It's right there in the caption... it's an advertisement for Marine Kong, the first kaiju television series.
Marine Kong? what?
Never herd of it
why is it a poster then it should be for films.
As I said, it's probably an advertisement. From a magazine or newspaper.
Why has the show never brought up before?
Here's Maser Patrol: "Shockingly, the monster has not gotten much love in its native Japan: there’s no DVD release, and the VHS release was incomplete (it wasn’t even in stores, it was an order-by-mail release)." Looks to be only one episode on YouTube, with no subtitles.
I considered it for the Lost Media video, but Les argued that it wasn't relevant enough (and the script was getting very long). If you want to make a page on it, I'd suggest Tokupedia.
Well at least we know what's in the first two episodes, production info and VHS release.
We have pages on lost films why not TV shows?
Assault! Human!! is a lost TV show. The problem is Marine Kong has little to nothing to do with the other things we cover.
We're significantly stricter about the TV shows we cover, since they require so much work.
What about the monster? from the second episode we know its abilities.
Why would we cover a monster but not its show?
Marine Kong should at least be given a chance. We have stuff like Gogola and Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds, which are even less connected to the core of the wiki so why is this exempt?

Read what I wrote.
at least its not going to be a article with few info either way.
It's two episodes. Definitely not that much work.
^I think we need a vote on somewhere popular. (since everyone has a different opinion)
I got my brother to vote for me. https://www.reddit.com/r/GODZILLA/comments/n9nw6g/vote_wikizilla_gets_marine_kong_page/
C'mon guys, it's already been politely declined. There was also the suggestion to take the page to Tokupedia. The voting thing is frankly ridiculous.
"It's two episodes."
26, actually. But the length is besides the point - we don't want kaiju shows on Wikizilla that aren't from Toho or otherwise closely linked to what we cover, period. And trying to drum up support from random kaiju fans on a different site is a non-starter.
But we don't have those 26.
Also, you didn't even acknowledge that there's a lot of things covered here that aren't connected to Toho like Gogola and Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds.
You assume that the rest of the episodes will never be released. And this is the last time I'm going to repeat that we hold TV shows to different standards than movies. A wiki exists for miscellaneous tokusatsu shows - use it.
One vote soo far yes.
@Astounding Beyond Belief we have a similar show Agon: Atomic Dragon.
there was a vote on taking down the ultraman article why can't we do the same for creating one?
I am making a page on the show on Tokupedia.
Aight
Done i hate fandom's screen type when you edit however you just can't see the page that you are creating.
Didn't someone at Toho work on Marine Kong or was it Agon?
Agon was partially written by Shinichi Sekizawa, and the monster suit was made by Fuminori Ohashi (who played the Snowman in Half Human).
That's what I was thinking about. Yeah, looked in Masters of Monsters book and it says exactly that. Thanks Les.
@Lamango An actor from Toho named Shinpei Takagi played Marine Kong.
Citation needed. Plus he was not "from Toho." Only three of the 104 roles on his JMDb were Toho movies.
I think he may have been credited in the episode on youtube.
He wasn't credited in that episode and I don't recall any specific credit for whomever played Marine Kong.
