely bootleg version:

Wait, who made that bootleg? I quite like it, especially with that Kong there.

Ok, so here's some pics of the only 62 Goji I own right now. I plan on buying the Memorial Box figure soon though..

Here you go. The best 62 Godzilla to date (at least in "realistic" style)...the 30cm X Plus figure.







And just for fun...

I never realized it but yeah, the Hesei Gameras hunch quiet a bit, in the 96 and 99 in particular. Looking at the designs though, it's only makes sense considering how big their shells are and the size/position of their legs.

My favorite Godzilla suit of all time. The original '62 Bandai Godzilla was my first Bandai G as a kid, and remains one of my all-time favorite toys (just after G1 Grimlock).

BTW, I was watching Godzilla vs. Biollante yesterday and noticed the giant '62 Godzilla statue in the office of one of the characters...was that an actual licensed item, or a prop for the movie? I was assuming the former since it was obviously a very inaccurate Godzilla design for the monster of that film (and the previous one).

Since this thread has just about petered out, here's a photo of my '62 collection...



This is an older photo though, I sold the brown Monster Heaven figure a while back.
