Mondo Awakens GODZILLA at SXSW

SXSW Mondo Godzilla Gallery Show
After the release of their most comprehensive apparel capsule to date in 2019, Mondo is proud to continue its unprecedented relationship with Toho International to present ゴジラ| GODZILLA: A POSTER SHOW opening Friday March 13, 2020.

Mondo’s Creative Director of Toys and Collectibles, Brock Otterbacher: “He’s been many things over his many years - a symbol of the horrors of war, nature's wrath, a hero, a villain, and even the collection of angry souls taking revenge on the living. One thing he's always been, however, is beloved across many generations of fans, children and adults alike. The King of the Monsters comes to Mondo's Gallery for a kaiju-sized show featuring the city stomping giant, along with many of his friends and foes. Dozens of fantastic artists bring their appreciation to the various eras of Toho's monster movies, and I, as a huge fan myself, feel there's something for every kind of Godzilla fan. Whether you have love for Jet Jaguar, Mothra, Gigan, Destoroyah, or Godzilla himself, I think you'll be stoked for what we have in store for you!"
 
Along with the incredible array of posters, Mondo will also have the latest additions to their ever-growing apparel collection on hand. Visitors to the gallery will have the first shot at brand new items from Becky Cloonan and Attack Peter - alongside a preview of upcoming officially licensed collectibles.
 
ゴジラ|GODZILLA: A POSTER SHOW will have VIP and press preview from 4-7p, with a public opening 7-10p on Friday March 13, 2020, and continue through the weekend 12-6p Saturday and Sunday.
