whats the story withe these two characters? are they from a show?
i dig guiron.

Showa Gamera villains. They kick much ass...the MST3k episodes of the Sandy Frank English dubs of these movies are a hoot!

Oh, and it's actually "Guiron".

they are foes of gamera from the gamera movies of Gamera vs. Guiron and Gamera vs Viras.

and cool little dudes to boot....

marusan and marmit have had some nice versions.....

edit......oops, sanjeev beat me to the punch.....

actually its giron ギロン

Yeah, I've always found that romanization suspect....honestly, I forget how it sounds in the English dub. And I simply don't have the original film (with Japanese dialog)!

But as for toys, the Marusans are fantastic. My fucking kingdom for their glowie Jiger!!

thanks guys for the info.

seriously? you really need to watch these..

find them @ half price books pretend you are 5 years old again
and that these films are factual accounts of past events.

because they are!


you will enjoy them.

Marusan glow Giron, Jiger, & Zigra. Don't have the Barugon. Did Marusan do a glow Viras?

the next thing you know you're going to tell me they make movies based on Godzilla toys . crazy talk

Love the sculpt on the Marusan Zigra. Been looking for one of those.

As a Gamera fan since small times I have to say there are some veeeeery nice toys in this thread

I am humbled by your greatness.

And more than a little jealous!

My kingdom for one of these guys!

These Marusan sculpts are great and the glow makes them even better. Some Marusan glows are limited but what are the production runs on these?
The glow Yog kaiju are nice and I think the Ganime crab was even more limited than the Gezora and Kameba, is that the case? Please enlighten me. I've been looking for all three of these as well as the Marusan glow Gubira (the narwhal kaiju from Ultraman).

Plastichunter, I think that clear Giron is the Princess Street exclusive and not too long ago they could be had on YJA for around 3000 yen.

Aww...plastichunter, that clear Guiron was ALL over Y!J for a while for cheap dough [Edit: I just went back and watched part of the MST3k of Gamera vs Guiron...in the English dub anyway, it's definiltely pronounced gee-ron]. I picked one of them up a while back when supplies seemed to start running thin. It's easily one of the most beautiful clear vinyl pieces I've ever seen.

Perfectly suitable for filling with glow gravel!






Gah, the irony, dude. You have the glow Jiger, that I'm pretty much willing to kill or sleep with whomever you want me to for...but *I* have the Yog set!

Yeah, the Gezora seems tough to come by, you could practically trip over the Kameba...but you pretty much had to sell your firstborn to get the Ganime. I'm still trying to figure out how I scored mine!

Honestly, I don't know the production runs on these pieces. Weird that they're clearly not equal.

Damn, Sanjeev!

Nice pics of some beautiful glows!

I don't get it either. For such a small set (3 Yog figures) you'd figure the the production runs would be the same.
I think you outbid me on the Ganime when Shado-x was selling it on eBay
That one stings, I didn't know it is so limited. I like it 'cause it's a beautiful vinyl.

Thanks for sharing Sanjeev, and Plastichunter, there are still a few clear Girons to be had on YJA. Cheers all!

BALLS!! That was you!?

Fuckin'-ay, man...I remember that--I was out in San Diego for Comicon when I saw that fucker pop up. Soooo much vinyl that week...

Well, not that you probably need any help from me, but I always keep my eye out for glowies--if I come across another, I'll PM ya!
