BatoGoji

BatoGoji (バトゴジ) is the Godzilla suit used in Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth

Detail
The build of the BatoGoji suit was thinner than the BioGoji/GhidoGoji suit, which gave this costume a sleek, sturdy but less powerful image than the previous 1990’s vintage Godzilla suits. For the BatoGoji, the arrangement of the dorsal plates was changed and the largest plate was located in the middle of the back. The legs were less bulky than the legs of the BioGoji/GhidoGoji costumes. The arms were jointed with more flexibility at the biceps. The face was essentially the same as the BioGoji/GhidoGoji suits, though the BatoGoji suit featured new attributes: a smaller, flat forehead, golden eyes and a thick neck with pronounced ribbing. The golden eyes made the face of the BatoGoji look more expressive than the BioGoji/GhidoGoji suits, yet also compromised the more realistic, animal-like expression of the latter suits. The size of the teeth also appeared smaller than the BioGoji/GhidoGoji suits. The BatoGoji suit also included a new feature; by means of an electronic device the head could tilt up or down independently of the body.
