Are we talking about Japan or America? Because there's issues with both.
First is that they've already done this in Japan with the Godzilla Final Box: Click Here
But that's DVD only. Toho has not completed releasing the Godzilla movies on bluray yet.
Second, it is unlikely that a Godzilla box set with every film will be released in America within the next 20 to 30 years. Even then is unlikely so I'm going to go ahead and say there will never be a complete box set for the Godzilla series in America. Here's the problem-- Different companies in America own the video rights to different Godzilla movies, take a look:
Classic Media/Criterion: Godzilla (1954)
Classic Media: Godzilla Raids Again, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster, Monster Zero, Godzilla's Revenge, Terror of MechaGodzilla
Media Blasters: Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla vs. Megalon
Universal: King Kong vs. Godzilla
Echo Bridge: Godzilla vs. Biollante
Sony: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth, Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, Godzilla vs. Destroyah, Godzilla 2000, Godzilla x Megaguirus, Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah, Godzilla x MechaGodzilla, Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., Godzilla Final Wars
A Black Hole: Godzilla (1984)
Currently No American Distribution Company Owns: Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, Son of Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Hedorah, Godzilla vs. Gigan, Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla
So the Godzilla films that have American distributers are stretched across 7 different companies. It is unlikely 7 companies will agree to come together and create one boxset for a niche franchise. It just won't happen.
In order for that to happen all the rights for these movies will have to revert to Toho and Toho will have to sell them to just one distributor. That's unlikely to happen, because Toho likes making money off of other companies selling their product. Plus the rights for all the Sony Godzilla movies don't expire until 2025. Classic Media recently renewed their rights, so they have Godzilla for another decade or so as well. That's a long time before Toho gets the American distribution rights back. If it were to happen, it have to happen likely after 2025 or 2030.
I'd love to have a single Godzilla boxset, but the likelyhood of that happening is literally zilch. It would be cool though...
well hopefully toho recognizes that it's not 'just' americans who love godzilla, they really do not recognise the value of a international audience.
Here's some Muto artwork. By the way none of this is my artwork. This is other peoples artwork.
The next two won't post so here's the links.
And a picture of the new Godzilla and a picture of his silhouette.
Good point but since TOHO owns Godzilla I think they can work something out with all the companys that worked on godzilla. It's a must now, it's also a good time since this new movie is creating such hype.
a problem about this that how do the re-release the dvd/blu-rays, who's distrubuting it, will tristar cause troubles because they put godzilla vs king ghidorah 1991-godzilla final wars on dvd, and smaller companies including bfi(uk)/criteion collection(us) have released gojira recently.
Yeah that would be good but regaurdless of price I would purches them. Maybe if everyone talks and brings it up enough eventually someone at TOHO will catch word, would be pretty cool in my opinion.
i watched g1998 on vhs loved it as a kid(3/4 years old), then maybe a year (memory is a little blurred) my first toho godzilla movie was (unfortunatly) ebirah horror of the deep (godzilla vs the sea monster in the us). at first i liked the 1998 movie more, then when i watched the movies online (back then and still today the only way if you live outside the us) and godzilla save the earth, i was then hucked for the rest of my life.
i'd prefer 150-200$/£ for blu ray and 90-150$/£ for dvd
sounds awesome but i'd lower the price
The arms are a tad small, but who knows? We haven't seen the full design yet!
That's an awesome drawing either way! I like the dorsal fins especially. :)
mc donald or kfc because they are one of the 3 big fast-food places in places like europe, taco bell (to my knowledge) is an american only ff resturant.

Thanks Chris, I'll do that next time.
@AKIO123 You've done a better job of describing what I was trying to communicate. I think the introduction to Godzilla (his first attack) will be, like you say, done from varying human perspectives. I can definitely envisage it being a normal day, everyone is going about their business until suddenly all hell breaks loose but at this point in the film the source of the carnage is a mystery so shots of Godzilla will be like eye witness accounts. That's not to say taht the audience will be starved of Godzilla footage like in Cloverfield, it just means it will be a very human experience. Think of it like this - a tornado has a very distinct, recognisable form from a distance but if you were to be suddenly caught up in that storm without warning all you would experience is howling winds, darkness and debris. This is how I imagine the first encounter with godzilla. That shot of the man stood atop the fallen skyscraper surveying the destruction around him may well be one of the few survivors of this first attack and the audience will be as taken aback by the city laid to waste as he is.
