Whoa, that guy is huge.
And what's the info on that Camel box?
Looks vintage.

If I am not mistaken (I back from a night of drinking) is from Marusan's "Ultra Kaiju" line, of original kaiju and their rival, Ulra Ace (no relation to Ultraman Ace).

The original vintage figure shows up periodically on YJA while the re-issue, like the one in the picture you've posted, shows up all the time for pretty cheap. Awesome figure - I really like the back too. It's like his back is made of a big pile of clunky rocks or something.

Here's a thread on this guy along with a picture of the original.

Yup, it's a Marusan original character. Such a primitive chunky sculpt. Very cool.

The sculpt is crude as fuck... brilliant. The eyes spell hell.

I got sick of looking at these when I worked at Kimono My House nine years ago -- plus, nobody wanted these poor bastards. But, now... :roll:

I wonder if Yuki still has these sitting in the storeroom of KMH (I haven't been there in a while to visit him)? Unless Mike Johnson bought all of them -- I know I wasn't able to stuff them all down my pants when I worked there. :lol:
