I haven't seen any caps from the 4k transfers that Toho forbid Criterion to use but as far as I can tell, the only one that would be a notable improvement is KKvG (apparently they found 35mm material to replace the 16mm scenes in every restoration since the 90s?).

They couldn't get the rights to the AIP/Titra dubs for some reason (probably Toho blocking 'em).

That only applies to two of the movies in this case.

The only confirmed dubs are for Monster Zero/Astro-Monster, Son of Godzilla, DAM, Megalon, and both Mechagodzilla films (plus the U.S. cuts of KOTM and KKvG, which of course aren't straight dubs).

They've quickly rewritten the entry for KKvG. It appears the Japanese version is now the default cut. Doesn't look like we're getting Gigantis The Fire Monster though.
