Along with the black and white horror movies from Universal and other Hollywood studios were Japanese monster movies. Now seven of those titles have been brought together on Classic Tokusatusu Collection. This is a limited-edition release that’s only available on Shout! Studios website. They’re only making 2,500 and they’ve already sold over 600. If you want to get Invasion of the Neptune Men with Sonny Chiba, you might want to pre-order before the Febuary 27th shipping date. Here’s the information from Shout! Factory:
