Group selfie!

Even giant robots are not immune to the lure of social media.

Red carpet bonus: Shodaigoji

A special one from the red carpet shoot for you guys: shodaigoji '54, looking pretty badass in charcoal gray! It just goes to show how serious a movie Gojira was when it came out. Little wonder that this guy's career took off like it did.

A buddy pic with John Stamos could be a huge hit, don't you think? Or maybe Maisie Williams?

Gamera's new blockbuster

Roger Corman would be proud. Seriously.

Kaiju on the red carpet!

WOW...looks like somebody in L.A. is holding red carpet events, even in spite of the virus-fueled entertainment lockdown. A bunch of our favorite kaiju recently hit the step-and-repeat for a promotional event for this blog, somewhere in Hollywood! It was great to see Godzilla '54, Gamera, Moguera and even unexpected guest Lunamaria from "Gundam Seed" make it down. Here's a sampling from the carpet:

 

Shodaigoji and Kingugoji getting all chummy.

Gaiking, looking pretty badass in the new armor.

King Ghidorah.

Mechagodzilla head shot.

Kingugoji reacting to fans. He looks to be having a good time.

Gamera, the Guardian of the Carpet.

Shodaigoji, not looking happy at this photographer.

Moguera.

Lunamaria Hawke from Gundam Seed.

OMG, they're doing the shie.

Gaiking gets Shakespearean

Something along the lines of "Alas, poor Yorick" probably applies here, yes?

This is probably the very first time in the history  of the world that a Japanese giant robot has channeled Sir Lawrence Olivier.

Love how the dramatic shadow fills the middle in, and also creates that sense of dark tension. Ken Russell would have loved it. It also sort of looks a bit like Raydeen's shadow, come to think of it.

Variations on a theme

We like the top one the best.

Surfin' After Midnight: how kaiju maintain their underground cred

Looks like the Nineties are back, at least for one night. The only thing missing is the KROQ music in the background. Looking pretty gnarly, actually.

(Yeah, it's a California reference. Look it up.)

No respect for the King

Are any more words really necessary? 😂

 

Actually, one wonders why Toho never allowed Rodan to do this in the first place.
