ニコンプラザ新宿のカメラメンテの予約時刻まで少し時間があったので、新宿歌舞伎町を撮影してみました。はたしてゴジラが見守っている歌舞伎町は健全な街になっているのでしょうか？
I had a little time before my camera maintenance appointment at Nikon Plaza Shinjuku, so I took some photos of Shinjuku Kabukicho. Is Kabukicho, under Godzilla's watch, a healthy neighborhood?
So there I was...sitting at home this evening, enjoying a nice cup of tea reading some old Spiderman comic books...and then...BAAMMM!!!
What feels like seconds later was really hours...my body feels like it just got shot out of Godzilla's rectum...I finally open my eyes to see what the heck is going on and then...WAM!...I just got licked (more like smacked) on the face by this enormous tounge that even the dude from KISS would be envyous of...
Immediately I realize that Venom has kidnapped me for reasons I do not know...All I know is that he is even more uglier in person and smells like doo-doo...Is there some super power I posses that he wishes to steal from me?...does he want all my money (doubt it)?...or does he just want to lick me to death?
Stay Tuned...
Portrait of a Bootleg Godzilla - Homemade Magnifying Glass Camera Obscura, iScan Portable Scanner.
Here's a video showing how I made this camera: youtu.be/Cc8fB1TReY4
As I moved closer to a pond of water in order to get a nice shot at a Golf course I heard, "UGG". I looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary and took one more step forward. Again I heard, "UGG". When I looked down, not 8' away was the largest Iguana I have ever even heard of, never mind seen.
I noticed he started bobbing his head up and down and figured that must be Iguana talk for, "Piss off". I slowly back away never taking my eyes off of his rather large teeth and went straight to my car. I had my 24-70 lens on so quickly replaced it with my 70-200 and returned to the scene of the crime.
Godzilla was still there so I took a few more shots, this time from a safer distance. His body alone was 4' long and the tail added to his length. All other Iguana's we saw were a greenish-grey color. Their entire body might be 3' if it were a big one. But this one was a monster.

So there's a Flying Saucer to your left and Godzilla on your right. Is the UFO here to help or just using Godzilla as a diversion for more fiendish endeavors? Or did Godzilla summon the flying saucer for his own amusement? Tune in next time for the exciting and unexpected conclusion to this story.
In the fourth quarter of 1993, MechaGodzilla would be revived for the big screen as a hero and not a villain. As a result, Bandai produced figures for all the monsters in the movie - Godzilla, MechaGodzilla, Fire Rodan, and Baby Godzilla. The mold used for Godzilla in 1992 would be reused. New molds were created for the other three monsters. All are nicely detailed and very close to the monster they represent. Godzilla, MechaGodzilla, and Fire Rodan appear to be in scale with each other but Baby Godzilla is not. The tags feature the advance art work for "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla" and the usual information as well as the character's name on the back. An interesting observation is that the characters have a '94 after the name instead of '93. This is because the movie was released in late 1993 and labeled the characters as 1994 because of how close the release date was to the end of the year.
MechaGodzilla stands nearly 9 inches tall and is chock full of neat little details. The figure was molded in grey vinyl with various black highlights on the neck, toros, tail, and spines. The figure has striking golden eyes. Bandai included many of the details that one would miss at first glance, such as the intricate mechanical circuitry around the head and in other places. There is articulation at the arms, neck, ankles, and tail. Like Fire Rodan, the mold would be used two other times. First, in 1995's Godzilla Memorial Box and then in the "Toho Kaiju" series. The figure in the memorial box is about an inch taller than the 1993 release and is more silver in color. For the "Toho Kaiju" version, Bandai scaled the figure down to 6 inches (like all other figures in the series). Other than the size, the figure practically mirrors the original release.
In Grand Cayman I ran into this huge fellow in some hedges on my way to Seven Mile Beach. After taking some photo's and carefully keeping my distance he got bored and went up a tree.
Along with Battra and Godzilla, Bandai released the 1992 version of Mothra larva. It is my humble opinion that at the time, this figure was Bandai's most realistic kaiju production. Every part of the figure is just as accurate as the monster used in the film. The figure (and design) is very similar to the Great Monster Series 1961 released in 1984 and then reissued in 1991. However, the feelers are much smaller and so is the figure. The tail is also molded vertically while the Great Monster Series' is not. Though the figure is anything but small, it is around 10 inches long. Mothra comes in two paint variations, biege and russet. It is difficult to tell which one is more rare because the figure itself is hard to find. In fact, it's possibly the hardest Heisei Bandai figure to find, leading some dealers to charge over $200 for it. The figure originally sold for 1,200 yen in Japan.

First batch of June garden journal shots. We had a delightfully mixed June with more than usual rain yet plenty of sun too. The garden went mad for it.
Its been a mountain of work but hey I'm home almost all the time now.
He likes to hide, find Godzilla and buddy.
Every year, my father carries on the Christmas tradition of putting his Godzilla figurine into my mother's "Christmas Village" scenes. Here's one from 2007.
Just an experiment to see if I could merge a figure into one of my fake tilt shift scenes. Best viewed at full size.
Here's hoping for health and peace to all, rare treasures in today's world.
And Godzilla say, remember Friday is Buy Nothing day.

