Thanks for posting. That was great.

I noticed the name too. It's not a joke:

I would guess that when he was young, kids nicknamed him Godzilla, which, being a fan, he embraced rather than repelled, and this may have put him on the path to becoming a Godzilla expert. Just a theory.
I always liked the early Prototype Godzilla, that I have a maquette of. My fave of course is the actual suit they went with for the first film, but the bighead prototype has a certain charm I cannot deny.
Unifive maquette
Good recent book on Eiji Tsuburaya

I always like the snappy hats worn by Japanese film directors. :cool Here's Honda.
And if you need to know where Godzilla's vulnerable spots are... well he doesn't have any.

There is much I do not have. :sleep
A life, for one. :lol

Does Godzilla poop?
I mean, he must eat a whale now and then right?
Not just reactors.

We can only hope that Godzilla has perfect matter-to-energy conversion (for firing that mouth-beam of his, for example), and thus does not need to poop. :sleep
Then again, we've never seen Godzilla either eat OR poop! :eek
He only gets woken up, climbs up onto land, devastates Tokyo, and then slinks off into the sea again. Every few years. :lol
A few interesting Godzilla related books (in English) are
The Official Godzilla Compendium: A 40 Year Retrospective
An Unauthorized Guide to Godzilla Collectibles (Schiffer Book for Collectors) by Sean Linkenback
Godzilla on My Mind: Fifty Years of the King of Monsters
Of course there are many many fantastic illustrated Godzilla books... in Japanese. I have a few of these too but cannot read them. :unsure

And let us never forget... if there's one thing Godzilla is proud of, it would have to be his huge pair of balls. :sleep
And I guess it's not true we never see Godzilla eat. He can occasionally be seen chewing thoughtfully on the 3:15 from Osaka.

Sean lives here in Atlanta and it's great to see this book again. A great deal of it was shot in our Tattoo Studio, using the collection Shane Morton had on display there. I just saw the "Going Atomic Godzilla" from the cover tonight in fact. He's about 3.5 feet tall.

Extra credit to whomever can name the film from which that actual screengrab was taken.
Here is the link again to the James Rolfe Godzillathon reviews of all movies.
Good way to get familiar with all the suits over the years.

Wuddya think a full blown Zilla suit would cost?

Loved that making of Godzilla suit video- I was obsessed with those movies as a kid!
Growing up, I used to have the Godzilla model kit that had the glow in the dark spine fins. I think it melted when our house burned. (not a Godzilla attack, just bad wiring) Somewhere in a box, I have the last US movie Godzilla mechanical toy that turns its upper body and roars that I got as a gift. I need to dig that out.
