Not entirely sure where this photo is from but I'll never get tired of seeing how these suits are built. It'd be nice if they could release a short documentary showing how it all came together once its finished (but knowing Toho, they might lock it behind a paywall ).

I have a gut feeling that, no matter how it turns out when it's done, it's not going to look nearly as interesting or dynamic as that original suit.

Looking great. Can't wait to see Showa Gigan and GFW Gigan standing side by side.

IIRC, someone said there was going to be something with both this new Showa suit and the FW suit. Either way, I'm sure we'll eventually see them together on display sometime.Legion1979 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:26 amIs that the plan?Mac Daddy MM wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:08 am Looking great.

They already built it so might as well use it.

Pretty neat. It'll certainly be something to see the original Godzilla in a battle for the first time. Wonder how "mobile" he'll be.
Still hoping Gigan 2004 shows up too. That "Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex" trailer has multiple Gigans in it, too, so maybe?

At 1:18, he mentions a tokusatsu miniseries with Godzilla and Gigan facing off in it. Maybe it's a subtitle translation error, but does that mean it's going to be a couple of shorts with the Godzilla and Gigan suits?

GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that.
Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

Re: Gigan 50th Anniversary - Crowdfunded Suit/Short Film
That would be awesome, actually. I remember a rumor/report/whatever at the start of the year we'd end up seeing the new Showa Gigan suit alongside the FW one. Not sure if there's any truth to that now, or if that means we'd actually see BOTH team up (that'd be insane), but damn if that wouldn't be something special.darthzilla99 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 7:18 am https://youtu.be/hXzF1MXBUhY

Are we get orginals and FW versions of Godzilla and Gigan teaming up against one another?

Re: Gigan 50th Anniversary - Crowdfunded Suit/Short Film
I would certainly hope not given that its crowdfunded. Funnily enough, the first thing I did when the Godzilla vs. Hedorah short dropped was download it. I wasn't expecting them to remove it, but I like to save short videos like that. Glad I did...Thatguy4683 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 2:00 pm Is this gonna be like Godzilla vs Hedorah Situation like they upload a video and then make it private shortly after
Hm, interesting. I'm doubtful we'll see two Godzillas, so I wonder if this means the 1954 poster isn't for this short film? IDK.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 11:17 pm https://twitter.com/godzilla_jp/status/ ... ZcezQ&s=19

By the way, Wikizilla has been collecting a gallery of behind-the-scenes pics. Pretty cool stuff, sweet miniature work as always.
