Video: Godzilla Raids Again Japanese Trailer!

Japanese Godzilla Movie Projector!

Talk about your cool factor... an 8mm movie projector that came WITH a Godzilla movie... that's either Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster or Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero, I believe!

Japanese Godzilla Mini-Movie Cards!

These mini-movie cards (more images to come from these in the future, I believe) appear to feature scenes from many Godzilla movies!

Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla Italian Photobusta!

This Italian photobusta for Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla is really bizarre... it makes the monsters appear to be the same height as humans!

Yongary Italian Poster!

I don't know that I've ever seen this movie!

Kong Kong Vs. Godzilla Still!

Kind of a boring still for King Kong Vs. Godzilla, but there you go! Hope you had a great Christmas yesterday!

Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero Mexican Lobby Card!

Merry Christmas!



OK, it occurs to me that either there were two releases of "Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero" in Mexico, with a different title each time (Monsters of the Galaxies and Invasion of the Astro-Monsters), or one title was used in Spain, and one was used in Mexico. If I had to guess, I'd say that Monsters of the Galaxies was the Spanish title, and Invasion of the Astro-Monsters (seen above) was the Mexican one.

Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero Japanese Book And Record Set!

Here's another of those Japanese "sonosheet" book and record sets... this one is an adaptation of "Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero," and I would've loved to get it just for the book!

Godzilla Vs. Megalon Poster!

Kind of surprising to see this poster, because I didn't know that Godzilla Vs. Megalon ever had a U.S. theatrical release -- I could've sworn it was aired on TV only!

Godzilla Vs. the Thing Lobby Card!

Here's another of those rare lobby cards I have in my photo files that's a high enough quality image that you could click this, download the high res version, and print it out on your printer and have a nice little mini-poster!

Ghidrah The Three-Headed Monster 8mm Box Art!

When I was a kid, I always wanted to get these 8mm monster movies (and a projector, natch) to watch at home, in those pre-home video days... the box art on these are always fun to look at!

Godzilla Japanese "Encyclopedias"!

Pictured here are some of the Japanese "Encyclopedias" published about our favorite mutated giant lizard! These books are very fun to page through, even if you can't read Japanese! They're packed full of detaled drawings and photos, and I wish that they'd been reprinted in English!

Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero Mexican Lobby Card!

In Mexico, Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero was known as "Monsters of the Galaxies!" Cool painted image of King Ghidorah, isn't it?

Son of Godzilla Fake Comic Book Cover!

A bit of a story behind this one, the first image I've shared here that's faked! A number of years ago, a much more popular blogger than I, Mark Evanier, posted a series of Dick Van Dyke comic book covers, published by Gold Key, in his blog. Problem was, Gold Key Comics never published a Dick Van Dyke series - nor did anyone else! Thanks to PhotoShop, it's easy to create your own comic book cover mock-ups.

Well, inspired by that, I thought, "You know, it's a shame there weren't any Godzilla comics until the Marvel series of the 1970s... it's amazing nobody adapted the movies at all!" So, I started searching for images to use, and I figured that at least the first few movie adaptations would've been done by Dell Comics, and at some point Gold Key would've picked it up (much like what happened with many other licensed properties).

Eventually, I would go on to mock up many more fake comic book covers, and during the year plus I was writing a column called "Cover Stories" for World Famous Comics, once a month my column would be titled "Comics They Never Made," and I'd feature these!

So here's the first one I'm sharing! There will be more!

Godzilla View-Master!

I have no idea if this View-Master set is based on the Marvel Comics (as one might have assumed from the artwork, which appears to be adapted from Herb Trimpe's Marvel Comics artwork) or if it's based on the animated series... I'm pretty sure it's not based on the movie series!

Godzilla Vs. The Thing Mexican Lobby Card!

Here's another one of those Mexican Lobby Cards for Godzilla Vs. The Thing/Godzilla Vs. Mothra!

Godzilla Cartoon Keychains!

These keychains, featuring Godzilla and Gadzooky, are obviously based on the Hanna-Barbera animated series!

Gorgo Still!

So today's image is a still from the "British Godzilla," Gorgo, who was popular enough that Charlton Comics licensed it (like they did Konga) for a series of comics!

Video: Godzilla, King of the Monsters Trailer!

Godzilla Japanese Paper Game!

Here's a Godzilla game from Japan... and all I can tell you about it is that it features Godzilla, Minya, and a bunch of dinosaurs!

Godzilla Vs. The Thing Mexican Lobby Card!

As you can see, even in Mexico, this movie was properly titled "Godzilla Vs. Mothra," as opposed to the US' "Godzilla Vs. The Thing"!

Rodan Pressheet!

Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero Japanese Poster!

Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster Lobby Card!

Can any of us see images from "Godzilla Vs. the Smog Monster" without hearing the "Save the Earth" song in our heads?

You know, this one:

Mattel Godzilla Game!

This is a pretty cool game, one which I'd love to get! Each player gets a number of spaceships, and at random times, Godzilla eats one of the ships! Whoever has the last ship left wins!

Godzilla Vs. Megalon Mexican Lobby Card!

The title apparently is translated, as one would expect, to "Titans Planetary." Perhaps a more accurate translation would be "Defenders of Earth"?

Shogun Warriors Rodan Figure by Mattel!

You may have heard of Mattel's Shogun Warriors line of giant robot toys in the 1970s... you may have even heard of the Godzilla figure in that line... but did you know there was a Rodan figure? I'm not sure what's up with the three holes in Rodan's chest, there.

Godzilla "Jumping" Toys!

These cute SuperDeformed Godzilla toys are designed so that you press 'em down, and a few seconds later, they pop up into the air!

Son of Godzilla German Lobby Card!

Here's another German lobby card for Son of Godzilla!

Japan R/C Godzilla by Bandai!

Here's a look at one of those cool Japanese Godzilla toys that get very expensive to collect in the USA! It's a radio-controlled Godzilla!