You can simply copy and paste pictures from other websites into the editor here and they'll show up. Just for future reference, I added the pic for you here. :)
Yeah, but still it's very close.
the head seems to be based on the 2012 comic con teaser sillhouette because the neck in the drawing is too thick, in the offical trailer the neck seems to be more slimmer.
if they do i also hope they release them internationally, no offence to you guys in america but only you lot have got godzilla in english in region 1, im from the uk so i have to use region 2, that really pisses me off.
i think they should come out when the 2014 godzilla comes to dvd because then there can be a whole box collection counting the 2014 godzilla dvd
I was thinking the samething, I dont see why not, we could see another Toho Ltd. Godzilla series along with the new Legendary film sequel's. Too much money involved not to do it.
Mc Donalds sounds kind of Wack IMO, how about Taco Bell or Carls Jr. ?? it's alittle more adult instead of childish.
Doing something with McDonald's would be huge since a lot of kids and their parents go there to eat. I wouldn't be surprised if 7-11 does a promotion as well. I've seen them do promos with superhero movies including large size mugs.
this movie needs a lot of hype to be succesful, i hope they play the 'good' godzilla movies on tv either movie channels or freeview channels like channel 4 (uk channel).

Here's that link! I hope this is as exciting to you all as it is to me! :D
Ladies and gent's, Bandai/Tamashii Nations has revealed that a Godzilla 2014 S.H.MonsterArts figure prototype IS currently in production!!!! In an October 15th interview Toho Kingdom's Chris Mirjahangir conducted with Tsubasa Utsumi of Tamashii Nations, it was revealed that Bandai is working on a Godzilla 2014 figure, which at the time of the interview had yet to be opproved. Utsumi-san only discussed it briefly, but stated that he hopes to include bonus effect parts for the figure, including an atomic ray and even some abilities that may not be featured in the film! I'll provide a link to the interview as soon as possible!
All I know is, that's $65.00 to $80.00 dollars that will be leaving my wallet as soon as I see a preorder!!!! :D
I never got a chance to watch any Godzilla films until about 2009 when GODZILLA 2014 was first announced. I was really excited about a new Godzilla movie and decided to watch one for the first time. I chose Godzilla vs. Megaguirus since it was the only one on TV. I thought it was okay but then I watched Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) on Hulu and that film pretty much cemented me as a fan. I still need to watch about 10 more to see all 28 though, I'm missing pretty much all the films from the 60s and 70s.
Godzilla himself@ how old r u? I'm 12
i thought it was a nice post too, im young as well mikezilla, good to see im not the only one around
hype= box office moeny, moeny= sequal,sequal= good
of course,everyone goes to mcdonalds+mcdonalds promotes godzilla=huge amounts of hype!
I've been a Godzilla fan since I was born. I was born in 1996. The first movie I ever saw was Godzilla 2000 when it came to theatres. I instantly fell in love, as I grew older I kept watching all the movies they released while of course finding the older ones and watching them as well. I've seen every movie and my first tattoo will be of Godzilla. I will be a fan until I die. I'm now 18 years old and I cannot wait to see this king reborn in the starlight. It's about time he got the attention a king deserves. Am I right?
the feet are great, they help to convey the sheer size and power of godzilla, as for the whole gill thing, i hope not, and i ddoubt thry are, it would severly limit the new godzilla compared to past ones and isnt realistic for a reptile anyways. i was thinking that they might be overlapping scales of armor that provide durability while still allowing for flexability or if they really are gills that he does not need them after his mutation and they are just vestigial.
does anyone agree there should be godzilla toys for happy meals for kids?
The only reason for me to go to McDonalds. XD
It would be strange if they dont.
I would buy it if its not too fragile.
I think im ok with it. just feel the need that the toes need to be a little longer but none the less my hype for the film is not ruined what so ever.
I hate McDonalds, but I have to admit that a TV spot with godzilla eating a burger or something would be funny.
