The BIG KICK

[monsterjones]

Finished what I call the "The BIG KICK" with Godzilla rearing up on his tail and giving Kong some Kaiju sole!

Awesome Bill - I may steal ... errr ... copy the idea (whenever I get to customizing my Bandai Kong and 20cm Kingoji ... )

I am always struck by how OBVIOUSLY different from the '62 Kong and Godzilla suits those two BADLY-animated puppets looked!! (They ought to have hired Ray Harryhausen to animate it for them .... but then the REST of the film would have looked pathetic as a result!!!)

I know...puppet looks like a Kaiyodo 1985 version of Godzilla (in my geeK opinion.)

I got a big 'kick' out of this! Sorry for the weak humor, but this is so cool. Great idea.

I'm not familiar with the kits - how much effort or time was spent on modifications? Was the base scratch built?

Glad you axed!
about 3 weeks....Kaiyodo 20cm 1962 Godzilla...I heavily cut and reposed the vinyl kit, arms, fingers, tail legs....Kong was a Bandai figure...not much reposing on Kong.
I was going to add fur, but later against it as it puffed him up too much.
Base was left over from The Phantom kit and puttieda plaster rock casting to base, just something to anchor Godzilla's tail.
Also added a smashed pagoda for scale.
Godzilla vs Kong has several kits named appropriately : The Big Swing, The Big Munch, etc.

Cool Bill, what did you use for the figures? Oops I see you answered that already, never mind!

That is why I really liked your name for this, so appropriate.
Also so well executed, build, paint, and composition.
Such a joy to see all the great work showcased in this forum.

Bill,

How tall is the Bandai King Kong.

Bill,

Jeff

Mmmm, Kong is maybe 18cm? Pairs nicely with the Kaiyodo 1962 Godzilla 20cm (8 inches)

[bucketfoot-al]

Yeah, the Bandai Kong is a nice Toho Kong figure (only figure) in that size range ... though his proportions are a little bit off ... I might do some cutting and resculpting with mine ... whenever I get to it ...

Nice work!

Bill,

Did you have to add a filler like resin to the hollow vinyl of Godzilla's tail to anchor it to the base and also so it could act as a counterweight to the Kong he is kicking?

I love these kitbashes. It is great to see a different take on the battle. Great concept and execution!

Hi Jeff...thanks for asking...I added Aves epoxy putty inside the tail,and when it hardened, pinned it to the resin base.
There are so many cool scenes from King Kong vs Godzilla....I have almost two shelves worth now.
