Matango - Original Motion Picture Score LP PRODUCT INFORMATION
"Have you ever been walking in a forest and stopped to try some fruit growing on a tree or bush? You may think twice after MATANGO, a tense psychological horror from Ishirō Honda, director of GODZILLA (1954). Released in Japan in 1963 to immediate controversy over the similarity of the makeup effects to the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, MATANGO is about a group of men and women driven to violence and murder after being shipwrecked, only for them to fall victim to the horrifying mutated monsters that inhabit the island they discover. Released overseas under the titles ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE and FUNGUS OF TERROR, MATANGO's eerie musical score was composed by Japanese classical composer Sadao Bekku and is as hypnotic and surreal as the film's shocking climactic sequences. Bekku's music takes much of its inspiration from jazz, from the irreverence of a cue for the shipwrecking storm to the haunting trumpet that hails the first sight of the desolate island. Much of the score is about form, colour and texture, and it often offers dissonant patches that wind up the tension between the men and women and snakey woodwinds that highlight the insidious nature of the island's true inhabitants. MATANGO is a masterpiece." -Charlie Brigden TRACKLIST
Rebirth of Mothra 2 - Original Motion Picture Score LP PRODUCT INFORMATION
"Earth's greatest defender is back! Join Mothra Leo, the latest legendarily humongous member of the Heterocetera family, as he carries on the legacy in REBIRTH OF MOTHRA II, directed by Kunio Miyoshi with a story by the great GODZILLA creator Tomoyuki Tanaka. An ancient sea monster named Dagahra awakens due to mass ocean pollution and Leo needs to stop it, but it can only do so with a trio of children who discover the ancient sunken civilisation of Nilai-Kanai, who created the monstrous aqua-kaiju. Also in the mix is the Mothra Twins' evil sister Belvera and the adorable little creature Ghogo, who befriends the children and acts as their protector. Returning to score REBIRTH OF MOTHRA II is Toshiyuki Watanabe, who brings back the exciting and lyrical orchestral style he established in the previous film, starting with a thrilling heroic theme for Mothra Leo that encaptures the nobility of the kaiju and his representation of nature. A threatening brass march for Dagahra expresses his vicious might, while a gorgeously ethereal and somewhat melancholic theme represents Princess Yuma and the ancient kingdom of the Nilai-Kanai. But the best is saved for last, a beautifully versatile theme for the creature Ghogo that encapsulates what Mothra as a character is all about: loving and protecting the Earth." -Charlie Brigden TRACKLIST
Rebirth Of Mothra 3 - Original Motion Picture Score PRODUCT INFORMATION
"Mothra 3 The trilogy ends! Everyone's favourite Lepidopteran defender of Earth returns for a humongous climactic battle in REBIRTH OF MOTHRA III, this time fighting the Toho universe's greatest villain: King Ghidorah! Directed by Okihiro Yoneda, the picture sees Mothra Leo and the Elias sisters join forces with a young boy after Ghidorah kidnaps hundreds of children so he can siphon off their power. For Mothra to defeat his most ferocious foe, he must travel to the past while all three sisters must make up and join their special daggers together to give Mothra the ultimate power and defeat Ghidorah. As with the previous two films, scoring REBIRTH OF MOTHRA III is Toshiyuki Watanabe, who once again brings his powerful orchestral style to the series. His music soars with pounding drums and heroic brass as Mothra travels to the Cretaceous period to attack Ghidorah in his younger form before transforming into the beautifully lyrical and ethereal tones of 'Haora Mothra' as the Elias transfer their power to Mothra. Ghidorah himself is given a suitably malevolent motif for low brass, but Watanabe brings back his triumphant Mothra theme in spectacular fashion as our hero is reborn as Armor Mothra, bringing a sensational musical end to the trilogy. Mothra oh Mothra, our guardian angel!" -Charlie Brigden TRACKLIST

 Buckle up ... this Thursday, April 7th is going to be big, especially if you're a fan of giant kaiju and kings of monsters. We've got some new TOHO releases dropping at various times this Thursday, that we're so excited to share with you all. First up, we have a pair of new posters from two of the very best. Kazuki Ōmori's GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE is one of our favorite Godzilla films, and Tom Whalen has delivered artwork worthy of the giant rose monster made up of plant DNA, Godzilla's chromosomes, and the cells of a grief-stricken scientist's deceased daughter. To put it simply, Tom destroyed this. Two versions are available this week, with a special third version to be released later this year. Additionally, we're thrilled to continue Attack Peter's titanic exploration of Godzilla's Showa Era with a beautiful new linocut poster for the second film in the iconic filmography: Motoyoshi Oda's GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN. All posters will be releasing tomorrow at 11AM CT, as always on The Drop. On the Toys & Collectibles side of things, we have even more TOHO Soft Vinyl ahead, starting with Thursday's release: the first in our line of JET JAGUAR figures, featuring a colorway inspired by the seminal GODZILLA VS. MEGALON. This version, with many more to come, goes on sale this Thursday, 4/7 at 12PM CT on The Drop.

  From Mondo King Ghidorah, Monster Zero, The Astro Monster ... this three-headed hydra kaiju has terrorized millions throughout the cosmos; and now ready to terrorize your tiki bar! Appearing in over eight films, King Ghidorah has cemented into pop culture as one of Godzilla’s fiercest adversaries. Celebrating such a beast is no small feat. We did our damndest with 8 3/4" inches and 26 oz. of pure monstrous excellence, fit for all sorts of libations. On sale tomorrow, Tuesday March 22nd, at 12PM CT on mondoshop.com. When deciding what the next Godzilla Tiki mug would be, we really felt that King Ghidorah would be the perfect fit. It was definitely a challenge to incorporate its design into a compact, easy to fit-in-your-hand tiki mug. That said, as it was designed we realized that all of Ghidora’s scales and shapes translated really well into tiki. We chose the Showa Era design because of its iconography, pairing nicely next to last year's Godzilla Showa Era Tiki release. We enlisted the skills of the super-talented Tufan Sezer to sculpt and bring this mug to life - he really killed it. We worked to find the correct proportions, shapes and textures. In the end, Tufan really nailed the design, contributing a lot to the overall look and feel of the mug. Lastly, we turned to the amazing folks at Tiki Farm to make this mug a reality. We knew we had a pretty complex design on our hands and no one was better suited to handle than Tiki Farm. They accepted the challenge; the result speaks for itself. Cheers! Mondo Toys and Collectibles KING GHIDORAH Tiki Mug Design by Hector Arce Sculpt by Tufan Sezer Packaging Design by Mike Bonanno Expected to ship in July 2022 to US & Canada $65
 
 Our GODZILLA MUSEUM small-scale statue line continues Series 1 with a jaw-dropping design from Attack Peter. The linocut master has taken what he's done on the page and expanded it into three radical dimensions. His work has already a become a staple of the Godzilla art world, so to see him take the reins on this statue is nothing short of fantastic. Attack Peter Statement: “Toys have always been my greatest love! One of my earliest toy memories as a child is that of my grandfather buying me what I now know is called the 'Imperial Godzilla!' He was a staple in all my multi-versal toy wars but mostly I admired his expression, form, paint, and even the seams. I took him with me everywhere! Figures like this one inspired so many creations in crayons, clay and eventually linoleum and ink! We are now full circle and I hope when you hold THE KING in your hands, he inspires joy, wonder, love and creativity!” Artists
