    Mothra, Queen of the Monsters!!

    Went a little cutesy on this one and wanted it to look more like a suit actor instead of a puppet.

          I agree with everyone. That is a great figure. You always have great details and I like your original interpretations. Bravo

              Very cool, another grand slam winner love those wings, but please no twin fairies…could not stand them and that annoying song Motheraaaaaaa, always hoped Godzilla would have stepped on them.

              Some tidbit info, in Japan they were called the Peanuts, so if Godzilla stepped on them they would have been called peanut butter.

                  Cool Mothra. Has a bit of komainu vibe to it. Very nice. I also really like the take that it is representing an actor.

                    Man, had to keep going back to the wings! Striking deco. Is that paint? At first glance, it looked like some sort of elaborate woven work. Nice job!

                    Really enjoying the design liberties you've taken with all of these! Good stuff, as always!

                    (I would not have been able to resist sneaking in some subtle reference to the fairies, perhaps on a half-demolished billboard. You're a stronger man than I!)

                        They were a singing duo called the Peanuts and played the twins for the first 3 Showa era movies they appeared. Different actresses played them in Ebirah. I love the mythology built up around Mothra and the Shobijin, its a good counterpoint to Godzilla being a monster of science gone wrong.
