Monster Toy Spotlight #30: Gyaos (Heisei)

Post by ゴジマン »

Well I felt like it was time to do a spotlight over my favorite childhood nightmare, the Gyaos. The only figure I have is a Hyper Gyaos since I still haven't bothered to buy any others, but I'm very interested to see what you guys have.

I don't have any photos, but I had the Trendmasters Gyaos for awhile which looked like a weird cross between the 95 and 99 versions, and came with a purple beam that always jammed in its jaws. I also have an old Bandai Gyaos in a bin somewhere, but it's the Showa one.

My collection is severely lacking when it comes to Gamera (if I ever get back into collecting full time, perhaps these are gaps I will try to fill, as I've fulfilled most of wish/bucket list for my Godzilla-related collection). So I'll just post a few online reviews from time to time. Below is an online review of the classic Bandai Super Gyaos:

When we did this spotlight at CT, i was surprised how many Gyaos figures i had. Since then i've added some Showa Gyaos, but no new Heisei Gyaos in the past 3 years

This beauty was a Sega crane toy, sculpted by X-Plus iirc

My Gamera collection is pretty lacking, too. I only just added this guy (girl?) within the last month or so:

It is always fun to look at SD chibi-style toys, here we have the rare Yutaka 30th Anniversary boxed set with Gamera and Gyaos from 1995.

^ How tall are those? Do they scale with the chibi figures from Fujimoto?
