"Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II", Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1993, Artwork by Noriyoshi Ohrai, Extremely Rare, B1 Size (c. 73 × 103 cm)

This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1993 for the release of Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II. It is in excellent condition and rarely surfaces on the market.

Created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Godzilla franchise, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II marked a pivotal moment in the Heisei era with the revamped Mechagodzilla and the introduction of Baby Godzilla. Toho commissioned the legendary illustrator Noriyoshi Ohrai, famed for his international poster for The Empire Strikes Back, to bring his visionary style to the promotional artwork.

Ohrai’s dynamic composition captures the explosive confrontation between Godzilla, the mechanised Mechagodzilla, the fiery Rodan, and the futuristic Garuda aircraft. The artist’s technique—fine-tuned over decades of painting book covers, magazine illustrations, and epic movie posters—adds dramatic depth and intensity to the scene.

According to a detailed exhibition report from Film on Paper, the printed poster appears noticeably darker than Ohrai’s original painting—an artifact of the printing process, as noted by the exhibition curator Tatsuya Ishida.

The large B1 format was produced in very limited quantities, reserved for select major theatres across Japan. It was issued exclusively for the original theatrical run starting December 11, 1993, and was never reprinted in this size, making it exceptionally rare.

It is over 31 years old!
