Oh.
Kraken's Sea Monster, Hedorah, and Gigan discs did include the 2004 Sony transfers but Kraken actually got those HD elements directly from Toho according to . Sony wouldn't have had any reason to keep their materials for those films after they decided to let their licenses expire without renewing them. They probably returned everything to Toho, which explains how Toho ended up providing those same transfers to Kraken, so Toho probably has Sony's transfers for Mechagodzilla and Son of Godzilla as well. It would be great if Funimation were to license those two films and release those high-quality transfers on BRD but that could theoretically happen with Kraken or Shout! Factory or any other studio that wants to go for it... except Media Blasters.
