Something awesome happened on the way to the store today. Waiting at my front door in the mail slot was the Attack Peter Godzilla Letterpress (活版) 4 Prints. Peter Santa-Maria, aka Attack Peter, joined us on Collect All Monsters Episode Episode 27 to discuss the release of his new Mondo Godzilla figure. During the show, he surprised each of us with this awesome card set. Today my set arrived.
“This limited Attack Peter Letterpress Card set is carefully hand crafted by Travis Smith, Alamo Drafthouse’s printing specialist. Made by an antique but polished Heidelberg Windmill machine, these cards made its debut at MONDO: The Front Runner of Film Poster Art in Tokyo” (Source: Sykbound.com). Each set includes for letterpress prints of Godzilla with Minya, Hedorh, MechaGodzilla and Gigan. The set was limited to 1,200. They were available at
National Film Archive of Japan (国立映画アーカイブ), MoMAK (The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, 京都国立近代美術館) and on Skybound.com.

Thank you so much Attack Peter for such a wonderful gift of art. I had the perfect wall frame waiting to display them.
