MemberBaragonFeb-18-2014 7:58 AMregarding to a recent topic about the godzilla and biollante sculptures that chris picard shared with us and then was asked to take them down due to studio's request, i have definitive proof that they were most likly legit. How can i have such information? well, this is a little piece of information that i overlooked out of g-fan magzine#101 as well and was schocked to find. Here is another quote from hector arce again that i have.
G-FAN: your biollante is quite amazing what inspired you to redesign it?
HECTOR ARCE: thank you! biollante was part of a project i was assigned at school. I was in advanced sculpting at the time, in Mr. RUSS McMILLIAN'S class at EL CAMINO COLLEGE, and he gave me an assignment to make something about three feet in height. He told me to work with another student in the class, and lucky for me, the other student was also a godzilla fan. So we decided on redesigning biollante and having it as a part of a battle with my redesigned godzilla. The sculpture is huge, so at the time, i sculptured it with fellow classmate ernie galvez. We knew we had to stay true to the source material and keep it within it natural element, that way people can say oh you know that is king ghidorah or that's varan. So we really just wanted to have fun with it.
i am a firm believer now that both of these gentlemen have been working with legendary from the get-go and might be responsible for the godzilla design in this new film.
so how about you guys? despite them being taken down due to studio's request do you all think that they were legit? feel free to comment

Also, that Russell McMillin just so happens to have his own website, and on that website, he has a section named Creature Shop Projects.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-18-2014 6:31 PMBIGBADBEN... The sculptures were never legit.
They're on google right now, and the evidence that they are not legit is right in the quote you provided. They were part of a college project. Just because they belong to someone who's involved with Legendary doesn't make them anything that pertains to the new film. They're cool, no arguemnts, but not "legit" to the new film.

That was one of the problems last week; the leaked footage was taken down before Legendary requested it. And as it turns out, they never did request it, because the leak was fake.
