Hey Odin great work like always can you maybe try to do Ezra Miller’s Flash cowl from zack Snyder’s justice league!!!!! Thanks

Sick bulid and a better intro keep it up odin love the work

I'm new to your channel but you haven't made a master chief.

Will be interesting to hear what Odin thinks of the "New" Mecha godzilla.

I need a gif of Odin spinning the mechagodzilla head with childish glee. It gives me life😂

@@OdinMakes Hi Odin! Just wanted to say I've been really enjoying your livestreams! I think your Mechagodzilla project is absolutely incredible. I'm in awe with how much work goes into creating something like this and just wanted to say how much I appreciate your skills. Absolutely amazing. I'm going to be looking forward to seeing your future episodes, what you do really is visual ASMR!

[@ShuTheIdiot]

Imagine going to a con, seeing an amazing mechagodzilla costume and he's just talking props and whatnot in a rather soothing voice.

[@MonkeMan003]

That would be so fucking cool

This is by far the coolest cosplay build ever! I am overrun with nostalgia right now. Odin, you are truly gifted!

[@wyattdillard]

*7:36* Complete craftsman happiness..

[@KaijuRamen54]

Seeing the mouth and head move really brings the whole thing to life in a way I wasn’t fully expecting. Awesome work!

[@AgnikoFireking]

We finally got Odin's puppet time!

[@DannyMcHugh]

YESSSSSS. That neck and jaw movement is so satisfying

[@randdmoore1]

With your face exposed in the neck portion you look like Man E Faces from He-Man. I love it lol

[@DO4M]

A Man E Faces helmet build with rotating faces would be cool to see... nudge nudge wink wink.

[@schrikeiv]

I was thinking Ram -Man.... that's funny that we both went there ....well if he gets tired of mechagodzilla he could easily modify it... Got some options....

[@dangerdude991]

You ought to wear this suit in every video from here on out. Talking Mecha-Odin is too good.

[@blizatrex]

I can just imagine people interviewing Mechagodzilla at conventions. A ben Pace interview would be awesome.

[@splonko9788]

The outro for the last part of this series should be “But *this* is how Odin makes!” *Rotate hand from vertical to horizontal and put a missile shooting the camera in after effects*

[@ThatMarvelNerd]

I love how goofy Odin can get in these videos. You can tell that he really enjoys working on these projects, and I'm glad I get to see them every Wednesday. Stay goofy, Odin! See you next week!

[@FEARisCOLD]

The talking looked great.

[@XilienCommanderYoutube]

Nice I have been updating mine! Mechagodzilla 2021

[@OdinMakes]

Sweet!

[@AgentLema]

You could make soooooo many looping gifs out moments from this episode

[@neil666akashikamaru]

Was expecting legs!! This was pretty great though 👍

[@JMMF698]

16:08 looks like mecha presenting the news or something, i need a show of mecha just talking about stuff😂 looks so awsome

[@Gojirawars03]

So, that one Godzilland segment?

[@Mu-podcast]

Your moving mouth and head for Mecha-G gives me a desire to see him do an MST3K commentary.

[@MrTheMighty]

Hahahaaa! Yes! The head and mouth movement add so much life to the costume! Also, the movement reminds me of Crow T. Robot for some reason.

[@TopHatGent]

That is awesome, reminding me of going cross country in our family's mini van, with a cheesy little vhs tv player and us kids watching Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla!

[@RSpudieD]

WOW! This is turning out so good! The mouth movement is great and seeing you spin the head around....priceless!

[@iidensama]

Seeing the head talk for the first time was hilarious and amazing. Well done.

[@joehayward4545]

It moves, but I didn't see the force field.lol Very awesome job. Can't wait to see the whole piece done.

[@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305]

wow.... never thought I would see Mechagodzilla just like, casually talk. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one!

[@OdinMakes]

Up next Mechagodzilla: the talk show!

[@tee_2d582]

I really want to see this done! Good work!

[@townsville69]

The epicness level of this build keeps climbing over 9000.

[@RichardBousquet]

Mecha godzilla talking is the funniest thing I've seen today 😂😂

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Today on Mechagodzilla makes Odin: Hee, hee looks excellent and I was wondering how the lazy susan was going to make controlling the direction of the head a problem but it seemed to come out alright. Maybe include a speaker and soundbox in the head to add a controllable sound effect roar for effect?

