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

 Re: Ultraman monster Vera? ベラ
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).

 Re: Ultraman monster Vera? ベラ
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. viewtopic.php?f=30&t=16572&hilit=Marusan

 Re: Ultraman monster Vera? ベラ
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...

Hey, we're not any common cockroaches -- we're the space roaches from GODZILLA VS. GIGAN! Future_Man wrote: damn pickle, do you own this mutha? he looks so awesome!!! 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.
