 Yamanaya Battleship Kaiju... This thing is off the charts sick! Dennis (Baiken) and I bought the first two, and there was a huge line after us that took care of the rest of their stock in minutes. Pictures do not do this guy justice. He is about the size of a standard figure and the Metallic paint job is fantastic. Best toy of the show in my opinion. I can't wait to get this baby home, so I can dunk him in the tub.

He does seem awsome, I pre-ordered with S7 and can't wait to see him in person, I kinda wish I had bought the metallic long-neck that was also availible. It looked really sweet too.

It really is a nice piece. It reminds me of all those times while growing up in Hawaii, where I'd be in Longs drugs asking my mom if she could buy me all of those crazy baddass looking Bullmarks. But this time actually scoring one.

Can't wait for this to land... The 1st look at this had my brain go completely bonkers... Can't believe it has so much articulation.

Can we see a pic of it next to a different figure? Just for size comparison, super cool. I wish I could have pre-ordered it from S7 a few back but the money wasn't there.

I've seen models of this guy before. I passed on it because it doesn't really fit in with my collection goals, but now I kind of regret it.

Yeah, the articulation is crazy! The gun turrets all spin, and the legs move nicely into different poses. Bascially an aesthetically pleasing badass toy thats fun to play with. And apparently Baiken has already tested his in the tub and its passed the floating test.

Just ordered mine! Can't wait to see him.
I guess this monster was based on the original Ultraman comic and not the live action show. Battleship Yamamoto comes to mind

Battleship Yamamoto comes to mind I thought the same thing based not only on the battleship form but also the name "Yamato," but it seems that was the original name (?) Plus, it looks so Bullmark-y that I didn't think it was the result of a more recent source, especially since Yamanaya does do so many reissues of old Bullmark toys. The comic origin would explain why I can't find any images from Ultra Q or Ultraman.
I can't wait to have this bad boy in hand. He's gonna give the Dino-Tank regiment some naval reinforcement.

I got word it's from the Ultraman manga genius Kazumine Daiji (manga artist)

I've been searching on-line to see if I could find the original character or figure, but with no luck. Was this character originally in a Ultraman comic or book rather than the show?
