Yeah this figure is probably going to be taller by a few inches and is definitely wider, wing to wing.

Mothra looks rad.

I’m not really a big Godzilla fan though. I just think the design is neat. Very slick and badass.

Something someone like me would dig. king G looks rad too.

The kaiju himself? No idea.

The biggest Ghidorah has ever been in a movie is around 150 meters- they might make him a bit taller since 2014 Godzilla is 108 meters or some such, but it won't be too much.


Just ballparking it from the trailer, MY KING will be around 180-200 meters tall. He's massive and historically he's always dwarfed Godzilla. And Dougherty is a turbonerd about those things.

Seriously though, that is definitely NOT Rodan in that picture. It's shaped all different and is covered in feathers. It's some kind of phoenix-type thing. I suspect the rumors of additional new kaiju are true...and likely for jobbing out to the big boys, but still. More monsters.

Finally, they brought back the giant condor from Godzilla vs the Sea Monster.

Seems weird there would be multiple different volcano bird monsters unless they are a family unit like the MUTOs. I’m guessing the drawing is battled damaged (if Rodan doesn’t have feathers) or the toy has a layer of molten lava on its wings (if Rodan does have feathers).

I saw the pictures over on Reddit, and apparently the director said Rodan had feathers in his earlier designs, which were removed later.

So I’m thinking that’s an early concept art of Rodan.

Huh. Not sure if those things at the front of Mothra are supposed to be claws so she can tussle with the other kaiju a bit, or just antennae.

Mixing the Godzilla theme with the Ligeti's Requiem from the Halo jump scene for maximum "oh gently caress".

I do hope they keep some elements of Desplat's score in the film, because I thought the main theme for G14 was fantastic in that old school monster movie fashion.

Mothra's body seems almost more like a bee or a wasp looking at that better pic. Also is it my imagination or does Godzilla look mildly slimmed down from 2014? Like, he still has that dense, standing bear shape, but he looks les fat to me.

He's on the cutting phase for this movie. After that, he's gonna bulk up again for Kong.

Also Mothra being wasp-y isn't a new thing. GMK did that first.

I do love that she's basically using Kamacurus arms

Each of Ghidorah's heads were performed by a different performer to assure each head would be distinct.

Mothra's theme is in the film.

Oh god that's good. I'm totally nerding out on this stuff, and to make it even better, I've got my 8 year old sitting here with me looking at the pictures and reacting to the music (his eyes got huge and he just said, "Ohhhh!"). He breaks with many G-fans in that he hates the twins with a passion. I was giving him a hard time by singing like them.

Well that clears up that confusion about Rodan.

I wonder if the song will include the lyrics or just the melody.

Wow that Mothra was not the direction I was expecting them to go, but I dig the conceptual resemblance to the Mutos.

Ghidorah is on loving point though.