[@orangehorn1423]

I love how geeky Odin can get when he makes something he likes and it works! He just looks so happy it even makes me happy. Odin is a gift to prop maker community honestly

[@undergoji6087]

finally! i've found someone with the same idea for a jaw mechanism! i've been wanting to build a godzilla suit for ages, and this exact method is what i came up with

[@steelbeans]

I loved you talking at the end, very funny

[@archierm]

Oh my God, your voice will always be my "inner-monologue" voice for Mechagodzilla.

[@neonnerd1364]

Every time I see this build it gets better and better.

[@michaelgoodwin80]

I had flashbacks from Mystery Science Theater 3000 with MechaGodzilla

[@williambrown6185]

Id wouldve been happy where it was. But Odin goes above and beyond. attention to detail makes or breaks art.

[@NEIQVD]

But THIS... is how Odin Makes. *looks to corner of screen* (mechagodzilla) **sees ad in 5, 4** :O (ad plays)

[@airmanaw3]

I had a good laugh when you got the hay working. Just sending mechagodzilla talk was priceless

[@Teleflexx]

Odin...is a big kid at heart...I wish I could live a eternal childhood. I hope he does something from Speed Racer sometime.

[@MondayKnight92]

this was so awesome i cant wait for the next part

Hey Odin I Am Wondering Are You Gonna Do The botton of Mechagodzilla's body With The Legs And Tail?

[@afg122602]

that looks so crazy with it talking. "looks great" is an understatement.

[@Gurbo8]

When you think about it, Mechagodzilla's head is just the world's most intricate sockpuppet

[@gonzaler99]

Every time I see that giant sword on the wall, with the eye, I always imagine you making it blink.

[@jonathanweesner478]

Least amount of Destructive Changes, aka Work. Great video Odin! Love to see the problem solving that goes into a lot if your props.

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Johnathan!

[@ludonymous526]

This is extremely appropriate, considering the release of "Godzilla vs. Kong".

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

Finding that aluminum lazy Susan was an incredible find!

[@MrFTW]

Man, the fun you are having with this build is contagious!

[@sum1liteamatch]

I always like to mention, whenever Odin forgets to, that Sintra is a sign board. If you go to a sign company you will likely be able to get it for cheap and they may even give you some scraps

[@radeon5006]

Ahahahaha..This has been epic. Love the talking feature. Maybe run the string through a hollow rod down the side of the face so its not directly on your face. But still very cool !

[@MrJPG7]

7:36 Odin is like reliving what it's like to be a kid when he gets a new toy he saw on TV

[@gojifan1785]

it's weird that mechagodzilla spins he's head to make a force-field and of course it's a crazy 1970s movie

[@humppapappa]

Do you plan to make the hands spin aswell?

[@HankMcMacOReily]

this is phenomenal craftsmanship, you are a true artist

[@ReconWarrior26]

Great video and really cool how these updates work so well! One idea so the cord doesn't go down the center of your face, maybe when the cord gets to the top of your head, it splits in two, and then the two ends attach to the far ends of the chin cup. So then it sits on the sides of your head and might not feel as awkward. But as it stands, really cool!

[@dragonball3166]

Like how Odin is optimistic there will be comic cons in future if things go back to normal be maskless good build

[@nathanalaneller]

IDEA: Since you don't have any articulating fingers & your just holding on to a bar in the arm. Why not use a bike brake or a tube with string leading up from your arm to the head?

[@Ironlantern723]

That helmet was giving me strong Crow T. Robot vibes. Which is awesome.

[@randomwordz76]

Awesome use of that lazy Susan. It was great seeing it all come together.

[@omegamecha7666]

Does it come equipped with rainbow laser eyes?

[@soldierofchaos8552]

This made me even more hyped for the movie! Gonna get to watch it tomorrow. Thank you for the video! I can't tell you how many times I've binge watched your videos. I must've seen every video going back to DIY prop shop like atleast 7 or 8 times

[@DarrinCalvinRoenfanz]

The articulation of the head and mouth came out so well! Top notch video as always.

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Darrin!

[@danielbickford3458]

If you don't mind a suggestion, my I suggest that you cut the cord coming down to your face short splice in a pair of cords or a single cord folded / tied into AV to the two straps would then bracket your face before heading to the chin cup. I'm unsure exactly how well this would work but it would keep the cable off the middle of your face.

[@josephstanley975]

That is hilarious when he talks and the mouth moves on mecha Godzilla 's head

[@malicousdolphin9430]

My god this gets more impressive each time I see it amazing work.

