PL kits are fine with me- while it's not Godzilla, here is an example of what you can do with a Polar Lights kit- the Creature from the Black Lagoon, has some added features from aftermarket shops, the girl is from Jimmy Flintstone along with a new head and arms.  I had a lot of fun building this combo.

Sounds like you have a great fiance- my wife just complains about all my "junk" around the house!

 Yuck [yuck]

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

My favourite version has to be the "Biogoji" created in 1989 ("Godzilla vs Biollante") and used as a basis for all the other suits up until 1995 - it has a wonderfully feral, animalistic look. I made the Max Factory kit of that, vinyl has its challenges but the end result is a great looking monster.

From the sound of it your girlfriend is talking about the "Megagoji" ("Godzilla vs Megalon") which had big eyes and a rather comical look.

You could try Hobby Japan and have a search through their stock list, any more questions feel free to ask.

Godzilla kits?
Posted by Kugai on Thursday, June 11, 2009 10:13 PM

My fiancee wants a Godzilla for the mantel but I'm having a little trouble figuring which kit to get.  I'm reluctant to get the PL kit or anything else that's styrene ( too many bad experiences with styrene figures ), but I'd be willing to make an exception if I knew what the finished kits looked like ( I don't trust box art without stills of a finished kit).

Does anyone have any references for pics of finished kits and/or leads for ones they'd recommend?

One final factor: though she said any decent version would do, she'd prefer the '70s version ( looks kinda like there was a "Cookie Monster" influence in the face, I call it "Frogzilla") from the last few movies before the big G's first retirement.

Thanks in advance for the help.
