Japanese special effects studio Tsuburaya Productions had leaked a video showing a test run of their Gomora suit. It stands 10 feet tall, shrieks and spits steam. It's just OK because, let's face it, unless we're talking GOOZIRRA!!!-big it's just some dude in a rubber suit dicking around in a parking lot. The part I love is that despite these "special effects" experts going to the trouble of making Gomora's eyes glow and creating pretty stellar tail articulation, we can see the black spandex-clad thighs/moose knuckle of homie in/around the suit which is maybe the bootleggiest, broke-assest thing ever.

I have always been less-than-dazzled by The Seven Foot Samurai.
I expect to see Kimora any time.
kimora would be great. except the materials for her Michelin neck wrinkles are prohibitively costly.
You're calling this all broke-ass, but do you have a better Halloween costume?
Tsuburaya is no Toei, I am sorry.
"Their mascot is the cat Pero, from the company's 1969 film adaptation of Puss in Boots."
Hey that's just the animation arm! Also, I now have the Jetman theme song stuck in my head for the rest of the week.
OMG they did SAINT SEIYA as well?!!! Oh man I remember when we used to buy the Bandai toys but sometimes they wouldn't be the cool Japanese ones, they'd be the Taiwanese acrylic copies and we would cry and cry. And by we I mean me and my brother and our dorky dorky thoughts.
OH MAN those knock-offs! So disappointing. But they were always at, like, flea markets and farmers markets for a quarter the price; how could a parent resist?
OK I needs me a charter membership in the I'm a Gigantic Fruit with a Crush on Mary HK Choi fan club.
Perfect!
Damn, give that thing a M134 minigun and send it into Pakistan to find Osama Bin Laden!