[@pilummurialis6490]

Another tip for the jaw, you can have a Y strap lock system so that the cords are to the sides of your chin plate, instead of in your face directly that will annoy you, seeing this idea though, is actually perfect, cause I can use it for other designs!

[@gravitywithoutcontext]

This is really helping me with figuring out how to make the jaw move on my own Godzilla rubber suit

[@origamininja380]

This bionic monster cosplay looks awesome, you should cosplay the cosmic monster next odin.

[@zrlim1404]

Hey Odin, here is a prop suggestion: The sword or the dragon gem from Disney’s Raya and The Last Dragon.

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

Seeing the head improved like this and seeing the mouth move finally is kinda magical. This is turning out amazing Odin. I love this build, it’s just so cool. There are two props I’ve always wanted to make myself, but have no clue how to make them without motors or other electronics and I thought maybe you’d be the best person to try them out in a possible future video. The first is a “functional” web shooter, meaning it can shoot and then retract and reload itself. I made something similar with a wind up dog leash, but you have to throw your arm out and can’t just point and shoot. The other is Daredevil’s Billy club grappling hook. Not sure if that one is possible, but it would be so cool if it is

[@grassh0pperunit]

The lower neck part and upper torso would make a good Ram-Man costume.

[@AlphaProto]

Excellent work! The lazy susan really did the trick. Very good idea with the mouth function.

[@tinfly27]

that is going to be the most badass portable sauna in the world.

[@hyperguyver2]

The joys of simple puppetry

[@bumble_24bee34]

Will you be doing the lower body soon

[@taqresu5865]

I hope you find a way to achieve the head spin function while keeping the rest of your puppeteering mechanics. Because that is a very neat function.

[@mhxistenz]

That was some ingenious engineering. Kudos!

[@schrikeiv]

Anyone else think he looks like Ram -Man from Masters of the universe without the head on.... I guess if you get tired of Godzilla you've got some options.... Looking good👍

[@khklay]

That is so trippy and cool.

[@gryphonphillips5669]

Eva unit 01 is pretty interesting in concept.

[@MooseEgg1]

Do you think kiryu would be a possible build in the future?

[@phantomthao1514]

That would be dope

[@terriwhyte8064]

i love this build, also like how you show it's not perfect out of the gate and you do have to go back and make modifications, keep the fine videos coming

[@rbuschy]

this is pure awesome, gives me an Alf feel

[@zboi4859]

That's awesome! It's all come together really well!

[@davepainter2070]

Absolutely genius Odin. Great upgrade and seeing the jaw move made my day 😀

[@BenjiSun]

you looks so giddy spinning that head. (both times!) lol. love your enthusiasm!

[@nicolastremblay9471]

Really awesome seeing all the puppetry work coming together in this cool cosplay! Here's a suggestion regarding the string in the middle of your face: instead of having a single string attached to middle of the chin piece, why not have two strings on each side of the piece and have them connect higher on your face (like on top of your nose)? Imagine an upside down "Y". It would still be in front of your face, but least your mouth and nose would be free! Regardless, great work as always and good luck for the remaining work, Odin! :)

[@theplasticundergroundprops1035]

Awesome work Odin! I love your problem solving. Cant believe the head build was November!

[@trytofinishsomething]

You are a master sir! This is a masterclass in foam work!!

[@jacobaobert]

I love seeing you make puppet mechanisms. Would love to see more of it. the only thing I can thing of off the top of my head that could be a single video is a replica of Geoff Peterson

[@GerryCanCosplay]

I really enjoyed that. Seeing something different, the ins and outs of the mechanical parts. Also the bit where MGs neck is spinning, I couldn't help but think 'oh no he is possessed' 😂

[@AnnieAnne-l4p]

On the day Godzilla vs Kong comes. Great timing

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The unfortunate thing about the pulley system is you loose the ability to do the full head spinny thing, but I guess the practicality of that in a costume was always going to be questionable, other than that I'd consider making it two cords that connect to either side of your jaw just so it's not cutting right up the middle of your face. It's probably be way more comfortable and provide some more security in case one cord fails in anyway.

[@mrhay2u]

If you ever do want horror show like Zachary the cool goul you should do it dressed like MG 😅

[@matthewscorner2990]

Could you maybe have the cord run through a hole to the side of where the viewing hole in the neck is? Or would that further limit the jaw's range of movement?

[@obiwankenobi810]

You should put a thin mask over your face and add a pipeline for the paracord so that the cord doesnt hit you in the face or get caught on anything
