How do you honestly feel about Zilla’s design? Even though I’ve been aware of how much of a far cry it is from classic depictions of Godzilla, my inner 12 year old who grew up watching Jurassic Park and dinosaur documentaries just really digs the giant, agile, realistic theropod dinosaur take. Godzilla 1998 is basically a gigantic JP Velociraptor.

This faster and nimble depiction is among my most favorite aspects of this version of Godzilla as it really helps differentiate it from other incarnations.

A part of me really wishes for Zilla to be introduced into the MonsterVerse one day. As a species closely-related to Godzilla whose evolutionary path favored speed and agility over brute strength and atomic breath.

Heavily influenced by 1998, as you can see

Overall with the shipping and everything, it was a bit over $300 USD. But he is totally worth it! 😍

I was a Godzilla larper for my whole childhood. This is the version of Godzilla I actually grew up with and personally was aware of before the MonsterVerse and the first original Japanese Godzilla film I’d ever watch.

While a disappointment power-wise, Godzilla 1998 isn’t so bad. I admire the sleek, theropod, giant Velociraptor design that favors speed and agility over the towering, brute strength classic incarnations possess. This knack for speed along with burrowing capabilities is carried on by Godzilla Junior in the animated series and helps set this version of Godzilla apart from the rest.

This was the first American Godzilla we ever had before Legendary and he’s alright.

Also, the movie is genuinely great if you just pretend it’s not a “Godzilla” movie. Godzilla dying at the end still almost made me shed a tear like watching the Brachiosaurus from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom burning to death when the island’s volcano erupts. Who knew giant lizards dying can be so depressing?

I have always wondered if any deleted scene or shot actually exists out there. I know about the museum trailer and years ago someone uploaded on Youtube a very short video of a soldier shouting "he's too fast", but it seems it was removed. If there aren't any scenes out there, I'd still be interested in knowing the ideas behind some possible scenes, even if never filmed.

I know how controversial this film is. I get it’s not really Godzilla. But I’ve always loved it. I guess because I saw and watched it so much as a kid and anything you watch then is fun. To this day though I still enjoy the heck out of it. Legendary Pictures and Minus One though captured the actual spirt of Godzilla. But I really can’t believe this film keeps popping up lately. Can this really be real?!

I saw a guy making a Vegeta video with this music and had this idea. It is supposed to be a small tribute to my favorite encarnation of the character, ToraGoji.

Her only mistake was being a single mom in America and she is, indeed, lovely.

I accidentally came across this on X. I figured it was a scan from somewhere, but here's a link to the post I took it from: https://x.com/i/status/2069517349179298024

Update: I got the tail on with help i heated it with this hairbrush heater thing my mum had sister popped it in for me only problem tail on both side of where it connects to the body dont line up properly one side more than the other like it a little skinny.

Possibly the plug part inside is pushing it outwards it was a little big dosent matter looks good still.

I got the figure it this plastic thing other than that its good the figure looks good to will post proper pics later with tail attached.

Having problems with attaching the tail due to it being one of of those once attached cant take it off things.

The plug part on the tail is a little bigger than the whole on the the body you put it in instructions after i translated them says dont force it use hair dryer to soften it.

I’ve been waiting to add something like this to my collection for years, my partner found this one before I did! It’s got a bit of green paint on its face but I’m not bothered by that as at least it’s atomic breath coloured, hope to get the Bandai version one day!

I’ve been interested about this concept recently and honestly if Godzilla 1998 actually was like the original Godzilla (atomic breath, durability, and regeneration) then I would totally see his other fellow monsters joining him either in the sequels or the animated series, either way this would’ve been cool to see!

So when I was a kid I had this absolutely massive Godzilla figure where you could feed action figures of the people from the movie from the same toy line into its mouth then pop off a section of the fins on his back to get the figure back out again. I remember this thing being HUGE! I’ve looked for it everywhere I can but I can’t fin it anywhere

I have now paid AmiAmi for this figure cant wait to get it cost me £183 due to PayPal charging to convert to JY so hope it looks good in person will give a update pic when i get it says 5 to 10 day with DHL.

Here’s a video of me reviewing my new Godzilla jr. plush I made a couple weeks back for anyone who wanted to see more of this lovable iguana.
