Thanks. After two or three unsuccessful years of trying to win this when it rarely showed up on ebay i actually got it through the CT Yahoo group mailing list by sending out a request to see if anyone had one they wouldn't mind parting with! A few months later i went to G-Fest 2011 and one of the dealers had it there for a few dollars less... which i thought was funny since i had set this thing up as my unattainable Gamera Grail. It's a really a shame Art of War didnt do more kaiju stuff.

Here is another piece featuring Gyaos.. this is the Art Works figure based on the art of Yuji Kaida

The tower and the flames have a little bit of translucency but it takes a pretty strong light source to notice... they also have the bone variant which doesnt have any transparency

Also, from the same Furuta series comes the smallest Gyaos i own.

This one has really good transparency on the water... mine also came with a second Gyaos packet even though the instructions only detail one... not sure if i got lucky or if they did that in case you lose the little guy...

So, you have a healthy Gyaos collection there, eh?

Made a trip down to Orange County over the weekend to transfer stuff from my storage unit there to my storage unit here in LA, and there were a few Gyaos goodies to be found. Here's one, from Trendmasters:

And here's the last of my storage unit finds. I actually don't even remember getting this; I'm sure it must have come with some other, larger figure.

Thats the small accessory Gyaos from the Kaiyodo Xebec figure (the first picture in Kaijuzoo's post right above yours). It came in numerous color variants, as did the Gamera it accompanied.

Revoltech Gyaos beatin' up on Rodan.

Gyaos is probably my 2nd favorite Revoltech (after the Baragon).
