From The Mondo Godzilla Press Release
After the release of their most comprehensive apparel capsule to date in 2019, Mondo is proud to continue its unprecedented relationship with Toho International to present ???| GODZILLA: A POSTER SHOW opening Friday March 13, 2020.
This extraordinary poster show will tackle the Sh?wa, Heisei and Reiwa eras of the Godzilla film catalog with 24 posters by 11 artists, including Godzilla fanatic, Tom Whalen – whose TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA poster can be seen below, and Attack Peter, an artist we’ve been eager to work with who specializes in beautifully handcrafted linocut artwork printed on Lokta paper.
Mondo’s Creative Director of Toys and Collectibles, Brock Otterbacher: “He’s been many things over his many years – a symbol of the horrors of war, nature’s wrath, a hero, a villain, and even the collection of angry souls taking revenge on the living. One thing he’s always been, however, is beloved across many generations of fans, children and adults alike. The King of the Monsters comes to Mondo’s Gallery for a kaiju-sized show featuring the city stomping giant, along with many of his friends and foes. Dozens of fantastic artists bring their appreciation to the various eras of Toho’s monster movies, and I, as a huge fan myself, feel there’s something for every kind of Godzilla fan. Whether you have love for Jet Jaguar, Mothra, Gigan, Destoroyah, or Godzilla himself, I think you’ll be stoked for what we have in store for you!”
Along with the incredible array of posters, Mondo will also have the latest additions to their ever-growing apparel collection on hand. Visitors to the gallery will have the first shot at brand new items from Becky Cloonan and Attack Peter – alongside a preview of upcoming officially licensed collectibles.
???|GODZILLA: A POSTER SHOW will have VIP and press preview from 4 – 7 pm, with a public opening 7 – 10 pm on Friday March 13, 2020. It will continue through the weekend, 12 – 6 pm Saturday and Sunday. Speaking of the aforementioned TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA from Tom Whalen, check it out!

Final Thoughts
Cool stuff! Sounds like quite an event. Mondo is based in Austin, Texas, so this partnership makes a lot of sense. I can’t wait to see the rest of the poster art. If it’s half as cool as Whalen’s stuff, we’re all in for a treat. We’ll certainly bring you a recap once we have it.
In the meantime, Mondo’s current Toho apparel collection is now available at Shop Mondo Posters Now! . You can also check out their parent company
