I loved the design when the movie first came out. And then I slowly began to appreciate the Japanese Godzilla more and joined the whole "Zilla" boat. I would buy a figure if it was as articulated as it needs to be.

Beyond the legs, the crucial aspects of a MA Zilla would be the feet and ankles.

Zilla (the actual monster... so to speak) has very large feet with heel spurs, much like a Tyrannosaurus or Allosaurus. As we have seen with Transformers toys since the Beast era, if you have a stiff ball joint on the ankle and then large feet and heel spurs, you can support top heavy designs well. So the keystone is that ankle joint. You make that sturdy, and you can support te sauropod stance he walks with.

Along similar lines of thought, I hope that if we ever get an Anguirus or especially a Baragon, I'd like the see the jointing be flexible enough but retain the necessary sturdiness to go from quadrapedal or bipedal and back. This would not be a deal breaker for me on Anji but on Baragon you'd better believe it.
