Gauging Interest : Godzilla 2000 Bust Project - Nightmaresetc - 12-03-2009
I have went through and tallied up the material cost to build the suit and I'm sorry to say that this probably won't happen. The cheapest I could possibly do a suit would be $15K and in this economy I just can't see people having that much extra to spend. Sorry guys there is just no way around the cost as I have really tried. How about a Head & Neck Silicone or Latex bust ? If multiple persons wanted to go in on a commission for me to do that the cost would be substantially lower, somewhere in the neighborhood of $3500 - $4K. That total cost would be split X amount of ways depending on how many want to get in on the project. I was leaning more towards the Godzilla 2000 look as I have exclusive pics of the screen used head.

I would need to get 5 interested people @ $700 per person to get this project off the ground. Anymore than 5 people and the cost per person goes down. I can cast this in either silicone or latex.Thanks,Conor

I'm heartbroken. I was picturing my basement as a little Tokyo, with cardboard buildings. I was going to have my brothers film me trashing the city, crushing GI JOE tanks and swatting remote contol planes and helicopters out of the air.There has to be Godzilla costumes out there. Some how, some way, i will own one...but $15,000 is slightly astronomical.

Honestly, 15k for a full body Godzilla suit is worth it, you have to remember the amount of clay used and latex and all the work that goes into it. You can spend 15k for the suit, but trashing an entire city is priceless.

I'm really sorry. The supplies alone would cost over 10K and then you have to figure sculpting time, molding, casting, seaming, finishing. Normally I would charge a movie studio $30K. I really wanted to do this but obviously couldn't justify the cost to the collectors
