Well There are plenty of Toho Monsters that Don't have Copyright Icons, and a few that have multiple (Jet Jeguar has 2 etc..). Also Rodan, and Fire Rodan each have one, but 3 distinct Mechadodzilla's must all share one Icon?? Dosen't make much sense.

Kiryu actually did have his own for a short while. Look at the trailers for G:STE or the back cover. And I know Super-Mechagodzilla has one too...rather pointless since it's just Mechagodzilla with Garuda attached.

I find it silly Toho has to put a little 'tm' or 'r' next to every monster's name on DVDs and stuff. It's ridiculous on the back of the new DAM disc.

I have G:STE for PS2, there is no Kiryu Icon, neither was it on the XBOX image I looked at on-line. The resolition of on-line trailers is so pixlated, I cant make out the icons??

If someone coujld post the Kiryu Icon that would be awesome as it would bring the total to 51

Damn it I can't find it. I swear to you, Kiryu does have his own icon.

I did find the Super-Mechagodzilla icon if you want.

Greetings,

I believe you. Trust me, the icons are very hard to find. The SuperMechagodzilla one is one of the 50 I already have, and TG16 has it earlier in this thread. In fact I think there are 48 of them in this thread, I just scanned the Gezora and Ganimes ones myself from the back of the Space Amoeba DVD, also a clearer version of Dogora's from the back of that DVD. Also I scanned both of Jet Jaguars as I have both PS2 & Wii versions of G:U.

Kiryu's icon is actually not on the box itself, but it can be seen when you boot up the game, and all the icons are shown on screen. It goes by quickly so you'll have to keep an eye out for it. It's on the bottom right of the screen, IIRC.

The Heisei MG/Super MechaGodzilla both have separate icons, which seems pretty silly. It kind of saddens me that the Showa MG doesn't have his own. I don't like the 90's MG very much, and seeing that on the back of the GvsMG ('74) Sony DVD made me roll my eyes the first time I saw it. The Showa MG is easily the most popular and recognizable out of the three. Why Toho didn't give him his own icon (but went out of their way to give Baby, Little G and Jr. all different icons, all whom have had very little merchandise based off them) is beyond me.

Here are some REBIRTH OF MOTHRA icons that I didn't see posted in this topic. The quality is atrocious, but it's all I've got.

I always thought Heisei MG was the most recognized, atleast here in the US. He happens to be my favorite though I favor Showa MG just as equally.

Thank you Goji! Those are wonderful, and brings our total up to 55! If I can get a screen cap of the opening of G:STE for Kiryu I'll let everyone know, but its late and I am going to bed, I'll try it in the morning. LOL! that Gohgo gets and Icon, and many other established Kaiju dont.

*edit*- OK so I couldn't sleep without checking this out. It is a horrible copy, but the best I could get from a screenshot of the game. It does in fact say "Mechagodzilla Kiryu", I'm sorry the quality is so bad. But now we can confirm 56 Icons woo hoo!!

That is different than what I remember. I remember a logo that said Mechagodzilla 3. I can't get a snapshot of the Godzilla Saves the Earth game page from a few years back working in my browser to confirm though.

Dear god no. The original MG had been around for 19 years before the '93 film was released, and that film wasn't even released here until '98.. "MechaDuckzilla" is most certainly not the most recognized, not by any stretch, and seems to be the least popular Mechagodzilla with Japanese fans, evident by collector's over there preferring Showa-related collectibles.

The IDW comics seem to be using the Heisei designs a lot.

Maybe those are the designs Toho feels best about?

Do the Gamera monsters have copyright icons?

I could have sworn I saw one for Gyaos and Gamera but I could be wrong.

I scanned the icons off the back of the Classic Media DVDs to get a better resolution image. I think FW and DAM had some as well. I see about scanning those this afternoon.

What's your point? It's easier to write a heroic Mechagodzilla that's built to fight monsters than it is to have a destructive MG bent on destroying humanity battling a Godzilla who has the same goal. Derp. Use your head dude.

I love how you just pop into topics to stick your nose up at people, and never provide anything else to the conversation. You wonder why the hell people find you so obnoxious.

Maybe I'm just a little INSANE but I recall seeing some copy right logos for Gamera and Gyaos on boxes for their toys.

It'd be no difficult to do that, actually.

Godzilla's an animal. He really has no need to team up with anyone.

MechaGodzilla is piloted by man or alien. Ideally, if I were to make a mech to take over the world, giant monsters would be as big as a threat as humans.

So, evil Mechagodzilla and evil Godzilla could fight in a story.
