Do it Legion, splurge on those Gameras. Buy them. For me.

[Major sssspielberg!]

Yeah Legion, now you're being peer pressured. You have no choice in the matter.
DEW IT

Would you go as far as saying I should just Dewey it?

They are tempting though. No room and tight finances though

[Executive Hamster]

Your name is LITERALLY Legion and you aren't gonna get Gamera 96? Lmao

[_JNavs_]

My Toytle 96 will be here in 2 da- oh wait it’s Friday isn’t it.. Welp there’s always Monday-Wed

[StardustGenius]

I got the Mother Legion last year and she is pretty cool. Heavily considering doing a painting project with her. I got the Monsterarts Gamera 96, my favorite take on the character, so I am good for now. Those Gameras look really good though.

[KingKaiju]

I need that '96 Gamera!!!!!! My stand in is this X-Plus figure that I got, back in like 2002-2003 or something for Christmas.

[Creature22]

That’s the exact one I had as a kid; what a throwback! I think it was from Rocket Pro?

[Platypus Prime]

I never thought I'd see anyone use an X-Plus as a substitute for an MMS (I don't have any, doesn't X-Plus stuff costs something like a car payment?), but whatever works best in your collection!

[Executive Hamster]

You can get a lot of the late 1990s early 2000s X Plus stuff for decent prices if you look hard enough ($40-$80 I often see). Especially loose. That being said, they aren't nearly the same quality as the new stuff, but they are still pretty good figures. I especially like my Godzilla 1998 figures, green and brown, and those DEFINITELY were the exception when it comes to prices.

I can't recall. I wish I would've saved the cardboard back, but it was X Plus and Sega or something. I can't remember. Just one of my earlier figures from when I was like 12 or 13, and I've loved it since. Just a real nice looking figure.

I believe this was an earlier figure. Cost my brother $20 from Shinders I think.

Looks like Gamera 2023 drops in April and Gamera Monsters A and B drop in June.

Fire Rodan is also coming as is Monster X

[StardustGenius]

Holy cow! Monster X in 6 inch scale huh? Imagine a Kaiser Ghidorah in that scale. Gamera Monsters A and B huh? My guess its either some form of Gamera, or probably a Gyaos.

Niiiiiice.

Im going to assume that Gamera Monsters A and B could possibly Gamera's flying form.

[king_ghidorah]

Could be but I’d imagine they’re foes he fights

[Legion1979]

I think if the mystery Gamera monsters were forms of Gamera it would probably be listed along the lines of "Gamera version A" and "Gamera version B".

[king_ghidorah]

Exactly.

I imagine one is Gyaos cause ….I mean come on.

Anything is possible for the other one.

[Maverick Centigrade]

Exactly.

I imagine one is Gyaos cause ….I mean come on.

Anything is possible for the other one.

I think there's a better chance for new monsters. Or perhaps previous monsters from the Showa era that haven't been used in ages. Because Gyaos is in a lot of Gamera movies. And I feel like Gyaos' inclusion wouldn't exactly be something worth hiding.

I honestly would like Gyaos to sit this one out. They have been in almost every Gamera movie.

[Legion1979]

Yeah. If you count stock footage Gyaos was in 5 out of 8 Showa Gamera movies.
