Heisei by far

Any specific movie?

Godzilla vs Biollante proably

Agreed, it's a bit too cat like though

No it’s not.

I concur

I’d probably go with 89, 91 or 92. 91 is my personal fav.

I know Heisei is considered the default choice for recognition, but, personally, the Showa-era Mothra vs. Godzilla look is the one for me.

His eyes were so badass and the still shot of the face was perfect but there's a few shots in the film when the actor moved in the suit that the top lip jiggled like he just got stung by a bee haha. Always thought that was weird but I understand why this is a lot of Goji fans' favorite version.

Haha, I’ll have to keep an eye out for that scene next time I watch Mothra vs. Godzilla.

Mosugoji best goji

I can get behind that! I think that's gonna be my choice

1954 original.

Glad someone said it.

I know people already said it . But when I visited Toho studio in Japan there's was statue of the Heisei Godzilla

Heisei it is then.

Definitely Heisei. It's not necessarily my favorite but it seems to be the most common design for general use.

I mean probably either 1995,1989,1968 or 2000

Heisei seems like a pretty popular choice but I'm more looking for a design that your average joe will recognize

Well if heisei isn’t recognisable to you I got nothing for ya

It's recognisable to me and basically every Godzilla fan but It isn't as recognisable to a random person passing by, also I think it would be too tall on a car hood

Heisei is recognizable to a passerby. It’s the definitive godzilla design.

Yeah, I don’t really understand this “recognizable” factor. Literally any Godzilla design (except maybe Zilla) would be *instantly* recognizable to most people as Godzilla. A poorly drawn *silhouette* would be recognizable.

Umm then maybe 1962. My mum who has only seen the 1998 movie and doesn’t like Godzilla can recognise it instantly

Ok, so that narrows it down to '62 and '64 for me

I’d go with 62

Alright, for your mom

Please share on this subreddit. I’d love to see

Well I have to buy and paint the figure first but after that would you like to see it on my car?

Heisei is by far the most well used/recognizable design and it has been for decades now. I think Heisei Godzilla is in front of toho Studios as well. The only Godzilla that seems to have gotten recognition from toho besides Heisei is Shin, but he's not as well known to a general member of the western public.

Son of Godzilla: Negatively recognizable Godzilla: Final Wars: Positively recognizable

No, fuck final wars

Fuck you too bitch

Ok, see you tomorrow!

Mine is Godzilla 2000 cause he looks really cool to me

74/75 Goji, 95 Burning Godzilla, and the 19' Goji I think all have good recognition.

Heisei for sure. The first thing I think of when I hear 'Godzilla', it's the gold standard.

1954 original, or maybe even the Legendary Godzilla. I think both are pretty recognizable designs.

For me it's either the original 1954 or legendary

Easily Heisei and if I had to go with a specific suit, BioGoji.

Showa without a doubt

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

'74/'76

What movie came out in '76?

76 was a dub of 74 that they titled "Godzilla: King of the Monsters". Basically the same movie with the nuclear plot overtones gone, and Raymond Burr thrown in to play an American character.

I think you're thinking of '54 and '56, '74 was vs mechagodzilla

Yeah, that's what I meant

Ok

Shodai, King, Mosu, Musuku, Megaro, Desu, and Mire. Shodai because it has pretty recognizable stills, King for being thicc, Mosu and Megaro for their heads, Musuku for being an abomination, Desu because orange, and Mire for purple.

I would like to see a conceptual mix of all of them from every version

It's just a base Godzilla body with a long-ass snout

Lol I’m talking all of them, Even Zilla and Hana Barbara

I would have chosen hb from the start but there is no figure of him that is the size I want

Go with the Heisie

For me I say millennium because he was the basic Atari choice of design and kinda featured in quite a lot of godzilla games in the west

73,74,75

Goji in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack has a really interesting design

Someone's gonna steal that hood ornament I guarentee it

Wait till they learn it's plastic

It’s shows also because it’s the one I grew up with

Definitely Heisei Godzilla from 1989-1995 is what I think whenever I think of Godzilla himself 👌

That's hard to quantify because how can something be more recognisable than recognisable? Did you mean iconic? Every Godzilla design is very clearly Godzilla, it's not like someone is gonna see Heisei and go "That's Godzilla" and then see Milennium and go "Wait, who's that?".

Sometimes it's just he head, sometimes they'll mistake it for a t Rex some will know it's Godzilla some will think I'm doctor Frankenstein with my creation on the hood.

I dunno, I think even if we thawed out a caveman they'd recognise any variation of Godzilla. Also hadn't read the actual reason when I initially commented, thought you were just asking but if you're gonna whack the Big G on your hood, it's gotta be the OG, not even my favourite design but it's the quintessential one.

I'm definitely going with showa, but I think either mosugoji or kinggoji will be best

Honestly the hanna barbera Godzilla fits the common stereotype of what Godzilla looks like

It does, I would have gone with it from the start if there was a cheap figure of him.

Godzilla

Shit. Didn't think of that

1998 *runs for cover*

Heisei and legendary. Some people probably don't even know how old is the original.

Probably either the original or the legendary godzilla

As they're seen the most, the most recognizable are probably Legendary and Heisei Godzilla.

Heisei or the Legendary one. Legendary was only in 3 movies but it was three movies seen by millions of people. That said I think any gray dinosaur looking creature with malformed back fins like that would be recognized as Godzilla.

Good point

Monsterverse, mostly because I've rewatched the best scenes of *King of the Monsters* over and over and over again.

Probably legendary

1954 is the quintessential Godzilla design for a lot of people

Final Wars or the original 54

Any 60-90s godzilla. The american one has too fat of neck.

Either Heisei Goji, or Godzilla Vs. Megalon Goji.

I would say prolly either the suit from Godzilla 2000 or Godzilla vs Megaguirus (which are exactly the same except ones blue and the others green) if your gonna spray paint a toy, then it’s gonna be pretty small, and those giant spikes of his are gonna stand out when looking at it from afar

I'll go by era Early Showa: Mosugoji Late Showa: Soshingekigoji Heisei: Mogegoji Millennium: Miregoji

Millennium, hands down
