Sony's Toho Collection

The final artwork for the Sony's Toho Collection DVD set has been announced.

To quote former President Lyndon B. Johnson on a portrait of himself he didn't like: "That's the ugliest thing I ever saw!" Here it is without text:



It appears the actors on the cover aren't impressed with it either. They seem to be looking at something more interesting.

The synopsis for the DVD's features has also been revealed on Sony's website. Here it is:

Synopsis

Mothra: Members of a Japanese expedition to a heavily-radiated island find two tiny, beautiful girls and take them home for observation. When the girls are taken off the island, a mysterious egg hatches, producing a gargantuan moth which destroys everything in its path as it searches for the girls. H-Man: The Tokyo sewer system is an oozing mess after a radioactive liquid turns people into slimy blobs that float down the drains following a rainstorm. To add to the havoc, the gelatinous masses then begin to reproduce. The blobs are ultimately destroyed in a fire that lights up the city. Battle in Outer Space: A series of mysterious catastrophes sweep the globe, causing world's scientists to conclude that beings from another planet are attacking earth. Two earth space ships damage attackers, giving the world time to prepare for gigantic battle in outer space.

Who the hell wrote those? The "two tiny girls" weren't "taken home for observation," they were kidnapped by the villain so he could exploit them in his Tokyo nightclub! Yeesh!

Danny Tokarz on the Monster Zero message board said it best about the synopsis:

Jeez, a kid at G-Fest could have written a better synopsis for these films than what Sony just did.


And Sony could've had the services of August Ragone for virtually nothing! Mind-boggling!
