Among other things they promise to not create any of their own monsters because the idea is lunacy when you have the rights to the Toho monsters. That and they say Toho gives their approval to every issue before printing.<br /><br />I'm optimistic for once :)Kilowoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02858466679676506678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-81368223090589356282011-04-03T09:50:06.181-07:002011-04-03T09:50:06.181-07:00Media Blasters is extremely selective about whose ...Media Blasters is extremely selective about whose emails they answer. It's kind of snarky of them to act as if this could have been easily verified at the source. They pick a select few website owners to correspond with for each genre they deal with, and I doubt that list has been updated in the past 4 years. Kudos to Keith for knowing the precise address to use and getting through quickly, but most inquiries get blown off.kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764253014448015330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-21793170145010255842011-04-03T07:06:49.484-07:002011-04-03T07:06:49.484-07:00For an April Fool's joke, you'd think some...For an April Fool's joke, you'd think something a little more elaborate would get cooked up. I mean, it isn't like Megalon *isn't* going to get a DVD release someday. Someone will eventually get around to it. :-/<br /><br />(Cool poster art you shared up there, though!

That Toho regained the right to show the film, but not the right to release it on DVD/Bluray. Maybe Gaiam has decided to release it on their own, in the same way that ADV did Destroy All Monsters. Gaiam still releases horrible DVDs under the GoodTimes label, mostly bad knockoffs from Brazilian company, Vídeo Brinquedo (Toyland Video). You still may of been told correctly what is to happen, just with the wrong players.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222744514870786456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-17123456146730336612011-04-03T02:34:07.301-07:002011-04-03T02:34:07.301-07:00Thanks, everyone!
