That's what I've been saying the whole time! Thank you for this post, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this.

I just have two things to say

Danielle- your original post made me laugh my butt off! It's so true too!

Mrawesomeness360- your user name = so much win

My only question Daikaiju is, what makes you think your opinion is better than others who disagree to the point where you title your post "STOP WHINING"?

I liked the Godzilla figure, I thought it was a good desigh, and I give it a 9/10.

@JORDAN SWICKARD People have been complaing about the feet and spines so much that it's getting ANNOYING! People don't have the right to whine about the new design. They should be happy that we're even getting a new Godzilla film and the monster actually looks like Godzilla! Go watch 1998 Godzilla if you love it so much!

I too think this latest permutation of the big guy is quite awesome.  I have the 90's Godzilla on my computer desk, and he is a chunky fella!  

@KAIJUUFIN Don't have a right? Um I'm sorry but how do the people who are going to go pay to see this, and help finance this not have a right not complain? Sorry but they are most definitely the ones who have the most right to complain. If some1 doesnt like it they should say, oh well at least it's something and move on? No, if you have a problem with a design you should state what's wrong with it and make it known that you see there are problems. How else would anything get fixed?

I've been watching Godzilla since my birth, I have a right to voice what I think, don't like it, cry about it. Go watch 1998 godzilla again? More like piss on it. You have no right to sit here and  voice down the opinions of others just because you agree. I have a voice, I have an opinion, I can say what the fuck I want to say. Pretty much end of story. My simple question was, why does he think the entire fandom of Gojira is wrong just because they voice what they think to the point he calls them out and tells them to stop whining. No one is whining but you guys because people voice themselves. Get over it, welcome to the Fandom of Godzilla where we can voice what we want and be heard. I also never said I disagreed with what he said, just sticking up for the ones who do disagree.

Now with that being said

Just leaving my usual opinion on the subject over here:

I find the negative reactions to be very funny because the naysayers are basing their opinions about Godzilla's new design on a very simplified toy made for little kids, toy's for kids don't even have enough details and are just produced for the sole purpose of becoming commercial tie in products to promote the movie when it releases. If they are basing your opinion on a single image then it seems that they've missed some of the previous leaks such as this one:

Every Godzilla figure is produced on a different quality and comparing a simple toy to the actual CGI product (that we will be watching in the final film) is just wrong because they're basing their entire perspective on something that will never resemble the final character with enough accuracy, just like this other toy:

Anyways, I will probably never make anyone reflect on this and they will probably dismiss this comment just as they always do, we are dealing with very dogmatic fans here and dogmatic people are never open to change so they never accept new things because their views on X subject are very rigid and therefore (according to them) they can't be wrong but others must be wrong: "Godzilla has to look like this...", "A Godzilla movie must look like the Heisei series...".

All I can bet is that if this movie was produced by Toho all naysayers would be praising the new design and claiming it to be a smart movement on the part of Toho to introduce the King to new generations.

THE SPINES ON THAT TOY ARE SMALL BECAUSE ITS A TOOOOOY. T-O-Y TOY

i know what peeps want, they want a variation of GODZILLA 2000, that type with a variation of the current GODZILLAS head omg, but im not complaining, this is the first movie, they can mutant him more in the next movie, bring this shit and give them MAAAASSSIVE amounts of money so they can come out with another one and peeps will make more giant monster movies, its time for beasts to make a breatk back into the movie world.
