The book you just posted says his name is "Belzor." :D

But you sound like you know what youre talking about so...


I guess that sounds like a compliment. :wink:

The variety of tranlations from Japanese phonetic Katakana characters to "Engrish" is oftimes due to a large extent that a hard "RRR" sound is replaced by an "LLL" when translated and pronounced, and sometimes vice versa.

For example, Megaro in Japan refers to Megalon in the West. Same thing with Biorrante and Biollante, etc.

I've just purchased the "So Crazy Japanese Toys" book, and fell in love with the Belzor or Baruzasu figure on the cover.

Does anyone know if this figure is still available, or what the Japanese search word would be?

If you love this, wait until you see some photos of Kozik's giant Belchor. You'll have a freakin' heart attack.
