In the mid-70's, well before being adapted for television by Hanna-Barbera & NBC, Godzilla had been licensed by Toho Productions to Marvel Comics. The series lasted a couple of years, and had some nice art. I actually owned an issue or two before the family moved to our current abode, and I had to give away what I had.
At the same time, Marvel had also acquired a license for a series based on some Japanese action heroes/action figures, the Shogun Warriors, who actually crossed over into Godzilla's book, as memory serves.
In terms of toys, Mattel had the license to create action figures for both the Warriors and Godzilla, which were marketed together. Actor Marvin Miller (ex-Aquaman, The Millionaire), at the time doing some voice work for the Kroffts, is the narrator.
