Rodan design from Godzilla: King of the Monsters leaked?!

Missing the underbelly spikes, can't see the tail. Face looks alright legs are a bit small and the scales and wings look great and acceptably new. Over all pretty cool. Can't complain but where are the trademark belly thorns?

Second look the face is pretty awesome but I hope he has a tail

Looks more like an eagle than a pterodactyl.

Hope it's not. Other than the face, I'm not really feeling the rest.

This design looks great if it is what they ended up going with. I really like the detail in the face, and the sleeker stomach is a nice new addition. the back and wings look great as-well.

If this is real, then I would be fine with it.

I would be ok if this was real. I really like the face. I just hope he has 2 horns on his head like in the Showa and Millennium designs. I wasn't crazy about the 3 horns of the Heisei Rodan.

Honestly, it's pretty cool, but I hope it's not real. I'll be more excited if Rodan looks more like a pterosaur than a bird

godzilla3580 Same here.

I'm digging the bird of prey look here. It's something different for the character, but it keeps the same general idea. I won't be heartbroken if it's fake though.

God this looks awesome.

That thing looks more like a ZU from final fantasy

I'm gonna wait for the reveal of the entire body rather than just a singular pose of it that crops much of the model to make my assessment of it, but I will say that (if this is a true leak) I would be glad they did not go full Pterosaur and make Rodan unrecognizable. Rodan was always a mix of bird and pterosaur in design and this design is certainly representative of that.

Now where is king ghidorah!

Well, at least now we know for certain where rodan is.

Hate this. He looks like a vulture. Not happy if this is anything close to what rodan looks like. He’s not a bird, he’s a pterodactyl. I would take the hiesie version over this. Don’t get me wrong. It looks cool for another monster just not rodan. 

riggzamortis86 Well then, who does it look good for?

"It looks cool for another monster just not rodan."

maybe "the giant claw"? I mean, this design does look like a battleship to me.

^thats exactly what I would say. Haha!

point is that this design looks good for any other type of flying of monster with any other name. But Rodan isn’t a bird. He’s a flying reptile. No feathers. Rodan should look like a pterodactyl. Not a vulture.

exactly and I think he won't have those feathery wings in the final movie. If you look at the picture from the monarch sciences website (the one that looks like a satellite scan) does not have the same wings as this supposed leaked one.

I know it looks like he has feathery wings in the ancient picture drawing, but that is probably an artistic choice to make the drawing look more interesting and accurate to how ancient people used to draw.
