Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
First definitely goes to Godzilla 1954. I swear by the classics.
I also love 1955, but I didn't grow up with him so he's not as memorable for me. For the second choice, it's going to have to be 1962.
I love the other Showa suits fine, but Godzilla 54 and 62 were the two that I fondly remember and grew up watching.

Aside from the original I really love both 64 designs. I also feel the 65 suit is rather underappreciated.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
My favorite showa suit has to be the 1965 daisensogoji suit. (not the derp cookie monster version from Ebirah)
I think it is a neutral design, meaning it would work as a dark, menacing Godzilla, like in 1954, and as the heroic savior of the earth Godzilla, like in Megalon.

Easily the 64 suit. It looks terrifying and evil.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
#1: MosuGoji, specifically with the Mothra vs Godzilla head. Probably the most evil look for Godzilla in the Showa era, and by far my favorite.
#2: ShodaiGoji. Can't go wrong with the creepy, crazy look of the original.
#3: MegaroGoji. Probably an unpopular pick, but what can you expect when the two original MechaGodzilla films are a couple of my absolute favorites? Great look for a heroic Goji, though the marshmallow plates hold it back from being truly great (I actually kinda like the puppy dog eyes).
For anyone wondering why the 62 suit isn't in my top three, I've never liked it. I've always thought that the head was too small, goofy-looking, and I think the squished appearance of the top of the head really hurts it. As a kid, Vs King Kong was one of my least favorites to watch because I found both suits to be pretty bad-looking. I like the film more now, but my opinion on the suits hasn't changed much. But, more power to those who like the 62 suit, even if I'll never quite understand its popularity.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
The 64 suit from Mothra vs Godzilla is easily the best of the Showa series. Everything after just got worse as it went along.

Mosugoji, as evidenced by my avatar and signature. I'd even say it's my favorite Godzilla suit in general.

It's interesting how people don't seem to understand the difference between "the best" and "their favorite". Their IS NO best.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
Mosu-Goji is still far & away my favorite suit - Showa or otherwise - but I've recently come to appreciate Daisenso-Goji. Actually, Daisenso-Goji's portrayal is my favorite in the franchise.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
My four favorites are:
Terror of MechaGodzilla (1975)
Godzilla (1954)
Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)
Godzilla vs Hedorah (1971)
LSD Jellyfish, reminded me of Godzilla vs Hedorah - as one of the better suits of the Showa series. I totally forgot that. Edited on June 5th, 2015.

These covers aren't really the most flattering things but it gets the point across.
Anyway, the MosuGoji suit is my favorite, with the '54 suit a close second.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
For an "evil" Godzilla I go with either the original 1954 suit or the 1962 suit.
For the later superhero Godzilla I think the one from Godzilla vs Hedorah honestly looks the best.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
The 1954 suit is my favorite of all the Godzilla suits. 1964 is a close second as far as the Showa era is concerned.

The 1973 suit, probably because I'm bias as it was in my favorite Godzilla film.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Suit of the Showa Series
Megarogoji ('73-'74 more than '75) and DaisensoGoji. GTTHM's version of MosuGoji is nice, too.
