DAY 35: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Here's a spectacular still from Godzilla's Counterattack. This is a really cool mat shot, with a good sense of perspective.

DAY 34: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

"Hey man nobody's around, let's try it on". Actually it's Sadazou Toshimitsu and his assistant assembling the Godzilla suit and making alterations where needed.

DAY 33: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Sadazou Toshimitsu is working on a new Godzilla suit for "Godzilla's Counterattack". Without the eyes put in yet, this suit reminds me of 2001's GMK Goji. Fierce and menacing.

DAY 32: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

It's all most ready to go. Angilas looks like the Call of the Wildman guy's worst nightmare. You want live action buddy? Here it is.

DAY 31: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Sadazou Toshimitsu is hard at work on the Angilas suit head. This old school version of the mutant anklyosaur sure looks a lot more menacing than later versions.

DAY 30: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Happy Friday!!! Here's Sadazou Toshimitsu's finished Angilas model. It looks like it's on top of a clam shell, that's acting as a mountain for the spiky kaiju. Notice the lighting effects in the background.

DAY 29: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

It's Sadazou Toshimitsu hard at work on the new kaiju Angilas. Hmmmm do I want the X-Plus figure or do I want one of these. Definitely these!!!

DAY 28: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Today Godzilla and Angilas go head to head destroying a Japanese castle. You'll see this happen again in King Kong vs. Godzilla with one of the best models ever built and smashed in their entire movie catalog.

DAY 27: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Here's some nice shots of the cast from Godzilla's Counterattack, Hiroshi Koizumi, Setsuko Wakayama, Minoru Chiaki, and Mayuri Mokusho.

DAY 26: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Are you ready for some Godzilla's Counterattack? Here's the usual copy and paste action still using the original Godzilla and the debut of the new kaiju Angilas. I love this film. It's the first "versus" story of sorts, that actually continues the continuity from the first film on to the third.

DAY 25: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

This is the cover of the massive Toho Encyclopedia. I'll be sharing lots and lots of pictures from this gem. The behind the scene stuff is just crazy. Look at this painting, it's just sick!

DAY 24: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

This classic still is great. Here we have Godzilla fighting off Japanese Zeros! I notice Godzilla's scale varies from one promo still to the next. In this one Godzilla has a grimace.

DAY 23: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Another classic still of the Big "G'. I remember this one in an old issue of Famous Monsters I had when I was a kid. Godzilla looks very very evil in this one. Awesome still!!!

DAY 22: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

I've always liked this longer style of poster. I'm guessing these are lobby posters. There's a Son of Godzilla one that makes me drool. Anyways check out the little stills of Godzilla spread through out the poster. Kind of cool.

DAY 21: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

I thought this poster for the 54' film was rather unique with the title Gojira in yellow. It looks like it has a light sepia-tone hue to it, giving it a little warmth. I really dig it.

DAY 20: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Look at this sweet shot of Godzilla overlooking the Japanese Diet Building. Notice even the miniature trees look real.

DAY 19: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Check these amazing stills of Dr. Serizawa (Akihiko Hirata). He looks almost sinister. The one through the fish tank is pretty cool. 

DAY 18: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

A very unique still today. Here we have a camera shot from behind glass work. I also like the lighting in this one.

DAY 17: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

Inoshiro Honda and Eiji Tsuburaya check out the Godzilla hand puppet in this classic still. Um yeah, that would look nice in my display case.

DAY 16: COUNTDOWN TO LEGENDARY'S GODZILLA

A perfect shot of Godzilla, right before he takes out the clock tower. I love you can see his eyes and fangs in this one.
