In 「Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack」 (2001), Ghidorah begins with its wings folded against its body, similar to a bird. After being revitalized by Mothra's energy and becoming King Ghidorah, its wings unfold to their full size.

Toho requested that director Takao Okawara include Minilla in 「Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II」 (1993), but he opted to introduce a new monster instead. Shinji Nishikawa designed Baby Godzilla with the philosophy that it resembled an infant Godzillasaurus rather than Godzilla.

Megalon's design was inspired by the traits of several different types of insects. Special effects director Teruyoshi Nakano stated that its face was based on the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, its body on cicadas, and its movements on grasshoppers.

Megaguirus begins life as a Giant Meganulon. After the Meganula swarm infuses it with Godzilla's stolen energy, it molts into its imago stage and becomes Megaguirus. Godzilla's energy causes it to take on more reptilian, Godzilla-like features.

A focal point in the publicity around 「The Return of Godzilla」 (1984) was the 16 foot tall, 1.2 ton full Godzilla animatronic, dubbed "Cybot Godzilla." Prominently featured in marketing and on the film's main poster, it was relegated mostly to close up shots in the film itself.

The Cybot Godzilla's design differed from the suit which was primarily used to portray the monster, notably possessing a larger head, shorter neck, and slimmer body. As a result, Godzilla 1984 figures specifically based on the Cybot have been produced.

Gorosaurus was modeled by Nobuyuki Yasumaru, who would go on to succeed Teizo Toshimitsu as Toho's chief modeler. A balloon was placed inside the suit to create throat movements. The mechanism to open its mouth made the head so heavy that it needed to be attached to piano wire.

「Godzilla vs. Megaguirus」 (2000) begins by showing Godzilla's initial 1954 attack on Tokyo. This was depicted by both compositing shots of the new Godzilla suit into footage from the original 「Godzilla」 (1954) as well as recreating shots from that film with the new suit.

The shot of Godzilla approaching the National Diet Building did not reuse footage from the original film, but rather composited footage of Godzilla and flames into on-location footage of a 1:25 scale model of the building from the Tobu World Square theme park.

Destoroyah uses micro-oxygen to dissolve and feed upon other creatures. This is not only for sustenance, as Destoroyah also absorbs genetic material from its prey and uses this to fuel its evolution. By doing this to Godzilla Junior, Destoroyah evolved into its Perfect Form.

In the Showa era, Hedorah's Flying Stage propels itself through the air by expelling a deadly sulfuric acid mist. The Millennium version of Hedorah instead expels this mist directly from a tube on the front of its body.

In 「Godzilla Raids Again」 (1955), the Anguirus suit's carapace was originally split into two separate pieces. They were ultimately joined together because they continuously peeled apart during filming. The Osaka port battle was filmed before this, so the effect is still seen.

The Kumonga prop in 「Son of Godzilla」 (1967) was approximately 5 meters long, and required a crew of nearly 20 puppeteers on a beam above the set to operate it. The complexity of the wirework caused filming of the climactic battle between Godzilla and Kumonga to take two days.

For flashback scenes depicting the First Generation Godzilla in 「Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla」 (2002), Shinichi Wakasa's company MONSTERS sculpted a partial replica of the original suit consisting of only an upper body and worn by primary Godzilla suit actor Tsutomu Kitagawa.

The 1997 TV series 「Godzilla Island」 included multiple variants of Mechagodzilla: the Mechagodzilla operated by the heroic G-Guard, a robotic Fake Godzilla used by the Xiliens to frame Godzilla, and the Xiliens' war machine Black Mechagodzilla.
