Monster Toy Spotlight #14 - Heisei Gamera (94, 96, 99 & 06)

[KlenSeven]

I figure i'll take Hobby Japan's definition of Heisei from their tremendous Gamera Heisei Perfection book, and include GtB on account of so few figures being created for him.

As vast as my Godzilla collection is, it is severely lacking in Gamera figures (something that I've always put off getting around to).

Here is my only Heisei Gamera figure...the Xplus Gamera 96 released back in 2002 (back before Xplus realized they could charge $150-$200 for these things )

Couldn't let this thread go without the obligatory SHMA post.

That had to be the best Gamera figure I have. I just love this figure. And it's also of my favorite design which just makes me love it even more

[Castellan Zilla]

Just realized I have a toy of every representation of Heisei Gamera.

This is all the Gamera I have at the moment.

What scale is that Konami Zedus? So few figures were made of Zedus...

^ The Konami figures are the blind box type, so its about 3.5-4". They are incredibly detailed (more so than any of the Bandai stuff in a similar scale)

It's a bit early, but any takers for Monster Toy Spotlight #15? later this weekend? A list of contributors to past threads who haven't had a chance to do one yet: Kaiju no Mura, Mr. X, Leunames, Heartless. ArchdukeSquidlyIII, RandomDeinonychus, Manticore, UltramanGoji, Starsteam, Captain Aktion, SJM925, Kaijunator, Tyrant_Lizard_King, LamangoKaijura, GodzillaXGomoraFight, DoctorMafune . Or if Klen7 has someone different in mind he would like to nominate for Spotlight #13, then cool.

If no one steps up before the beginning of next week, then a past topic contributor can take it (expandkong, TeddyBaragon, g2vd, GIGAN05, AWMGodzilla62, KaijuZoo, Creature22, Castellan Zilla, SpaceG92)...

[UltramanGoji]

I've got an idea for a spotlight, I'll take the reins if no one else wants to.

[ebirahsmeg1]

And the winner is UltramanGoji Monster Toy Spotlight #15 is yours...feel free to post it anytime.

X-Plus 25cm Gamera 96


I really wish X-Plus would get some more 25cm Gameras out. Jiger would finish off the Showa era, and anything from beyond that would be very welcome in my book.. Though i do love the 30cm Gamera 95, i skipped the other 30cm releases and now even in Japan they go for a pretty penny.

Sega Gamera '99



The only Gamera in my collection, and it was coindicentally missing in this thread. Crappy photo quality, but an awesome figure, huge and detailed.

[KaijuZoo]

Another view of the Sega Gamera, the KaijuZoo exclusive Series 2.

[KlenSeven]

I picked up the 30cm Gamera 99 for a bargain

[ILL GREEN]

Sticking my Sunguts Factory Trauma a.k.a Nightmare Gamera in this thread.



Would it be a sin if I repaint him?

[KlenSeven]

^ i'm not crazy about that paint scheme on that sculpt. I think it looks good on the GtB Avant Gamera.. anyway here's the black Trauma and the new Avant

[Creature22]

I've had this thing for years, but have no idea on the manufacturer or which Heisei film it is from (I always figured Gamera 2?). I think it might be from Yutaka. I also had a Rocket Pro figure of Gamera that came on a card like an action figure, and the arms and tail had to be attached.
