Rubie's Godzilla King of The Monsters Child Classic Godzilla Fancy Dress Costume Medium

Product Information

Because of this, the thorns were actually incredibly soft and prone to be damaged during the filming of fight scenes. The eyes on this costume did not move, though the eyelids flutter briefly in the scene when King Ghidora flies overhead at Mt.

The suit was also fitted with a mechanism that allowed steam to pour from various parts of Godzilla’s body. However, several features of this suit, principally a thick stature and three toes (rather than four) influenced the design of the Kingoji seven years later.

The Kingoji was also used in an obscure 8mm film titled “Legend of the Superbeast: Wolfman vs Godzilla”, which was apparently shot during the production of King Kong vs Godzilla.

For Godzilla’s 50th Anniversary film in 2004, Godzilla: Final Wars, director Ryuhei Kitamura wanted Godzilla to take on a leaner, meaner look while combining the looks of the previous three eras of Godzilla films.This Rodan's face was different from any of the later suits as it had a menacing, angry expression on its face. Another publicity Godzilla suit (which appeared to be smiling) was employed in Cosmic Monster, in the scene when Godzilla appears in the ocean off Okinawa. The KiryuGoji suit was repaired and used again, but this time had a new, large scar on the chest of the suit. The ShodaiRado's name comes from shodai (初代), meaning first generation, and Rado, which comes from Rodan's Japanese name, Radon (ラドン).
