Yeah, I don't have reason to believe it's a new head either. I doubt there is any evidence to back that claim up on our page, and I assume it's just a relic from years past when things were checked less. A lot of the suit information needs evaluation, I think.

On the topic of the timeline, I just discovered The Pictorial Book that I mentioned actually gives some dates in regards to shooting.

  • The MosuGoji was created for Mothra vs. Godzilla around January of 1964. Filming on Ghidorah lasted from August to September of that year. The suit was kept on the rooftop of a department store as an attraction thereafter.
  • The MosuGoji was eventually loaned to Tsuburaya who converted it into Gomess and filmed him between February and March of '65.
  • The DaisensoGoji was created and filmed for Invasion of Astro-Monster from September to October of 1965.
  • In May of 1966, the MosuGoji (which had since been deconverted from Gomess) had its head cut off and replaced by the DaisensoGoji's for display at the Ueno Akafudado department store. That's where these images are from.
  • The hybridized Godzilla suit was then sent off to Tsuburaya, who converted it into Jirahs and filmed him in August of '66.
  • Toho then got it back and reattached its head to the DaisensoGoji's body for Ebirah, which filmed from September to October of '66.

So there you go. The timeline on Daisenso is indeed IoAM → Ultraman → EHotD. That would leave us with an in-tact Daisenso and a headless Mosu by the time Ebirah was filming. So did they film the Mosu first with the Daisenso's head still attached, then reattached it to the Daisenso body? Did they dig up the original Mosu head and reattach it to its body (the passage I brought up in my last post mentions something about Gomess' horn being removed, after all)? Or did the Mosu get an entirely new head for those water scenes? Those are the questions I unfortunately don't have answers to (at least for the momenet).
