A big surprise for kaiju fans! Crunchyroll has added the 1968 Godzilla movie, Destroy All Monsters!
Featuring an epic team-up of multiple Showa-era creatures against legendary enemy King Ghidorah, Destroy All Monsters is considered a fan-favorite entry in the Godzilla franchise.
Will this pave the way for future streaming Godzilla films? Only time will tell!
An article in Cinema Today reveals that Toho Studios is planning a brand-new live-action Godzilla film, to be released in 2016!
Thanks to Legendary Pictures version of the iconic character (released last summer, to mixed reviews but financial success), fan support for the King of the Monsters is at an all-time high, and a revival became possible thanks to that.
No cast or crew details are known at this time but Toho has confirmed that this will be unrelated to the Gareth Edwards version and that projects’ previously announced sequel.
Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Godzilla movie details!
Our site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com have sent out a new E-mail announcing their Holiday Sale as well as new pre-orders and new arrivals!

On this date in 1954, a creature named Gojira stomped into Japanese theaters and changed the world of monster movies forever.
Today we celebrate the King of the Monsters’ sixtieth birthday! Godzilla has been through many adventures and faced many challenges over the years; fighting against giant insects, mutant plants and moronic American directors- but he’s beaten them all! The world of tokusatsu would be a very dull place without Godzilla’s adventures, and all of us at TokuNation hope for more new projects in the future.
There are far too many amazing moments in the history of Godzilla to list here, but one particular encounter remains a favorite among most fans, and we share this moment as a centerpiece for our celebration:
Feel free to join in our ongoing Discussion Thread and share your favorite memory of the King of the Monsters!
At the recent Tamashii Nations event we got a glimpse of a strange S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2014 recolour in a “burning” style deco to mimic one of the initial promotional posters for the film. Now Amazon Japan have shed light on how this interesting redeco will be released!
S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2014 (Poster Version) will be released as part of an Amazon.co.jp exclusive 3D Blu-ray set of the latest Godzilla film, which features a whole load of special features spread across five discs in collectors’ packaging. It is due for release on February 25th 2015, retailing for the price of 16,200 yen.

Flying under the radar among the other recently revealed Tamashii nations products this week is the upcoming S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla 2000 Special Color Version!
It looks like the very popular Godzilla 2000 mold will be getting a re-release in a new color scheme designed by Yuji Sakai. A prolific concept artist and S.H. Monsterarts Sculptor, Mr Sakai is also the original artist behind the design of Godzilla 2000! It appears that the new paint job is the only special treatment given to this figure as no additional accessories will be included, just as with the original release this is bare bones.
Godzilla 2000 Special Color will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in April 2015 for 7776 yen.
