if something does come out of it, I wonder if terrapin gets sued next for hopzilla. somebody else has a 'zilla named beer too. lagunitas maybe.

Toho is very aggressive in defending the Godzilla trademarks. They've sued a number of people who have written books on Godzilla/Monster movies and used trademarked names / images / fonts.

I looked up a few of the toho cases and it looked like most judges considered use of the name 'godzilla' and the 'zilla' suffix fair use, but drew the line at using image likeness and their trademarked font type.

Who even knew there was a trademarked godzilla font.

Meh, this shite happens all the time. I don't think anything will come of it. Yes it's a play on the old Godzilla nemesis, and that is obvious. But it is not called Mechagodzilla. And it is not the exact likeness of mechagodzilla.

I don't see much coming of this.

I like it too but it can be hit or miss.

Doubtful. Terrapin uses their turtle on their label. The Mechahopzilla design is basically Toho's design eating hops. Maybe nothing comes of it, but it does appear to be way more blatant than Terrapin's design.

yes the op has the title backwards, he is likely suffering from a huge hops hangover.

No just a dumbarse that did not reread after posting.

First mistake was not calling it Mechahopzirra.
