Big G might not have a new movie this year, but that’s not stopping Toho from making sure Godzilla still has a monster presence at San Diego Comic-Con. All weekend long, fans of the iconic kaiju will have access to exclusive merch from a slate of top-tier licensees like IDW Publishing, Monogram, Mondo, and more. Plus, Toho International will host a panel on Thursday, July 21st to discuss Godzilla collectibles and why the classic films still resonate in consumer products today.
Okay, that sounds a lot like a pitch to sell stuff, but there’s denying that some of what’s on sale is absolutely stunning, particularly the Mondo posters! Take a couple of peeks below:
As for Toho’s panel, here are the details:

At least the movie only runs 70 minutes, though I suppose that extra 10 technically disqualifies it from being a literal amateur hour.
