This was my reply from the post on it on reddit.
Sounds like a great idea. It's good to see Toho try and care about their beloved character and NOT making decisions without knowing what to do with the character.
Now this sounds like more than setting up the films, but more of a wider "What else can we do with this property?"
First off, straighten out the Return of Godzilla license sort out and release a bluray. It'd be nice to have the other movies come out on bluray as well, but I'm not sure if studios can really pressure companies to release their movies.
Resend the "No Extras" on new Bluray/DVDs policy. Yeah, Media Blasters screwed up on the first DAM release but that's because they're Media Blasters. They wouldn't be Media Blasters if there weren't screw ups and several delays. I want my Ed G. Biollante commentary damnit!
Godzilla on TV. Anime, Western Animated Show, Tokusatsu, something.
More toys, or at least a wider release and bigger presence . And not just Bandai Creations figures, as nice as they are. Maybe have Tamashii Nations produce more figures and release them wider in the West, since we buy more than in Japan. Bandai and NECA are in the perfect spot to make a line of Godzilla toys and accessories to rival what Trendmasters gave us in the 90's. Although it might mean Toho might have to make deals or discounts on licensing the other kaiju.
More and wider release of official clothing. And please not just black shirts with an image, I want a more colorful wardrobe. I'd love to see a Godzilla costume hoodie that's of equal quality of the Super Hero hoodies I see every where (ie good material, pockets, and spikes are more than just pieces of fabric).
What I'd love to see is something like a touring Godzilla Encounter/History of Godzilla Exhibit. Props, suits, and memorabilia.
Pie in the sky, a Godzilla the Ride at Universal theme park.
But I might be reading a bit more into it than there is. But I guess we'll know more in November.
