I dont know what it is about the Showa suits that just seems so magical but they make me think of the golden age of Kaiju/giant monster movies.

I think a lot of it comes from the way they were made. Prior to '84 there was one suit hand built from head to toe and this led to a lot of variety over the Showa era. From '84 on, they used molding to create multiple suits from a sculpt and while there was some variation in the Heisei era, it was nowhere near the differences of the Showa.

I feel like the creativity in creature design was stronger during the Showa era and everything from '84 on just got more and more boring overall with a few occasional gems.

64 only Showa I really like.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Get out.

 

[MaulFan]

All awesome.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Yup. And for me, '62 and '68 as well. Poor '55, '73 and '67 lol

 

[jye4ever]

Ok, maybe 62 as well.

I'm more of a Heisei and 2000 kind of man.

Those claws and that rude looking grill. The precursor for the godzilla 2000 sakai face.

Dude, that's because that was the golden age of Kaiju/giant monster movies.

(And you're welcome!)

That's entirely true. The spectacle of the Showa era has not been matched.

[jye4ever]

It's amazing what they can ship nowadays.

 

[Rotfish]

I'd love a 30cm '67 just so I can have something to display next to Minya and Kumonga. Not my favorite suit by a long shot and it wouldn't be an easy purchase unless I had those other figures, but... I do, so...

 

[MaulFan]

My 12" arrive tomorrow.

Hopefully mine will ship then.
