One of my top 5 Godzilla suits, and one of my favorite Bandai standard size figures:

It's funny, I really like the GMK suit and yet I have only one figure of it. The standard Bandai is just so well done that I've never felt the need for another version of this guy. Although the M1 has tempted me a few times.

[Godzilla 2000]

X-Plus USA 6'' Godzilla 2001.

[MekaGojira3k]

My favorite toy of this suit

[KaijuZoo]

The B/W monochrome West Kenji GMK vinyl kit commission I completed back in 2007.

The M1 is my favorite as well. Here's mine pictured with a couple other figures for comparison.



The standard Bandai is really excellent, too.

[MekaGojira3k]

Also a cool figure

Man, photographing these really makes me want to open them up.

Kaijuzoo's GMK Goji is amazing!!!!!

Alas, this is yet another week I cannot participate in

Not nearly as good as the last one I posted, here's the oddly proportioned Bandai Creation take on GMK Goji:



Our cat, Linus, is not impressed by the sculpt:

that B&W monochrome West Kenji is beautiful!


Here is a non glitter variant that is out of the bag

I definitely went through a GMK Godzilla phase, so i have more of that suit than any other, but hands down my absolute favorite is the 25cm X-Plus release... it isn't hunched over like the 30cm release, so it somehow highlights everything i like about the suit and brushes over the things i like less... anyway, to each their own

So this is Bandai Polystone Series M-1... i was looking forward to this series since it was from Yuji Sakai, but this figure (which i got MIB) has the worse slop of any figure i own... bad slop on the fins and bad slop on the face... i've seen others over the years that looked fine, so maybe i just got unlucky on this one... otherwise, its a nice dynamic figure, destruction and action all in one shot

[klen7]

This is the Bandai Polystone Series M-2... i got this at the same time as the M-1... another fun sculpt since you get a bit of action with poor Baragon getting stomped

[klen7]

Here's another from Yuji Sakai... Real Product Stage Godzilla Complete Works 1

The water in the base is translucent, which makes it look pretty slick under light.. Definitely my favorite of the smaller scale figures

[KaijuZoo]

[klen7]

It's a really slick figure... I think Yuji Sakai's "Godzilla Dream" picture book has some good pictures of the full size sculpt in it... maybe i'll link in an image to that later.

Here is another curiosity... it LOOKS like a Hyper Godzilla 2002... but upon closer inspection, it seems someone used that as a mold and made a rubber version which they then slapped a great paint job on and then added a nice base for it to stand on... it is a really striking figure, and as far as i can tell, its a one of a kind "knock off" that is way better than the original

Probably my favorite Carlton Godzilla ornament:

Seems GMK Godzilla has a lot of fans around these parts...
