Ever since the release of the "official" (dunno if it's legit or not), Godzilla 2014 figure, people have been whining...

"HE'S TOO FAT!"- um, EVERY Godzilla is fat! Do you really want a giant toothpick as Godzilla?

 

"HIS TOES ARE TOO STUBBY!"- Do you want Godzilla's toes to break from his immense size and weight?

 

"HIS SPINES ARE TOO SMALL!"- So what? How does that hinder a Godzilla???

 

...

 

Sooo, what you're saying is that your want your Godzilla to look like this:

 

Mmkay.

I agree. And the spines arent that small, as we have seen in the trailer. I like that he is fat, and i love the feet.

I think this is the best design of a Godzilla. And I don't his spines are too small, his feet are kind of cool looking, and He doesn't look fat, he looks muscular.

I agree with you 100% Daikaiju. Keep into consideration some people are never pleased no matter how hard the Director tries.

HAHAHAHA!!!! :D Well said!  I've just about had it up to here with people complaining about what is obveously a great design.  Zilla wasn't Godzilla-ey, enough (a.k.a. AT ALL!), so this movie promised a Godzilla true to the original, but designed with some realistic aesthetics.  And guess what... that's EXACTLY what they did!  That said, here's what I have to say to add to what you already layed out:

#1: Too Fat-skinny Godzilla=not good.  'nuff said.  See the Heisei design, people.  It works.

#2: Stupid Feet-here is one of those realistic aesthetics at work.  A creature that large needs stump-like feet in order to not only move without shattering it's toes, but to hold its massive frame up.  Plus, they don't look bad at all!

#3: Small Spines-not only did the Shodaigoji Godzilla design (from 1954) have smaller spines than most of the future designs, this is another realistic change.  If the spines are an extention of his own spinal chord, like all spined dinosaurs (the Spinosaurus comes to mind) were, than any trauma to them would cause massive spinal damage.  It has been theorized that one reason the Spinosaurs went extinct is because their delicate spines were TOO delicate.  Even falling over could damage them, thereby paralizing or even killing them instantly due to spinal damage.  As we all know, Godzilla does a lot of falling in the movies, which should hurt him quite a bit.  Smaller spines means less damage can be dealt to Godzilla in this film. 

Just the facts, man. :)

I know, but the spines are still comparatively smaller to other Godzilla designs.  Take a look at the poster.  Their bigger than the toy by a substantial margin, but still smaller than the spines of most Godzilla suits.  That's what I was talking about.

Kids can hurt themselves with spikes like the actual Gojira in the films. That's why only collectible items and a few others have the larger sized spikes on it. They put out shortened spikes for kids. Parents won't allow their young kids to get the large sized spikes anyways. Plus, the toy design they released isn't a collectible. So there ya go

Lol i honestly get exactly wat ur saying, but just to correct you im pretty sure people just mean:

Im not trying to be a smartass or anything ok but this is basically what all the whiners want

And besides, its a figure, figures barely ever look relavent to what they look like in movies

I know I wouldn't! :) Super film accurate figures are for adult collectors, not for children.  Especially when they have pointy bits.

I agree but I am one of the people who would like the spines to be bigger.

I think Godzilla's new look is awesome and if I was to design the new Godzilla that's is what I would make him look like.
