While touring Japan with G-TOUR in 2004, we visited the exhibit and I shot a video of it. The two accompanying photos are snapshots from the video (Hi8 format). It was said to be the Mechagodzilla suit from Terror of Mechagodzilla.
According to Wikipedia:
Terror of Mechagodzilla, (released in Japan as Counterattack of Mechagodzilla (メカゴジラの逆襲 Mekagojira no Gyakushū )) is a 1975 Japanese science fiction kaiju film produced by Toho. Directed by Ishirō Honda and featuring special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano, the film starred Tomoko Ai, Gorō Mutsumi, and Akihiko Hirata. This film was the 15th and final film in the original series of Godzilla films, before the series reboot in 1984.
A thread on old monster suits was started at the Classic Horror Film Board forum and I made these snapshots to post there. But here they are for your viewing pleasure.
