Ahead of Godzilla's 66th anniversary on Nov. 3, Toho has announced its team-up with a whole host of corporate partners to offer fans a variety of ways to celebrate their love of the iconic kaiju.
New online videos will be released weekly by Nerdist on its YouTube channel through the end of the year, using archival clips from classic Toho movies in everything from faux exercise videos to infomercials of Godzilla as a professional exterminator for kaiju-sized pests.
In addition to the online video series, Mondo is releasing a line of Godzilla prints and apparel for fans looking for the perfect MechaGodzilla enamel pin or Jet Jaguar t-shirt. Pop artist Shag is also unveiling a limited edition silkscreen print through his online store in association with Toho. On Nov. 3, the popular PlayStation game Fall Guys will have a limited time Godzilla player skin for gamers to navigate the game's obstacle courses dressed as the kaiju.
Godzilla has been thrilling audiences since Nov. 3, 1954 in his theatrical debut in Japan. The acclaimed original film led to a wave of sequels, reboots and reimaginings, branching out to all kinds of merchandising, including television and video games. Netflix recently announced it is producing a new anime series Godzilla Singular Point, while Legendary Pictures is producing the upcoming Godzilla vs Kong, pitting the two titans against one another on the big screen.
