This poster is one of the "Complete Revival of All 28 Godzilla Films – Special Posters," created as a prize for a promotional campaign by Japanese convenience stores in 2004, commemorating the release of Godzilla: Final Wars. Limited to just 1,000 sets, this collection is highly rare and increasingly sought after. Details of the film. Year of production: 1962 Director: Ishiro Honda Released in 1955, Godzilla Raids Again marked the first sequel in the Godzilla series, introducing the first battle between Godzilla and another kaiju, Anguirus. It was the last Godzilla film in black and white, and established the foundational "kaiju vs. kaiju" theme for future installments. After a seven-year hiatus, King Kong vs. Godzilla premiered as the first Godzilla film produced in color and widescreen, utilizing Toho’s "TOHO SCOPE," comparable to CinemaScope. It also marked screenwriter Shinichi Sekizawa's debut in the Godzilla franchise. This film was the first to depict Godzilla’s signature blue-gray body color and the iconic bluish atomic breath. The concept of pitting two global icons against each other drew inspiration from the legendary 1958 wrestling match between Rikidozan and Lou Thesz. This shift cemented the transition from standalone kaiju films to the "versus" format, laying the groundwork for the Showa-era Godzilla series. The movie features numerous homages to the original King Kong (1933), including the jungle in the title credits, Kong shoving a tree into Godzilla's mouth, and Kong scaling the National Diet Building while holding a woman. For promotional materials, composite images were created combining Godzilla with photographs of the original King Kong, adding to the homage. 【Shipping Method】 Items are usually shipped via airmail through the post office, with a tracking number provided. However, for high-value items or multiple purchases, we may use FedEx Express, which offers faster delivery and higher coverage. 【Common Post-Shipping Issues】 When shipping through the post office, there are often cases where the system integration between Japan Post and the postal service of the destination country does not work smoothly. On eBay, tracking data is synchronized with Japan Post, so the status may remain as "Awaiting Customs Clearance" without any updates. In reality, the package is progressing, but due to these system issues, the status does not change. You can obtain accurate tracking information by entering the tracking number on the destination country’s postal service website. 【Packaging Method】 To minimize the risk of damage during transit, purchased posters are packaged as follows: ・The rolled poster is placed in an OPP bag. ・The sides of the rolled poster are protected with cushioning material to prevent wrinkles or damage. ・The poster is placed in a sturdy cardboard tube. The tube we use is thicker than those commonly sold at hardware stores. While the standard tube thickness is 1mm, we use tubes that are 2mm thick. (Square cardboard boxes can be crushed when stacked or mishandled by couriers, but the cardboard tube we use ensures proper protection.) ・For valuable or rare posters, an additional outer box is used to further minimize the risk of damage. 【 Points to note about customs duties 】 All products we sell are shipped from Japan. Import duties, taxes, and other charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