Scuse the title, it's just that when I saw the thumbnail for this it looked like a bird eating an insect
My new LEGO version of Godzilla.
I'm very happy to finally share it after all the time spend working on it.
He's 36cm (14inches) tall and made of 3533 bricks.

thankfully i think godzillas are big fans of modernist treasures so he's just going to give it a little hug

My actual last entry for both the Iron Forge and Space Jam. It's my 9th of the third round for IF, using the 2x2 trapezoidal flag as the seed part; 12 were used here. And it's my 4th entry to Space Jam, this time in the 12x12 vignette category.
"Godzilla? It's the name of a monster that lives in the sea. It will come from the ocean to feed on humankind to survive."

... or the gigantic bumblebee. Just a way to see how large some of the show kites were. This mega cutie was just sinking a bit down and gave chance to this funny impression.. ;-D
I try to keep my post to just one a day, but in order to give everyone a good idea as to just how massive this monster was, I decided to post three different captures. These shots show him just as I found him and as I left him. He never moved a muscle in his body, except maybe his eyelids. He was more interested in sunning himself than my presence. No need to comment on each photo, but hopefully everyone will get the full picture. Photos taken on Armand Bayou.

Do not delude yourselves. This Iguana is really huge. From head to tail it measures about 1.5 meters.

Lore:
Ancient Mesoamericans believed in a plumed serpent god, one that was the creator of the world and humanity, bringer of the sun, winds, and rain, and he even helped create the cosmos and gave man the knowledge to understand it. He was able to fly, but also descend even below the surface of the Earth. A temple dedicated to the serpent god was one in Teotihuacan in which its layers were covered in sculpted heads poking out depicting the deity, and in its prime would have been beautifully painted. That temple, and temples liked it also helped connect the pathways Quetacoatl used to travel between Earth and the heavens.
A bunch of behind the scenes crap the judges don't care about:
Despite not really wanting to compete, I entered the 2022 Bio-Cup out of good faith and support of the constraction community and their activities with a Preliminary Round entry I was sure would fail inspection. Not only did I advance, even with the expanded bracket of 108 instead of the standard 81, I placed 76th! I guess I just don't know my own strength. And so now here we are with a Round 1 Kaiju build in the subtheme of Mythological. #KAIJUNE !
In a more recent use of the character, a bird kaiju from the animated sequel series to 1998's Godzilla served as initial inspiration for my build. (If you're not a fan of that movie, I urge you to at least watch the show, it's far more in line with classic Godzilla pictures with new and creative kaiju for nearly each of the 40 episodes.) Unfortunately, the kaiju in the episode Bird of Paradise is really only related to Quetzacoatl in name, but I liked the idea of taking more of that body structure and reskinning it to be more like the serpent of Mesoamerican lore. So now we have a snake with legs and wings, but that feels faithful enough to both the lore of the myth and the kaiju genre. I mean, how else is he going to move, and where do the performer's arms and legs go? I've seen Manda move in Destroy All Monsters, and even for its age and budget, not that impressive for a kaiju, although I haven't seen Atragon, so maybe a serpentine dragon works better upon its film debut and in water.
Thanks for checking out my Round 1 entry of the 2022 Bio-Cup.
Oh and by popular demand, some shots over on Imgur include Kongu Inika in addition to some shots of Quetzi and the temple separate from each other.
No, what you're seeing is not a child's toy. King Kong clings to the side of the Empire State Building here in the heart of South Carolina. He's massive, he's angry, and ready for some true competition.
Looks like “Godzilla Jr.” fell in love with my secretary, ….well, tomorrow is a different day & he will hold someone else in his hand.
The three digit number "798" which stands for much more than the numbers for this once booming compound for the State's pre-reform electronic industries, in Beijing these numbers symbolize country's cutting edge art movement by the Chinese vanguard, untied artistic personalities with alternative life goals.
China's artist vanguard has turned an industrial graveyard into an artistic paradise wild & unconquered attitudes breeze inside 798's free & inconsequential atmosphere.
The large area was once a booming compound for the State’s pre-reform electronic industries, the buildings, designed by the former East German Republic & constructed with help from the now former Soviet Union, were vital for China's old industrial development projects & they're just as key to the art scene at 798.
Old Maoist slogans are visible on the ceiling arches. The Dashanzi factory complex began 1951, production in 1957, as an extension of the "Socialist Unification Plan" of military-industrial cooperation between the Soviet Union & the newly formed People's Republic of China.
Attracted by the Bauhaus Style buildings, around 2002 an amazing reincarnation process began when artists' studios started cheerily popping up like daisies over graves.
This area feels an affinity to what can be discovered & sensed along the Left Bank in Paris or around Greenwich Village, NYC. 798 has become the biggest arts area in China & earned great international reputation acclaim in just two years.
📌 …Artists began to gather to re-make the factory spaces, gradually developing them into swanky galleries, hip art centres, artists' studios, design companies, fashion stores, cosy coffeehouses, bistros, restaurant, bars etc. …..& one of my favoured paces in Beijing.

Venomous Spider Monster
The sometimes-friend, mostly-often-foe to Godzilla, Kumonga (Spiga) is a kaiju species of giant spitting spider. Its webbing attacks, in tandem with its incredible jumping capabilities, means catching and defeating this kaiju will take all of Godzilla’s speed and agility.
