Godzilla Chronicles Part 3

This is the final post dealing with the 15 Godzilla set. It deals with Godzilla from 1999 onwards.


Godzilla 1999

This started the third and final series of Godzilla movies. This suit was seen in the movie Godzilla 2000. The scales on this suit were more detailed and prominent, his dorsal plates were large and jagged with a rose tint to them, and his head shape was thinner, making him look more reptilian. Godzilla's mouth and eyes contained the trademark "frown" present on other suits; the tongue was long and teeth had the old fangs, and his eyes were white with black pupils, much like the eyes used on the 84 suit. The tiny ears that existed in the original Godzilla suit and those in the Heisei series had also returned. The suit was painted a natural, dark shade of green. It was the first Godzilla suit to be officially painted green, where as previous suits were mostly painted charcoal gray, except the ones in the original film.

Godzilla 2000


This next Godzilla was in the 2000 movie Godzilla vs Megaguirus. It had a smaller mouth, flatter face, longer neck, the skin color was changed to an even lighter shade of green, and the color of the dorsal plates was changed to more of a light purple color.



















Godzilla 2001


This version appeared in the movie GMK:Giant Monsters All Out Attack. They decided to give Godzilla a whole new look. They took both the designs of the Godzilla 1954 suit and the Heisei series suits and combined them to keep Godzilla looking like he did in the good old days, but he also looked very modern. Significant muscle was given to this suit and the pointer and thumb claws were made longer then the other two. The pupils and irises in the eyes were removed, projecting the impression of Godzilla's now evil nature. Godzilla's dorsal plates also shrank in size from the previous Millennium suit designs and returned to their original look, smooth and bone-white in color. The skin of the suit also returned to its original texture and charcoal gray color.

Godzilla 2002

This version of Godzilla appeared in the movie Godzilla X Mechagodzilla. This new version, did however go under some pretty obvious changes from those two previous designs. The head was completely changed and made smaller to sort of represent the head of the Heisei series Godzilla. The dorsal plates were reduced a bit and lost their purplish hue, deciding to keep the classic bone-white color, but still remained jagged. Godzilla's skin also returned from the green to the old charcoal gray, Godzilla's traditional color.

Godzilla 2003

In the following film Godzilla X Mothra X Mechagodzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. the sequel to Godzilla X MechaGodzilla, Godzilla's appearance remained basically the same, but this time had a new, large, deep red scar on the chest of the suit. Which was from a wound from the previous movie.
