Probably one of the most original, if not THE most original kaiju of the 1970s, the cyborg kaiju Gigan burst into the Godzilla series in 1972's “Godzilla vs. Gigan”. Hook-like hammer claw hands/feet... a single, glowing red eye... a tooth-lined beak... three membranous dorsal wings... buzzsaw abdomen... Gigan is one of the craziest and most interesting looking kaiju Toho has ever created and was portrayed by a young Kenpachiro Satsuma. Besides his design, Gigan also sports a unique color scheme. Ghidorah-like golden scales cover areas or Gigan’s body, neck, and tail, while a light blue color is his main skin color, covering his arms, legs, head, and areas of his body/neck. His wing membranes are also a golden color, but are smooth, not scaled. His hammer claw hands/feet, beak, and horns are all bone-white in color. A second Gigan suit was created and used in 1973's “Godzilla vs. Megalon”. However, this time around the suit was made thinner, less bulky, the horn on the head was less pointed, and the buzzasaw didn't move (being made up of static pieces). This suit also had different sized back fins, a larger eye visor and beak, scales running up the back/sides of the neck, and longer legs compared to the original version. This new suit was also used in the episode of "Zone Fighter" that Gigan appeared in.
