Woah, dayum! Those are interesting! Dang, I wish TK would post this sooner!... Though that's hard to do, due to quality. Anyone know where I can get this for a good price?

Sorry about the rather shitty quality...I don't have a scanner, so I had to take a digital camera snap shot. Also, I have no idea why, but these pics are facing sideways and not horizontally like they should (they're horizontal in my photobucket....very odd). Anyways, I'll try to keep 'em coming!

*EDIT* fixed the pic problem.
No Problem, If you take a look at my posts you can tell I have to use a camera sicne I dont have a scanner either.

Oh my Balls this book is awesome. I honestly may buy it at some point just because of my love of art and heisei is my favorite era.
Ahh!!!! Demon Elephant!!!!!

Maybe I can help and pitch in on this! Ya'll should find this fun to see.

What's interesting to note that the last picture you see, the hunchback Bagan as we call him was suppose to have three forms... Maybe from the Return of Godzilla ver. 1?

Also, it would seem that the Gigamoth film may have had an extra random monster in one of the drafts... Fights Godzilla in Las Vegas. That's all I know. No known name and probably minor role if it is the Gigamoth film.

^Wait, KaijuX, you have this book? Perhaps you can help me in this thread:
http://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewto ... 03&start=0
Please? I want to get as much info as I can on unused creations. And it appears that the bird-like kaiju is a new one! Never knew about that one. Thanks!

I like the red & black design on the bottom left. Really looks like a demon monster.

Clearly they all need to be made into Monsterarts! J/K. Wow, Bagan could be an entire season's worth of Ultraman baddies!

I think I'll track down and purchase a copy of this book; I grew up in the 90s, so I have more of an emotional and nostalgic connection to the Heisei period than I do to the Showa period of Godzilla (though I do love the Showa Godzilla films). Thank you for reminding me that this book exists!

Bagan went through alot, didn't he? ;)

It's amazing how different some could be. I really like that blue, 6-armed Dragon one.

Yeah, the blue dragon is gorgeous.

I seem to recall a book like this one for the Heisei Gamera series; am I just imaging things or can anyone in the know confirm if such a thing exists? Thanks.

I very much consider TFA to be half-assed. What a generic film which only fed on nostalgia, it brought nothing new to the table.
That's not true. C3PO had a red arm.
