Reccommend me some new R1 kaiju DVDs!

[TripMasterMunky]

I'm looking for any legit Region 1 tokusatsu DVD/Blu-ray releases. Kaiju, superhereos, whatever. Doesn't have to be Japanese, but I'd prefer it to be from the East. Not really interested in collecting American monster films.

My current collection:

Toho
All Godzilla films (minus lack of Megalon, 84, Biollante)
Rodan & War of the Gargantuas
Mysterians
Varan
Mothra, H-Man, Battle in Outer Space
Matango
Atragon
Dogora
Frankenstein vs. Baragon
King Kong Escapes
Latitude Zero
Space Amoeba
War in Space
Rebirth of Mothra 1 & 2

Daiei
All Shout Gamera releases
Gamera 1/2 Blu-ray (holding out for a G3 blu-ray release)
Gamera the Brave

Superheroes
Original Ultraman series
Ultraman Tiga vol. 1 & 4 (need 2 & 3)
Super Robot Red Baron series
Iron King series
The Super Inframan

Non-Japanese
King Kong 33 Blu-ray
The Host Blu-ray
Cloverfield Blu-ray

Hopefully this can be a good list for people wanting to start new collections too. I know I have a lot of stuff but I'm missing some things, so that's why I made this topic. For example, I know I don't have the out-of-print Daimajin releases unfortunately. I really dig the first Daimajin.

I know tokusatsu is a really generic term, but hopefully from my collection, you get what I'm looking for. Stuff that's kaiju-related mostly. Was tempted to put Yokai as a section but I don't think I'm ready to jump into that genre yet :P

EDIT - Updating suggestions below:

Other R1 DVDs I need: (just means I don't own them, not haven't seen)
Daimajin trilogy
Gappa the Triphibian Monster
Ultraman Gaia: The Battle in Hyperspace
Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light
Yongary Monster from the Deep / Konga double feature
Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds
Monster X Strikes Back

Monster X Strikes Back is garbage, no need to waste your time there.
Same goes for Death Kappa.


I'd suggest picking up The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, 20 Million Miles to Earth, THEM!, also, I don't know if there's a decent R1 of Gorgo.

Also, I only watched it once (was about to watch it again the other day and got sidetracked) but I remember Garuda being a decent little Korean flick.

Also, I found Negadon the Monster from Mars for like $5 on Amazon. Worth it for that price.

If you don't hate the non-1933 incarnations of Kong you could always pick the various DVDs of those up.

and then another "depends on level of interest": the DVDs of both the Godzilla and King Kong animated series

others that spring to mind (some I haven't seen):
The Blob
The Black Scorpion
The Deadly Mantis
Earth vs the Spider
Eight Legged Freaks
Monsters
Reptilicus
Tremors
Sharktopus

I saw Monster X Strikes back at G-Fest. It was hilarious in the theater full of people. I watched it later at home, and i thought it kinda dragged on. Still mildly entertaining though. I've definitely seen worse.

Green Slime from Warner Bros. Definitely old skool SFX but lots of fun with interesting but stereotypical characters, a space cowboy plot, along with a great title song. Check it out on youtube.

Another one I'll recommend is The Mighty Peking Man.

A couple of others that haven't been mentioned yet are Orochi the Eight Headed Dragon and Reptilian. Not that I'm recommending either, mind you. I'm just saying they're out there on R1 DVD.

And, of course, there's Dragon Wars. I actually do recommend that.
