I just did some brief research and there's quite a bit to this subject,so feel free to add anything to this post. I found a video that narrates the evolution of the first Toho Godzilla costume with the use of behind the scenes studio pics. The video is very informative but it moves along slowly. If you can get used to the videos slow pace its actually kinda interesting. It's about 13 minutes long. I also found an article on the evolution of most of the Toho Godzilla costumes throughout the decades. Interestingly,the most common trait with some of the costumes is they could be very difficult to perform in with most performers passing out from time to time. The first Godzilla costume was very inflexible and could only be worn for a few minutes before the performer overheated. The inside of the suit was known to reach a temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit when worn :o [url=http://youtu.be/yfSARjZ0OXc]First Godzilla suit documentary[/url] And an article on Godzilla costumes over the years: [url=http://www.historyvortex.org/GodzillaEvolution.html]Toho Godzilla evolution article[/url] [IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z292/djrees_2007/Godzilla_zps6797cfdc.jpg[/IMG]
