Megaro (1973)
Monster against monster for the lost continent of Mu!
This suit can be seen in these movies:
- Godzilla vs Megalon (1973)
A strong contender with the Musuko-Godzilla for the Worst Godzilla Suit award!
The Megaro-Godzilla had a plain, streamlined body, a short neck and fat, simply designed dorsal plates. The face was ghastly, with a sinlple muzzle, oversized brows and huge eyes that made the King of the Monsters resemble a puppy. The eyes of the Megaro-Godzilla were movable and had movable eyelids. The Megaro-Godzilla also appeared in five of the 26 episodes of NTV’s Ryusei Ningen Zone (a.k.a. Zone Fighter) television series in 1973 (see “The Lost Godzilla Episodes”).
