"Godzilla vs. Gigan (地球攻撃命令 ゴジラ対ガイガン)", Original Japanese Movie Poster 1972, Toho First Release, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) N163

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1972 for the first theatrical release of Godzilla vs. Gigan (地球攻撃命令 ゴジラ対ガイガン), produced and distributed by Toho. First release posters for this title are highly desirable, reflecting its cult reputation among kaiju fans for its inventive monster battles and distinctive 1970s aesthetic.

Film background
Godzilla vs. Gigan was directed by Jun Fukuda with special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano. The film introduces Gigan, a cyborg kaiju equipped with a buzzsaw chest and hooked scythes for arms, who quickly became one of Godzilla’s most memorable adversaries. The story sees Godzilla and Anguirus defending Earth from Gigan and King Ghidorah, summoned by alien invaders masquerading as humans. With its mixture of monster spectacle, science fiction themes, and even Godzilla’s first use of on-screen speech (in the Japanese version), the film stands out as one of the most colorful and eccentric entries in the Showa series.

Poster design
The poster artwork explodes with dramatic action: Godzilla and Anguirus clash against Gigan and King Ghidorah in a fiery battlefield. Atomic rays, laser beams, and explosive destruction fill the composition, while bold red and blue typography proclaims the film’s title across the bottom margin. The overall design emphasizes the high-energy chaos of the battle and the introduction of Gigan as a new threat to Earth.
