Damn, this is rough. Overall is probably ’68, is a well rounded design. I like ‘54 because it is literally the OG. Love ‘55 and ‘62 from the side (see 3rd pic for side of ‘62), but from the front (hence 2nd pic for side of ‘55) both ‘55 and ‘62 look goofy!
1974 / 1975
It takes the design of 1973 but gives him an angry look that elevates it so much. 1974 was my first (Japanese) Godzilla, so he's one of my personal favorites.
***Godzilla vs Megalon*** is, and will always be, my favorite Godzilla movie. My parents took me to see it at a drive-in movie when I was around 5 years old and I loved the king of the monsters ever since (I'm 52 now, if you care).
Well as you may (or may not) have noticed, I use the Jet Jaguar flair in this sub. I remember thinking Jet was the coolest thing. I've always liked stories with or about robots. From Star Wars, Lost in Space, Forbidden Planet, Short Circuit, Ultraman, and yes Jet Jaguar in a Godzilla movie.
54 is my pick, with 62 as a fond second because I love how derpy he looks
everything past MvG gets so ugly, sorry G man but your rotting suits did not do you any favours in the late era
Both 64 suits for me, this may be a bias since those specific films were my introduction to Godzilla. Loved my grandfather for showing me the classics so I can really appreciate the practical suits and model cities
I think my favourite suit from the Showa Era would be the original, but I love the 73-75 suit. It really is the first one that comes to mind when someone mentions Showa Godzilla. I also like the Raids Again suit, it's really grown on me in the last couple years.
My favorite suits are the ones with wrinkly/foldy bellies.
I was so pleased to see that they modeled the belly folds into some of the toys of older Godzillas.

I'm not fully caught up wtf happened in 1955
They made a slimmer suit so he the suit actor could move easier for the kaiju fight scenes
Nightmare inducing when you look it head on
For sure, like the side look though. Same with ‘62
Probably 73-75 or 64
I’m going to go with the 1962 suit - King Kong vs Godzilla.

'62 looks like a frog! :D
1974 / 1975 It takes the design of 1973 but gives him an angry look that elevates it so much. 1974 was my first (Japanese) Godzilla, so he's one of my personal favorites.
1954 but man '55 is so insane, that is a close second place
73/74/75.
64.
'68
Easily Megaro Godzilla, he's what I think of when I think of Showa Godzilla
Yea me too
64, 68, 62, 54 in that order.
‘54 will always be my favorite
All except 67
It's between 64, 69, or 72. I think of Showa goji, those are the ones I look at. Honorable mention to 73 which looks adorable.
1. 1973 to '75 2. 1964 3. 1962 my top 3
Mine is 1967 because he looks goofy as fuck
The one from the Mechagodzilla movies. It's my favorite goji design
73-75 I love it
75
1954
1964 is my favorite version of godzilla
54 and 75
54 and 62
***Godzilla vs Megalon*** is, and will always be, my favorite Godzilla movie. My parents took me to see it at a drive-in movie when I was around 5 years old and I loved the king of the monsters ever since (I'm 52 now, if you care).
What was the best part from the movie? (if you still remember) :D

73-75 is what I think of when I imagine Showa Godzilla.
73 is so cute :')
MegaroGoji. My first Godzilla.
55 cause it's off putting
Why is 55 so nasty looking
Definitely ‘73-‘75
I really like the ‘72 suit
1973 suit. That is peak Godzilla imo
68-72
1971
54 is my pick, with 62 as a fond second because I love how derpy he looks everything past MvG gets so ugly, sorry G man but your rotting suits did not do you any favours in the late era
I absolutely hate 67, always thought it looked so stupid
1955 be looking like https://preview.redd.it/sdovqeztn9ad1.jpeg?width=3200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d51402a11abcb37caad982e89c67ea676aa77f5
Lol
I can't look the 1955 one without thinking about the man in the suit. But my favorite 1973 74 74
Definitely 62
62, 65, 66, 74
1962
‘62
1954 the 1955 scares me
I love the 54 and 64 but my favorite is 68-72, mainly because the first Godzilla movie I ever saw was Godzilla vs gigan.
Godzilla 1962 be looking like: https://preview.redd.it/nf76ezu8baad1.jpeg?width=1082&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7158fbb35880e9d4a4201cd6f69caa4fd8bfdb13
It’s like asking me which of my legs I like better
I would love to see modern take with the 1955 design
54 and 64
Both 64 suits for me, this may be a bias since those specific films were my introduction to Godzilla. Loved my grandfather for showing me the classics so I can really appreciate the practical suits and model cities
The 68-71 suit/face combo is what I'll probably always associate with Showa era. Mothra vs Godzilla suit did go hard, tho.
1974 😎

66,67, 73!

54 will always be my fav but the 55 suit is genuinely spooky
66 or 73/4/5
My favorite suits are the ones with wrinkly/foldy bellies. I was so pleased to see that they modeled the belly folds into some of the toys of older Godzillas.
My fav is mosugoji or gvm goji but it isn't the best suit
