Howdy SpaceHunterM, noticed you’ve got some experience with the International versions of these films and was wondering if you could help me out. While searching for some posters for Godzilla vs. Gigan I stumbled on these two posters, both seem to be Toho International posters for Invasion of Astro-Monster and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. Can you just make sure they’re legitimate before I upload them onto the galleries?

Here are the two posters:

They’re double-sided flyers — IIRC, chirashi (B5) sized. The obverse is the Toho International poster (or variation) and the verso has a synopsis, some credits, etc. The ‘60s films had synopses in French and Spanish, too.

The H-Man (talkcontribs)

My mistake, it looks like B3 is the primary size for these, although maybe not exclusively. These were eventually replaced by booklet format flyers: The Return of Godzilla, Gunhed, etc.

As always with posters, my advice (for what it's worth) is to note the size in the galleries here only if you're certain it was printed in that size.

I have a topic about poster sizes here; this is a good off-site reference for Japanese poster formats and sizes.

Interesting. Might see if they’re some more out there.

With this information you may add both of these to their respective galleries.

Sure thing!

Nice little thread you made there The H-Man. Maybe I should make one about British posters, since I bet someone at some point will confuse an UK poster for one of these films as being an American one (despite older UK posters usually having either a U, A or X rating on them).

Ani Mate, the One-Headed Human (talkcontribs)

Pretty sure I saw a higher quality image of the verso side for Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla once either by looking on images for a while or on a Toho Kingdom forum. Maybe I should go back and find it.

Side note: Does that English synopsis for GvMG say “A yong architect”? The beauty of Toho International.

So when I was looking through the page for Prophecies of Nostradamus I had noticed that you seemed to have added Matthew Oram’s dubbing company under the name “Voicetrax” as part of the Foreign releases section. Is that actually the name of Oram’s company or is that just speculation, if so where did you find it, was there any name found for Barry Haigh’s dubbing company? Hope this isn’t too much of a hassle, I’m thinking about making pages for some of the dubbing companies on here (e.g. Frontier, Atlas as well as maybe Oram and Haigh’s companies) since it’s such an interesting, important and mostly unknown part of these movies’ history, I want to help spread awareness of these dubbing companies if I can.

You and The H-Man never fail to surprise me with how much you know about the alternate versions of these movies.

Space Hunter M (talkcontribs)

We are in the process of reaching out to the Orams to confirm some specifics, but yes, broadly, Voicetrax was the dubbing company Matthew and Elizabeth operated from the mid-'70s to mid-'80s.

I was reading on The H-Man's talk page & noticed one of the users he was chatting with had posted a Serbian Godzilla 2000 poster & I was wondering if you could add it to the Godzilla 2000 poster list as I don't want to risk making a mistake of accidentally deleting anything.

P.S. Here's the link: https://wikizilla.org/wiki/File:Serbian_godzilla_2000_poster.png
