I'm glad the proportions look awful so there's absolutely no possible temptation to even consider dropping money on this.

The lower legs and feet look a bit small. Other than that, I'm not too sure which Godzilla this is. It's obviously not a showa Godzilla. Looks kinda heisei Godzilla...on a diet. It's not Mire-Goji or GMK Godzilla. I thought it might be Finaro-Goji because of the face, but the proportions are way off. Before heisei, we have 1984 and Bio-Goji...I'm thinking it's not either of those. Anyone have any thoughts?

It definitely looks like a Heisei Gojira as opposed to a Millenium one, with the rounded canine head, taut chest, and fairly reserved back spines. The legs do look a bit lithe though, and the head isn't quite as rounded as it should be for the '81/'84 look. As you say, it's definitely not Showa Goji, and the head and body are all wrong for the Final Wars version.

Irregardless, at three grand, it's a safe pass for me. :p

EDIT:
Whoops! I meant 84/91 heisei look, not 81/84. Either way, looking at this suit breakdown:

... It most closely (in my eyes) resembles the suit which was used in G.vs Biollante and G vs. King Ghidora. The legs on that suit even seem to be fairly skinny like the statue.

I suppose I could pop in my R3 GvB dvd tonight and check but meh.
