Godzilla toys are some of the most fun to Photoshop into backgrounds. Some of the Japanese vinyl figures have awesome details that look wonderfully realistic. But you can't just plop the figure into a random background image. To look integrated into the background, you have to take the photograph of the Godzilla outside. Also, for the figure to look unimaginably huge like the "real" Godzilla, you have to add numerous atmospheric effects. It's a pain-staking process and surprisingly difficult to render perfectly.
