A little background first: Many people know me as the Godzilla guy, but anyone who really knows me, knows that my favorite daikaiju film is Rodan and that I pursue material from that film with a vengeance. Rodan was the first color monster film from
Toho studios and one of the best efforts from SPFX guru Eiji Tsuburaya. And while many collectors have seen the image of the regular Japanese one-sheet (B2)
from this film, and a much smaller number have seen the rarer b-style one-sheet, tatekan, or beautiful speed poster, almost no one has seen this particular
piece. This C style one-sheet (Chihoban) has Never been pictured in any of the major books/guides on the Toho Monster
posters and is virtually unknown even in Japanese collecting circles. I was really super pleased to be able to add this piece to my collection.
