Ok well I’m sure that plenty of people have written papers about Godzilla. It’s fairly well known that Godzilla was Japan’s answer to the Nuclear Bomb. As the only country to ever go through a nuclear holocaust Japan has a unique perspective and used that perspective to show the horrors of nuclear war through the vehicle of the Godzilla series. Godzilla, himself, is an avatar for the nuclear bomb. Knowing…

This year Godzilla Momma was delighted to receive S. H. Monster Arts accessories for some of her Godzilla toys. This was very exciting as the ghost of Christmas past brought the Godzilla 2000 Godzilla and Final Wars Gigan. The Ghost of Christmas Present also brought the S. H. Monster Arts Destroyah Evolution set. So what started with a couple of toys a year ago has now become an amazing battle…

This review was originally posted on The Geek Girl Project but with the holidays fast approaching I wanted to repost it here. I always seem to think of the people I’ve lost during the holidays and this year is no exception. So here is my review of Pacific Rim and a little story about why I love Kaiju, and especially Godizlla, so much. Imagine a middle class home in a…

Because nothing says Christmas more than watching all of the Godzilla movies back to back, starting on Christmas Eve. Ok so maybe not. A Godzilla marathon over Christmas is a bold move. I have all of the Godzilla movies and it never occurred to me to inflict the entire run on my loved ones at Christmas. Still…I’m tempted. If one of my loved ones had put on a Godzilla marathon…

Shin Godzilla/Godzilla Resurgence

First, despite my excitement about a new Toho produced Godzilla, as far as I have been able to find, there is no US release date as of the time of this publishing. I eagerly await the US release. Also the nerdverse appears to have had mixed feelings about the new Godzilla design. It’s not as clean and, dare I say, pretty looking as some of the latest Godzillas. But I…

In the article about SHMA King Ghidorah, Mecha King Ghidora was mentioned and felt kind of tacked on. But the SHMA Mecha King Ghidorah really deserves its own article. It’s a gorgeous piece. The piece stands 25 cm tall (around 10 inches Imperial) and has ball joints in the neck and tail for maximum freedom in posing. Also the clever use of die cast metal makes it really look authentic….

Recently I had the distinct privilege of interviewing Sean McGuinness A.K.A. That Godzilla Guy. So without further adieu: Have you always found yourself creating art? -I have always been artistic, but mostly bored drawing lightning bolts and Veritech fighters in the margins of my notes during school. I have a lot of creative energy and art is a constructive outlet. Have you had any formal training? -I’ve taken a few…

Zone Fighter, A Little Known Toho Production

December 4, 2015

Because GodzillaMomma is about all things Godzilla and Kaiju, but especially Godzilla it is time to talk about an obscure little television series called Zone Fighter. More directly translated Meteor Human Zone, Zone Fighter was Toho’s answer to Ultraman. When I first discovered this show existed the first thing that popped into my head was, “How could i have not known about this?” My grandmother was our family’s first Godzilla…
