Oh, yeah. I love the film design, but seeing that would've blown me away. :shock:

But, Shin Godzilla's always evolving, so there's hope that one way or another we may see it see the light of day.

So many of the rejected Shin Godzilla designs really fascinate me, especially the humanoids and other strange forms Godzilla could have taken but Toho had to put some boundaries on Anno. It REALLY makes you wonder how the film would have turned out if Hideaki Anno had zero limitations.

Look at Evangelion and that will answer your question.

I think I've found out where that trippy animated Hedorah originated from.

This unused Godzilla design for Godzilla 2000 is pretty neat. It's like a more edgy version of BioGoji.

Another reminder of how good Keizer Ghidorah could've looked.

Looks like they toyed around with the idea of actually giving Irys a mouth.

The head with the raptor like beak would have worked well, considering Iris represents the phoenix.

I like that middle one that looks like Gyaos but honestly, my favorite has to be the far left head. Something about that handle-like beak appeals a lot to me.

This rejected Shin Godzilla atomic breath concept art is stellar. Imagine if this actually made it into the movie.

TBH i'm kinda glad it was scrapped. Blue atomic breath is more classic yeah but the slimmer, purple ray made Shin feel a lot more unique.

Can you elaborate on what you like about Keizer Ghidorah in this concept art? Because I don't see much of a difference between this and the design we got in the movie.

I'm glad we didn't get that Moguera. It's too Kamen Rider/super hero in appearance, even down to what looks like a cape.

I just found concept art for Gaira, the villain in Yoshimitsu Banno's proposed Gamera film!

I'm sure this has been posted on these forums before, but I still think this is a pretty badass maser canon.
