What color is Godzilla?

Postby pocketmego » Mon Apr 02, 2007 12:59 am

We as fans know that most of the time Godzilla is Charcoal Gray in color. It always surprised me that this was one of the ONLY things that the makers of GINO got more or less right. But, lot sof people seem to disagree with us over the years.

Aurora Models disagreed, but we had the power to fix that little problem.

Hanna Barbara and Marvel Comics both disagreed with us as well.

But, worst of all the average man or woman on the street will almost 100% of the time answer the question with Green.

Why do so many people see green when the movies so obviously show otherwise?

That's Okay.. I used to draw him looking like Cookie Monster. :lol:

I even drew him BLUE.

For what it's worth, I posted this on another topic, but it's relevant to this topic anyway . . .

Toho originally colored Godzilla charcoal-grey, but the colorist said that the printing technology could not print grey clearly or consistently, so Toho decided to make him green instead.

Oh, wait, that's someone else!
:P
