Toho Suit 13

MogeGoji (1994)

When G-cells Entered a Black Hole the Ultimate Fighting Creature was Born!
This suit can be seen in these movies:

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla

The 1994 Godzilla costume was perhaps the best proportioned of the Godzilla suits since Godzilla vs. Biollante. Featuring a stocky, triangular build, broad shoulders and heavy legs, the 1994 Godzilla combined the best featured of the 1992 and 1993 suits.  The neck of the 1994 suit was quite wide at the shoulders and featured much less pronounced ribbing.The face of this costume was basically the same as the 1992 and 1993 costumes. The head of the 1994 Godzilla could fully rotate independently of the body. However, this new feature was barely seen in the final film, perhaps because it caused a visible fold in the nape of costume’s neck.

Air duct

The suit also has an air duct to allow Kenpachiro Satsuma to breathe more freely, enabling him to stay inside the costume for longer periods of time.

Eyes

The eyes of the 1994 Godzilla appeared bigger than those of the previous suits, while the white areas of the eyes become more pronounced, thus giving this suit a slightly less menacing expression than its predecessors.

Rotating Head

For this film, the Godzilla suit was equipped for the first time ever with a mechanism allowing the head to move not only up and down, but also from side to side — an effect repeated over and over throughout the movie.
