Does anyone know any history on this guy ?

Was he a reissue or based of a movie etc....

its a girl..

Yeah !!!

That makes it even cooler !!



Any further info ?

she is very "loose"...

Are you planning on painting one up?

Maybe, I saw it and thought it was a pretty cool looking fig.

I found an all GID and put a bid in on it.

Then just wanted to find out anything about it.

Starting to appreciate other kaiju.

shamelessly stolen from another forum:

RAGON

Height: 164 feet

Mass: 20,000 tons

Powers:

Heat Beam - Ragon can fire a heat beam from his mouth, this beam is not very strong and can only cause small fires and burns.

Adept Swimmer - Ragon can swim through the water at high speeds.

First Appearance: ULTRAMAN: FIVE SECONDS BEFORE THE BIG EXPLOSION (1966)

Fight Record: Wins 0, Losses 1, Ties 0

Origin: A sea creature that was grown to gigantic sizes by nuclear energy.

History: Ragon is believed to be some sort of gigantic creature that was awoken from an atomic blast. At first the creature just attacked ships at sea but soon moved in land where it began the attack. The worse thing about it is that hanging on the monster’s head is one of the lost atomic bombs. The Science Patrol tried to stop it with out making the bomb explode, but it all fails. The bomb began to slide down his back as one of the Science Patrol jets flew around him. Ragon fired his heat beam at the plane, making it crash down.

A new plan was developed to try and calm the beast with music, but this all failed and made the sea beast even angrier. Ragon began to pull up trees and toss them into the air. Ragon began to chase the youngest member of the Science Patrol until Hayata arrived and transformed into Ultraman. Ultraman challenged the beast just then, the atomic bomb dropped and Ultraman dived for it, catching it, but Ragon was quickly on the attack. Ultraman’s warning light began to flash but Ragon was relentless and would not be defeated. The atomic bomb soon fell into a tree as the two clashed and then it began to roll down the side if a hill, As time ran out for Ultraman, he used the Specium ray on Ragon, sending the beast back into the water, if it survived or not is unknown.

SO it a "he" not a she.

And thanks that was perfect

Where did you get that from ?

its odd, in the show it seemed to be a he, but most of the sculpt show him as being a she. Not sure what the official word is.

Google

He or she its still a pretty dope sculpt.

Was this the episode where one little boy kept losing his shoe?
i remeber the little girl calling out "Shooooooooe!" everytime he lost it.

Ragon was the first androgynous celebrity. Heavy influence on Bowie, etc.

Originator of "glam-kaiju".

I thought this guy was also in one of the Ultra Q episodes.

Yes, his/her first appearance was episode 20 of Ultra Q, "Underwater Hominid Ragon". And Ragon can also be seen again in the recently released volume 1 dvd of the 1966 Utraman series, episode 4 "FIVE SECONDS BEFORE THE BIG EXPLOSION".

You wouldn't think that Ultraman would actually fight with a "girl" so maybe it is a dude in need of a "Manssierre" or "Bro" as seen in the Seinfeld show !!??

Nonetheless, thought you might want to take a look at another version of the M-1 Ragon:

KaijuZoo M-1 Ragon

She

Thats a dope colorway !!

HAHA.. i was thinking about taht episode too

It's def a gurl in the 'Ultra-Q' episode.
In fact she's a mommy.
She comes ashore to rescue her baby who's been found and adopted by some pesky kids or something.
(Actually I forget the details, but there's probably some 'pesky kids' in it somewhere)

That's prob MR. Ragon in the Ultraman episode ...
