What about this early King Kong vs Godzilla concept image depicting Kong looking a little more ‘33-esque?
I actually prefer what we got in the final movie, yeah Showa King Kong does look like he got left in the dryer for too long, but he’s got a certain charm to him that that design just… doesn’t.
Concept design: Giant Bigfoot.

Final design: FUNKY MONKE

In all seriousness, one wonders if Showa Kong shares a common ancestry with Japanese Macaques.

They might have been going for that.

This isn't from a movie, but i found some neat concept art for Krystalak that came from Godzilla Unleashed.. TBH he looks a bit better than the monster we got that honestly looks like he was better off in the next Rampage installment.

Funky Monke 62 Kong is beyond charming for no reason.

That Krystalak looks better than the final design to me, but it’d need tweaking to really fit the Unleashed game/Godzilla Universe aesthetic.

Honestly, I'd say the opposite. This looks like a generic enemy you'd find in Runescape. Krystalak is way more distinct and feels like a kaiju.

Same. I think the issue with Krystalak was: no effort was done in creating a roar, and not keeping the bearded-lizard look of one of the ne concept arts and instead giving a more humanoid face.

Its a subtle change, but a big one.

It's too humanoid for Godzilla.

I'm still wondering wtf that Legion looking one is all about. The other one's here look like they could still be botched clones of Godzilla, but that one just looks like concept art for a Gamera 2 spoof.

One in particular bears a strong resemblance to one of the original concept art designs for the titular creature in Alien.

Orga has some seriously crazy designs, all are so creative and could easily be made into their own monsters.

I could easily see a few of those being used for an Ultraman foe.

Here's some new concepts for GvK MechaGodzilla I've never seen before. They REALLY leaned heavily into the T-800 inspiration here because that first one SCREAMS "Skynet".

I like how in some shots, Gaira actually looks Frankenstein-like! The second piece at the top gives off Gillman vibes.
