Toho Special Effects Complete Monster Encyclopedia

A comprehensive encyclopedia featuring all the monsters created by Toho's special effects!

2014 marks the 60th anniversary of Godzilla's birth! Furthermore, the Hollywood-produced film *GODZILLA* will be released in Japan on July 25th, 2014. With this long-awaited Godzilla film, a global Godzilla boom is sure to ensue this summer. To coincide with this massive surge in popularity in the summer of 2014, we are publishing *The Complete Toho Special Effects Monster Encyclopedia*, an encyclopedia that provides an overview of all approximately 900 monsters created by Toho, from the original *Godzilla* to the latest *GODZILLA*.

In addition to star monsters like *Godzilla* and *Mothra*, it also includes monsters from Toho's television special effects works such as *Rainbowman* and *Chouseishin Gransazer*, which have rarely been featured before. This is a complete encyclopedia of Toho's special effects monsters, including many previously overlooked creatures.

This book features a wealth of information and photos, including film synopses, monster characteristics, alien saucers, and even images of monsters disguised as humans, making it a satisfying read for adult fans. The pages are arranged chronologically, allowing readers to easily follow 60 years of Toho special effects history.

This is a luxurious "adult encyclopedia" dedicated to all monster enthusiasts.

[Editor's Recommendation] The first edition includes three special bonuses: a "Complete Monster Encyclopedia Clear File," "Godzilla Movie Poster Stickers," and "Three Great Monster 3D Blocks."

The "Three Great Monster 3D Blocks" are a complete reproduction of the 1992 supplement included with the magazine "Shogaku Ichinensei" (First Grade Elementary School). Enjoy papercraft models of Godzilla, Mothra, and Battra!
