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: <a href="http://www.historyvortex.org/GodzillaEvolution2.html">http://www.historyvortex.org/GodzillaEvolution2.html</a> ... 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.

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?<br> -- Sanjeev 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.
