Now... is the case of six the 8,000-some yen, or is it that much per figure?

[Kaiju no Mura]

That price is for a case of 6. Not individually.

That's not so bad, then. I might have to look into them.

[tymon]

Wow, nice Gameras. I might have to look into those as well, decent price too..

Glad to see that Gamera merchandise is still being made! The Hedorahs look very attractive, too.

Limited edition of 10 each were made and sold for 5,500 yen each at the show.



*Update on the future Trading Figure Gekizou Series -Heisei Gamera Arc-. If you buy a case which contains 6 blind boxes, you will get the 4 standard versions but it is not 100% guarantee. The chase figure of the Nightmare Gamera will not be contain in each case. Unknown yet what the ratio is per case for the chase. Most likey it will be tough to get.
