How MechaGodzilla is built

5.9.2022

造形した安丸信行氏は「手首はスコップの持ち手みたいに中で握る構造で、回したり捻ったりできたんだ」と作りを回想するが、 破李拳氏が入った際は浅く手を入れる 手袋式だったという。 補修の際に、改造または新造されたのかもしれない。

Mr. Nobuyuki Yasumaru, who modeled it, recalls making it, “The wrist has a structure that can be gripped inside like a handle of a shovel, and I could turn and twist it.” It was a ceremony. It may have been remodeled or newly built during the repair.
