Modern Toy: Giant Gamera, etc.

The green one comes with a tower and the blue one has the lighthouse.

Do the other versions come with accessories?

 

The blue painted one came with a lighthouse. The green, orange, the earthtron and blue unpainted were released with a Tokyo Tower. I don't know what the accessory for the glow version was. The gamera Earthron color version is not a 1-off custom but a limited release. I have seen others.

 

I believe it was a GID Tokyo Tower.

 

S7 had a giant gamera for the longest time that i would contemplate getting everytime i went there. the $200 price tag was the only thing keeping me from it, yet i would drop $200 on an orange LB rebel ink... i'm a retard.

 

Love thus sculpt. So detailed for such a huge toy.

 

I ordered mine (blue w/lighthouse) through Masato Shono in 2002 or so. I remember Biskup had an orange one in his office at Cartoon Network around the same time. I think the green & GID versions came later.

 

I think someone had one of the classic green ones in the sales thread for a little bit. Could've been another Gamera, though.

 

It really is a wonderfully sculpted interpretation of Gamera.
U.S. Toy and Gargamel take a very similar, graphical approach to their sculpts.
Great stuff Daniel.

 

The green is my favorite, tho' I'd probably love the glow but I can't find a pic of it.
Here's the green from CT:

A little scuffed, but here it is. Apparently, the GIDs were signed and numbered.

 

Awesome D!

So jealous!!

 

Gotta admit...I'm jealous too!

That's beautiful!

 

add me to the list. I didn't realize I'd be jealous until I saw these pictures

 

Simple and beautiful

 

I only have two photos of mine among other toys that actually give a good sense of scale





Ever since I got mine in 07/08, I've wanted more of them - but unless you want the green or blue one, it's a tough order to fill.

 

He looks awesome holding the Tower. ^^^

akum6n's GID version is a real beauty! The minimal paint adds just the right highlights while letting the sculpt do all the talking.

 

Nothing really new to add, but that GID Version is off the chart Daniel....Giant size and GID? What more could you ask for? Only 10 made though. That's going to be a tough one to find for anyone looking.

 

Thanks guys. I do think the minimal paint on the MT Gameras adds to the fun of the figure. It's not some fancy painted-up art piece- you gotta pick it up and touch it.

 

That GID is stunning. Congratulations! I heard that there was a glow version and am happy to know that it wasn't just a rumor.
There's something very fun about this guy. Part of the appeal is how clunky it is. It takes up a lot of space though. I plan (hope) to get a few more but have to shift the collection space around before making the commitment.

 

At this late date I think that I'm lucky to have scored the green and the blue. Have no expectation of ever seeing, let alone scoring the blue/pink, the orange or the GID or the blue test shot. I've seen pix of all but the orange; anyone have a photo of it to share?

It’s on Club Tokyo, hopefully the link works

 

I think there are 2 different versions of both the flesh and orange vinyl base figures. I have that orange one, but have also seen one with cream paint on the belly and gold eyes.

 

STILL a bitchen toy!

 

Thank you! Yep, hadn't seen that one. It is so beautiful. It looks like it belongs on my shelf; so much so that I looked around the house to see if I bought it in the past and forgot about it. Nope, just cat and dog hair.
