You know, I would probably have to go with the Godzilla 1985 look. It's just something about that particular incarnation that I love. I tend to gravitate towards preferring Godzilla with larger eyes, which was something I missed with the follow-up Heisei films. But yeah, I think it would be that. I don't own many Godzilla t-shirts, but I do have a Godzilla 1985 shirt, and whenever I'm out and about and not at work, I tend to get comments on it.

Positive comments, BTW. 


Whats yours?

First let me just say you lucky son of a gun i am so jealous of you & wish i had a godzilla shirt like that

But anyways as much as i love both suit & movie of godzilla 1985 i'm afraid my favorite look of godzilla is

BioGoji from godzilla vs Biollante,& King Ghidorah.



& again reused in godzilla vs mothra : battle for earth with slight updates & return of the showa godzilla roar & known as the BatoGoji suit



I just really really loved how this suit looked more dinosaur-ish & more mean plus if you look closely at his face during the films the suit is presented in you can see some scars on his face & body from the previous g-films which is a rare thing to see happen to godzilla now & days.

Cool. It's a look that definitely has influence and remains popular with the fans. Especially the more dinosaur-esque appearance, which remained thru the Heisei universe, and into the Millennium films even to some extent (depending on the film).

For '85, another aspect I liked about it was the mass of Godzilla, which to me, further evoked that sheer force of nature that the monster is clearly intended to represent.



Though, I do remember reading somewhere that the Godzilla suitmation actor much preferred the Biollante suit and subsequent ones to the '85 suit, as the suit itself was much bulkier and heavier than the more streamlined versions that followed.

Yeah but due to being a big guy (tall not fat may i mind you  ) it's hard to find one to fit me right heck i even have trouble looking for shirts with logos at walmart that are my size

Yeah but the thing that kills it from being my definitive look for godzilla is the eyes...i mean the eyes look great for him but when the animatronics go off he looks...uh derpy..y'know?

Exactly how tall are you? Just asking cause I'm not exactly a shorty either.

I don't know ... I thought they looked quite effective in particular shots. But there were several different versions used in '85 that altered Godzilla's appearance. Sometimes from scene to scene. The completely animatronic Godzilla looked different from the suit with the actor, as did the puppet version. All were distinct in their way, and kinda jarring for the viewer when edited cuts would implement them in a matter of seconds. But yeah, I thought the eyes were effective, like the scene where Godzilla menacingly roars at the drunk and he makes some comedic response about the big G being a big shot and how he just got to town, and certainly, the eyes were a throw back to the Showa era where the more larger eyes were more used than not.

I do concede there were some shoddy shots of Godzilla in the 1985 film, but I think ALOT of Godzilla movies suffer from the same exact problem. As I felt Godzilla looked a bit 'too' rubbery in some particular shots found in the Heisei films, and in the Showa era, there has been shots where the suit is clearly falling apart. I think in the Showa era Vs. Gigan, this is quite evident....

Yeah i've noticed those problems with the suits through out the showa & heisei however i think in the Millennium Series which is shame cause they fix any problems with those suits with love but when it came to the older ones they get tossed aside like trash....i swear if i visit japan & find a godzilla suit in the trash i'm taking that sucker home & repair it back to it's godzilla glory
