^ I'm glad that I'm not the only one that's bothered by this.
I have an R0 Tawainese DVD of the International version of GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH which has a "clean" title screen, without the copyright crap on it. I'm sure the other titles they released (GIGAN, MEGALON, TERROR) are like this as well. Sadly the image is cropped to somewhere between 4:3 (1.33:1) and 3:2, and probably is for all of the releases. It's just interesting to see that Toho didn't seem to care as much when releasing these films elsewhere (I'm pretty sure they were authorized releases, regardless of how shady the packaging was).

I'll gladly eat crow if it doesn't turn out that way....but at this point it feels painfully obvious, as it has for months.

Did you check the second page. In mine, you open up the book, turn the page, and ta-da, there's your monsters.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Yeah moderators!
@ omgitsgodzilla, the double rainbow means that Godzilla is on some really good shit

None of the others have copyright info either. I kind of wish that the Taiwanese company could have released a rare international dub (THE LAST WAR, WOTG) along with the 70's Godzilla's.
^ its a long story my friend... before the time of man...
Don't try to be something else. Don't try to be less. Great things are going to happen in your life. Great things. And with that will come great responsibility.

Yeah, that would have been nice. The Godzilla films are the only Toho films they released, correct?

Yes and no. Just the Godzilla logo appears on licensed Japanese products, but only in the form of a small silver sticker. Up until the early 90s the logo was completely different from what we see now, and the sticker was gold. Now the logo is based on the Marvel Comics art.
I should have specified that the Godzilla logo appears on licensed Japanese products. My bad. I have noticed how Toho switched to the Marvel Godzilla logo in the mid-90's or so. I prefer the original Toho logo seen on the older Bandai figures because it actually looks like Godzilla.

Yeah, I remember this. My first few Bandai's I got in the early 90's had that sticker. It's still on a few of my tags of various figures.

It's odd that the Kiryu logo was used for STE, but absent on G:U. They also started using the Fire Rodan icon with G:U, when I believe it was the Showa Rodan icon that was seen on the previous games (which didn't make sense, since Fire Rodan was used for all of the Atari games).

It can only be seen with the other logos at the start up screen. It is strangely absent from the box itself. As for the DVD releases, I'm sure it's just something that slipped on part of Toho's marketing department/the people at Sony. Why make an icon if you're not even going to use it on licensed products? I just don't get it.

Clearly, Toho is just random as hell when it comes to this stuff. Which explains why the Rodan icon was used for TWO games, on top of the Heisei MG icon being used for the two Kiryu films on DVD. Makes no sense.
