I figured this would be the most appropriate thread for this. Not so much of "what figure is this" as a question about paint variations of a figure.
This here is the 30th anniversary Gamera figure by Bandai, the 12 inch one from 1994, and the figure I just bought.
It seems pretty rare, and there are little to no videos on youtube about this figure. I have so far found only two videos that mention and showcase it, but they had me confused. Because the Gamera in these videos has a distinctly different paint job than the figure I find on eBay listings or previously on Club Tokyo.
Look at it
I thought maybe it might just be the lighting, but look at the eyes. They have pupils, and generally look completely different
Was this figure reissued at some point? Are there just some paint variation? There arent a whole lot of listings of this figure, but of the ones I have seen, I have NEVER seen one with the paint job shown in the two youtube videos I found.
