List of Godzilla and Related DVDs/Bluray CURRENTLY Available

SchizoidHorse,
Which in particular? Depending on the titles, the answer may be different--Overall I haven't heard of any new information regarding Godzilla Blu-ray releases though.

Gman, 

Honestly, anything that has yet to get a bluray release, or in the case of King Kong vs Godzilla, a release with the original Japanese. News regarding Godzilla Raids Again, Mothra vs Godzilla, Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster, Invasion of the Astro Monster, Son of Godzilla, All Monsters Attack, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Mothra, Rodan, or War of the Gargantuans. You are the resident expert on such things, so I thought I'd see if there were any new developments. 

Also, one more important note, the new "Monster Mayhem" re-issue includes King Kong (1933) on Bluray, with $8 movie cash toward a Kong Skull Island ticket. It's only $9.99 at Best Buy right now. King Kong (1933) Bluray @ Best Buy

Aside from the Bluray release, there is also a "Monster Mayhem" DVD release with both King Kong (1933) and Son of Kong, also at Best Buy, for $7.99, with $5 movie money. King Kong (1933) and Son of Kong DVD @ Best Buy

In addition, King Kong (2005) has a new "Ultimate Edition" with the Extended Edition in addition to the Theatrical, with all the previously released extras and a Ultraviolet copy of the Extended Edition, and I can't tell if it also comes with a digital copy of the Theatrical or not... $12.49 on Amazon King Kong (2005) Ultimate Edition Bluray (With Ultraviolet Copy) @ Amazon

Well the bad news about a lot of the titles you mentioned is that there's no incentive to put them on Blu-ray.

Classic Media's titles are now owned by Dreamworks Animation and they consider themselves to have much bigger fish to fry than give their Godzilla titles any attention. One of the reasons War of the Gargantuas and Rodan were hastily put on a two disc set was because they knew they had the rights and simply wanted to get them out there and be done with it.

Godzilla Raids Again, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster, Invasion of Astro-Monster, All Monsters Attack and Terror of MechaGodzilla are under Dreamworks Animation and, infuriatingly enough, they don't want to foot the bill for HD transfers to put these movies on Blu-ray. A massive, fan built, letter writing movement needs to be launched if there is any hope of getting them on Blu-ray.

Son of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla are still in limbo with no US distributor. Last year when The Return of Godzilla was released, Kraken Releasing hinted that they might be getting more Godzilla films--Or at least more kaiju movies. Many fans guessed these two titles were the ones being alluded to (since they're the only ones up for grabs), but there's been no movement/announcement from Kraken Releasing since then.

Universal owns King Kong vs. Godzilla in perpetuity and have never shown interest in buying the Japanese cut from Toho. I can confirm Toho is salty about their naivety with the deal back in 1963 and would probably charge an arm and a leg for it anyway. My one hope is that maybe, just maybe, Universal and Toho are able to work something out in honor of the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong in 2020.

Hey yo, any news on godzilla vs biollante, I am kinda worried that I won't have enough time to get my hands on those movies, so are they out of print or still in print? Also what website do you go to to get these news, if you don't mind me asking.

Gorozilla,
If there's an inflation in price it normally means that there either isn't much stock left from the distributor or that it's out of print. Right now the Blu-ray Godzilla vs. Biollante is seeing some major inflation and is nearly $50. I'd get it now before it inflates any further. The DVD, however, looks okay at a current $18.99.

I know I've asked this before, but it's been a few months: any news regarding any new releases on Blu-Ray for some of the yet to be released Godzilla titles? I was hoping we'd hear about a new release or two by this summer, but perhaps there won't be any releases until Godzilla 2 comes out, so as to ride the hype train. 

Is there any word on a 4k release of Godzilla 2014?

Best Buy has a listing for a new release of Godzilla '14 in March and there were rumors it might be the 4K release, but they've since taken it down.

That's the closest to any "word" we've gotten.

On another subject, this entire list needs to be heavily overhauled, now that Dreamworks Animation (Classic Media) seems to have given up their rights to Janus Films/Criterion.

^ I'm still not sure if Janus has acquired them or simply sub-licensed them from DreamWorks Classics like they did for their Godzilla (1954) release a while back. I remember reading in a couple of places that Classic Media supposedly acquired permanent ownership of all the kaiju films they released on DVD.

