Kind of weird we haven't done Gamera yet right?

Well, we can save Showa for later (after I get the new X Plus figure).

Anywho, enough talk. Here we go:









As you can tell, I'm a big fan of the 96 design. As you can also probably tell, the Iphone 4's camera isn't very good but what can you do?

Hopefully I'll have time to Bandai the hell out of this thread when I get home tonight.

I've always thought that Revoltech 95 figure had an amazing sculpt. I think the 96 is a little bit of a step down in fact

Bandai's Gamera trio, each one a smaller scale than the last...

I love the posture on this guy:

But, popular though the '96 and '99 looks may be, I think this fella just lends himself best to action figure form:

This was an HMV Exclusive variant of the Bandai Movie Monsters Gamera 3

And here's the Yutaka Giant Gamera 3 bank going toe-to-toe (claw to claw?) with the Banpresto Godzilla 2000:

Here are some entries from Gamera Konami SF Collection Series 1... again, despite how small these are, the detail on this series puts a lot of more expensive figures to shame.

Here is the Iwakura Gamera skull (there is also a "crystal" skull variant of this one)

The jaw is hinged, which means despite being a skull, it has more movement than almost all of the other Iwakura box toys together

and here is another Gamera from Konami SF Daei Series 1

Thanks, its one of my favorite pieces since its kind of unique.. not a lot of Gamera skull sculpts out there..

Here is my absolute favorite Gamera figure (seen previously briefly in the Gyaos thread)

Art of War Gamera 99 (with macabre dead Gyaos base)

Love the dead Gyaos in the base. :D

Here is another macabre entry... G99 with a severed arm and puncture wound (should have gotten another shot of the shell, oh well)
Image
Image

Then this BEAUTY is actually a Revoltech! It was released to be in scale with the Legion figure and has no hint of articulation
