God, I hate the SP designs so much and this is a good example of that. It's an amalgamated to high Hell, if you can even call it that. I see nothing that resembles Kumonga in that design whatsoever.

JJ is just a Mechanized mothafucking Danny Devito and Gabara is just a Gremlin with a horn and confused as to what the fuck it actually is and looks like it's questioning his existence.

I do enjoy SP's Manda. I like the mix of draconic and marine life features blended together.

Some more good ones I can think of...

- MV Godzilla
- MV Rodan
- SP Anguirus
- MV King Ghidorah
- Shin Ultraman Neronga
- Shin Ultraman Gabora

initially, I disliked almost all of the new designs in Godzilla: Singular Point. But now, having seen the show, I like them all, and SP is one of my top 10 favourite pieces of Godzilla media!

Kiryu. While not topping Showa it’s the best design since.

Why does this series feel the need to merge pre-existing kaiju with others, while making them only come across as one of each?

I would buy it if it was the result of some interdimensional fusion.

I stand by my belief that SOS Mothra is the best she has ever looked.

And since you mentioned GMK, I feel that every monster design in that movie aside from Baragon isn't really that good. The GMK Godzilla design just doesn't do it for me. Ghidorah is too wimpy for me (I understand that was what they were going for, but its still not something I care for), and Mothra just feels way too toy-like

I do like the original design from this picture alone, the Kaiju manage to look unique without being ridiculous.

this redesign actually look decent at least from the model, really wish that it was reflected with the movie CGI

Showa Anguirus is a real downgrade from GRA’s Angy.

Gonna have to agree here. As iconic as the 1968 suit is, he's way too puppydog-ish for me. Being an adorable scrungly is and always has been Baragon's job.

Singular point had its first anniversary yesterday so I figure I should drop a controversial Best from it here...

Rodan's second form looks great and it works perfectly for this new role they take in the story.

“Rodan”
What a lovely picture of a Pterosaur :lol:

Added in 14 minutes 26 seconds:
All right let’s be real here as much I don’t need like some SP redesign, they have done a much better job than what the anime trilogy provided. Like seriously who looked at this and said Yep that’s MechaGodzilla. The only things that resemble themselves is the creatures from the flashbacks and Godzilla himself which is basically legendary Godzilla that is painted bluish green and grass texture.

Mechagodzilla from RPO is so bland and meh, it gives me no feeling. It just feels so "modern movie".