^I've been wondering about that as well. I've never seen that Classic Media owns them in perpetuity, but I recall Keith Aiken giving us a time table to when Sony and Classic Media's rights expire years back. I've been scouring the Monster Zero forums to find where he had given said list, but can't seem to locate it. I'm pretty sure Classic Media had an expiration date to their license, but my fuzzy memory can't recall when.

I know Classic Media simply came into the rights to those films when they acquired UPA's library, but I think they did renew the license to them directly with Toho before they released the wave of DVDs in 2006. I guess in that case they must have had a deal with Toho that would eventually expire. I guess we'll find out for sure if they sub-licensed or simply acquired the films depending on whether the Criterion releases for those select films credit DreamWorks Classics or not.

Huh no wonder why I have been seeing an inflation on a lot of showa godzilla movies except a few. 

Other than that I wouldn't worry about it to much and they will probably redistribute it in a few months or a year. 

 I'll be coming back if there is any news on what Criterion on any more information if they will release any home video's.  

^There likely will be.

Hopefully now that there is less than a year there will be some new bluray (hopefully remastered) releases of the classic 70's godzilla movies or a 4K of the new one.

This list needs to be updated in the worst way.

Going through this list, it made me sad how much of it is now out of print and nigh impossible to find. Companies have these licenses and just won't release these movies. It sucks.

In case anyone is antsy...

You can purchase a digital copy of Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla and Son Godzilla on Vudu for $9.99 a pop. I use Vudu a lot so I'm contemplating it.

I got them both on vudu. They are all right looking, I just don't like that they are the dubbed versions. But I am a firm believer in a little something is better than a whole lot of nothing. I got REALLY lucky a few years back and won the now oop dvds on a ebay auction. Oh man it's cheaper to do coke than to get some of these disks!!

Holding out for Criterion.

Any idea when Criterion will release the Godzilla movies on Blu-ray? 

^None. But around a certain May date next year would be pretty ideal.

I just want to say thank you to G. H. for the crazy amount of work that you have put into this page! You have made many of us godzilla nerds happy!

Thanks, but this now as outdated as it gets. I'll clean it up one day, but I'm sort of waiting for Criterion to announce something about their titles.

Have you ever thought about doing a list of every Godzilla DVD release on region 1? 

Also I contacted criterion about the godzilla releases and this is what they had to say: 

Hello there,

Thanks for writing. We hope to release theseGodzilla titles on disc at some point but they aren’t yet on the schedule. The best way to stay up-to-date on our future release plans is to check our "Coming Soon" section and e-newsletter. You can find the newsletter sign up on the bottom of any page on the site (www.criterion.com).

Please stay tuned!

Hopefully with the netflix anime and new trailers coming out for the new movie there will be some classic bluray releases coming out soon to capitalize on the renewed interest. One can always hope!

Looks like i'm going to have to get back to building up my Godzilla archive. I pretty much have most of Showa and of the millennium movies on dvd. I just need to buy the Heisei, G98, and Shin Godzilla movies. Oh I also need all of the King Kong movies as well as the other Toho movies.

 Wraith0711,
I'm sort of banking on that. I've been holding off on updating this list because I keep expecting some major shift in releases mid-year.

 I am very displeased to announce that Criterion will not be releasing any Godzilla movies to home video in the month of May hopefully in June

Yes, I noticed their line-up as well. I doubt we'll see anything in June either. I wonder if they're waiting on Toho's 4K restorations first--In which case we may be waiting for home video releases from Janus/Criterion for a very, very long time.

Excuse me but I have forgotten, when is that supposed to come out again?

I haven't been following news on 4K/possible 4K restorations for the Godzilla films recently. I know a 4K restoration of King Kong vs. Godzilla aired on Japanese television back in 2016--But after that I haven't heard much. The thing is 4K restorations of older films take a whole lot of time and, considering how expansive the Godzilla series is, doing them all will likely take a few years. (Assuming that's Toho's plan.)

GODZILLA: THE SHOWA-ERA FILMS, 1954–1975 The Criterion Collection 15 movie bluray boxed set coming out October 31st. Amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VLJ9KB6/ref=_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Literally, the most exciting release coming out in the franchise right now.

Got mine preordered, just hope they all have the original Japanese dialog with the subtitles. Most of the dubs are laughably horrible especially VS Ebirah.

You won't have to worry about that. Many don't even include dubs, which is becoming the norm these days.

I hate to say it but for the price I paid for this set I am not to impressed with the video quality at all. I don't know if these were supposed to be remastered or restored or whatever the case, it looks to be just old untouched versions just on bluray. The color is a tad to strong and looks grainy. My classic media dvd set looks WAY better.
