Quoted from dpannell:

Thanks everyone for the interest and feedback/suggestions. I have a development update.
- Movements updated. Head and body now moving more slowly/realistic.
- New trigger added. When the bridge coil fires, Godzilla sprays the bridge with his atomic breath. The head/LED moves along the length of the bridge.
- A 2nd unit has been built. It will be installed soon on local machine to validate the install process.
I've updated the videos in the first post to show the new movements and the bridge motion. I have updated the wait list with everyone who posted here or sent me a PM. I should be able to start building the first batch(5 units) in the next week.

Any insight into list order/size and cost?

Thank you all for the continued interest. It's taken longer than I'd hoped, but I'm almost done with the first batch of 5. Also, I've added a link to the latest user list in the opening post. If I missed anyone, please let me know via PM.

They look really great! I'm curious, are you using servos inside the body for the movement?

Thanks

What triggers are being used? Could we choose others?

#69 1 year ago

Curious why Godzilla's spines are red? Would it be more in theme if they were blue?

I have some blue Fire leds behind my neca godzilla that are triggered by the godzilla magnet grab. It looks good and almost makes sense visually. I've been thinking of clipping the neca spines and adding blue ones to light but didn't want to risk it.

I'm not a Godzilla trivia expert, but a google search says he is charcoal gray. I do find it curious that the artwork on the game has him a "lizard green" even though he is a gray color in the video clips. Some of the old movies were black and white, maybe they were colorized later. In any case, this particular model was the only one I could find that would fit in the game and work with what I wanted to do. So that is the real reason he is this color.

Quoted from digitaldocc:

There are 2 triggers each having a different combination of body/head movements and LED patterns. The videos in the first post show each one. The building collapse mode triggers when the building moves up and down. The bridge collapse mode triggers when the bridge coil fires. That is how it works currently. Maybe I could add additional triggers as an option if it makes sense.

Many people say that they don't ever see moving mods in games because they are playing. I think the building(multiball) trigger is particularly effective for the player since there is nothing to do while you wait for the balls to drop.

#74 1 year ago

If your consider adding a few(two or three) extra optional 5v triggers I'm sure some of the more adventurous modders would appreciate it.

We appreciate all your hard work put into this.

#75 1 year ago

The Marvel comics had him lizard green. That’s were I believe the color scheme was pulled from.

Just installed. What an awesome mod! The instructions were clear and support is fantastic. I really like how GZ turns towards the building when it collapses, but I like how his breath runs the length of the bridge even more.

Fantastic job dpannell !!!

I finally got my Godzilla Premium and now it's time to install this incredible mod.

I'm sorry, I couldn't live with the pink splines, so I painted mine.

Pic attached.

I have to find the installation instructions and after I get it installed, I will post a few more pics.

Hey DP.

I looked everywhere and don't have a website or link to get to the install instructions. Can you post a link on your 1st post for everyone?

Let me know as I am waiting to install this right now.

Edit: Hey Dan, I found the install link in our PM chat. Thanks. Still may be a good idea to pin that link to your first post.

Gonna get started right now. Thanks.

#93 11 months ago

Hello Pinfidel,

Glad to hear that you finally got your game. That paint job looks great! Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions. Thanks!

So, I got my Godzilla painted and all hooked up and my word is this thing AWESOME!!!

This is an absolute must add. In fact, this thing is so awesome, Stern should've contracted dpannell to make these for them, and they should've been included on the LE and made as an available option for premium owners.

I can't say enough good things about how great this mod is. The light in the mouth is so cool too, cause you can see it blast off the bridge and building, like it's his heat ray. LOVE THAT!

The install took me an hour and 45 minutes. It was very straight forward. Nothing difficult at all, and the directions make it very easy to understand and follow what to do.

All I can say is thanks for doing this and making it available dp. I couldn't be happier with it. Love it and highly recommend it to everyone, especially over the abomination/joke of a Godzilla toy Stern chose. #MustHave!

Here's a few pics. I also took a quick video, but it won't let me add it. Can someone tell me how to get it into the right file format to upload for everyone to see? Thanks.

I don't think you can add a video to a post. People upload to youtube, then link them. You could do a .gif but you will need a converter to do that. It would probably be easier to just upload to youtube.
