Update to my windup godzilla project

March 9, 2005 1:17 PM

There was a request or two in my original question for an update about where to find bulk wind up godzillas.

I wanted to create an army of godzilla brides for my wedding reception this Saturday. They will be lined up on a table displaying the seating cards. I've posted some pictures here.

Thank you everyone who had suggestions. They were very helpful. I love my army so much, I don't want to give them away...

If you don't mind saying, how much did they cost in total?

Wouldn't this be more appropriate in metatalk? Though this is certainly awesome.

I wasn't sure where to post an update. I thought it made more sense to post an update in the original forum. But, if I'm wrong, go ahead and shame and ridicule me... ;)

The total cost for everything was probably around $250ish with all the supplies and stuff.

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with the way they came out.

Well I'll be damned.

and slapped.

Sorry. Don't know why I thought you were a guy. Probably the "kris" in your name. Kudos to you then for having the sense of humor!

I was hoping you were the bride!! YOU have a great sense of humour.

BTW, there was a show in Canada called Bridezilla on the Life network... about Women Who Plan (their weddings) Too Much. Most enjoyable. I was one of them, once...

Very cool. I don't blame you for wanting to keep them. But where would you put them? Unfortunately, I think you'd lose a lot of the impact if you only kept a couple. Maybe a dozen? :)

(what does the groom get? Mothra? A giant preying mantis? A vorpal bunny?)

Those pictures are RAD. And I thought I had inventive favors at my reception.

BTW, I do think this is supposed to go in MeTa, as it is technically about Ask MeFi, not a question in and of itself.

I left you a comment on flickr, but, yeah, this is great.
