I suppose it was inevitable with the forthcoming Big-G movie.
I'll get it, though it brings back painful memories;

I was about 7 my sister 4. Dad was cooking 'cause Mom was working late.
He asked what we wanted for supper, we both said "Kraft Dinner with hot Dogs!'
Dad at that time was by no means a 'Chef'.
He cooked the Kraft dinner, chopped up raw hot digs into it and served it.
MOTHRA was just starting on the tv in the living room. We hadn't seen it before and LOVED monster fliks.
He said we couldn't watch it until we finished our dinner.

Problem was, Dad either forgot or didn't know to drain the water from the macaroni before adding the milk and cheese sauce, and oh yeah, very cold and raw hot dogs. Kraft Dinner Soup is a delicacy in NO parts of the world.

I hate that stuff to this day, and we missed Mothra. Don't think I finally saw it until I was about 14.

A 'must purchase' for me, this is one of the very best kaiju movies in my opinion.

What a strange cover. I don't remember Mothra being all "monstery", more like cute and kinda beautiful.

Is the first Mothra like that cover art?

No, that's just what the original U.S.A. poster was like, it's not what Mothra looks like in the film at all.

Wow, just wow! What an incredible surprise.
Absolutely love these “out of left field” catalog steelbook releases.

Pre-ordered @ Amazon. I hope the price comes down, but if not, oh well. One of the best kaiju classics on Blu, in a Steel, is an absolute must-have for me.
