Description

Was big cleaning in the upstairs and re-discovered my first Godzilla film on the first tape that carried it, Godzilla vs Gigan from my grandma's collection.  It's been well loved as you can clearly see.  I love this image, one of the most permanently ingrained images of my childhood.  The only oddity which I didn't realize until later is how it shows a double placement of Princess Nami down there in the corner, as though they were trying to recreate the Twin Fairies but didn't have any stock pictures of them to use.

Jesus I feel so old looking at this VHS cover 

brings me back to the days of Blockbuster Video and Hollywood Video

you know after looking at this again I always wondered why Nami from Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla was on the cover for this film?

Double your Nami, double your fun XD
Terrible joke, I shall retreat in shame.

But I would guess the artist probably got handed some stock photos and may not have realized it was the same woman in different clothes.

I missed that one as a kid, I begged for it but we were so poor at the time it never made it to my shelf.  Love the box art from this era, I'd love to see painted covers make a return in the future

Gotta love they have Nami from G vs MechaGodzilla on the cover, twice mind you, yet she never shows up in this movie XD That is some flagrant false advertising

Not too bad, thankfully I was always kinder to my tapes than the materials they came packaged in
