    I know they did a version of this character but I think the one in those pics is by "Master Ceramics". I never heard of them, anyone know anything about them?

    It does look like Sunguts work more than Nerdone, never heard of Master Ceramics tho interested to know as well.

    Price must be expensive going on the scale of the pics it is a very large doll

    I have heard of them only because they have made giant ceramic Hedoarh for Shelter Bank. But I don't know anything about them.

    Actually I don't think they are a company. Master Ceramics may just be a brand name line for Shelter Bank.

    Are they the same company who made the small ceramic Ultra Q monsters?

    Can someone post a pic of the "Mummy of the Double Head" that Chris is talking about?

    This one is a surprise to me, so thanks for sharing the discovery of him here, Lixx. So great to see another two-headed fella that isn't just another riff. A fantastic toy by the look of it, I really like the subtle changes in expression, some very nice sculpting work. The hands and facial features are very well done, not being too simple, but still maintaining the design of from Mizuki. For such a large figure, he doesn't look 'blown out' or misproportioned at all, which is a harder effect to achieve than I think most realise. Looking at the single shot of him against the black background, he could easily be a simple 4" figure. Nice paintwork on the wraps and the doubly-toned skin. A great character, and made wonderfully. I know I would love to adopt one of these fellas. I hope we can learn some more about the maker/line. If this was the first part of a larger GGGnK series, that would be pretty spectacular, but even as a one-off production project like the Hedorah, it is a great toy!

    Yeah I like both versions, the smaller because it looks glow and the larger because it's a big toy! Apparently screen shots of the cartoon here:

    Again being out of the buying loop for so long (like Fake Spectreman) probably means no luck finding them.

    Chris, looks like the screen shots you posted are from one of the Kitaro games. Nerd One's page does reference it being from 鬼太郎の世界お化け旅行 which I think is a cartoon version.
    Looks like Max Toy released it, but it was produced by Nerd One??
    Also...

    Oh that's a great gif! I'm not so gif posting savvy here. Apparently drag and drops don't work for long and just give that missing link after a little while.

    So I saw that Max Toy did a version (not sure if it's that glow or another smaller one I've seen floating around) was it available in North America (meaning could you order one here?)?

    Also thanks for posting a pic of the bigger one Anthony. So Shelter Bank is the maker?

    I don't recall Max Toy Co ever producing a double headed mummy. If there was one on their table, most likely they were sharing the table with another maker. I am club member to Max Toy. Mark send newsletters and not once have I have heard of the double head mummy being offered from them. Plus I follow Yo Max Toy Japan blog and don't recall seeing them also.

    Shelter Bank would be consider the license holder and company that requested the figure be made from another party for them. They aren't strictly a toy company per say. They have a shop that they sell all types of items.

    I read somewhere it was a one off license for a festivals (well for the big one it was winter WF 2016 and the Max Toy was summer WF 2015) so that is where they are both from. Damn licensing strikes again!

    Yeah Anthony I tried to look for info on those Max Toy versions on all the usual Max Toy outlets online and found nothing on it. Weird.

    Anyone know the character name besides double-headed mummy boss?

    double-headed mummy spectre or double-headed mummy monster.
    Here are pics of the Max Toy release from WF earlier this year:

    You can see on the back of the header it's mentioning Nerd One.
    And a max toy blog post from 2015:

    I had the maxtoy version with flesh faces, pretty sure it's not GID (I have to check I'm not at home). The master ceramic version is much larger and apparently not in vinyl but urethane. I don't remember the retail price at Winter WF 2016 but Mandarake sold it at 30.000¥. I hesitated to buy it but the price discouraged me, shame it's a beautiful toy.

    @3x3is9 Thanks for providing the photos. I never knew Max Toy collaborated with Nerd One to spit one out. Very interesting.

    So great! He actually looks like he was plucked from a Tintin comic. Actually, I haven't read enough Tintin to know if it ever crossed into the supernatural, but the style looks very similar to me.

    That's a nice one! Thanks Anthony. Don't know how I'd come by one unless it shows up on Mandarake (albeit for much more I'm sure) not doing the YJA thing anymore (for a least a long while).
