 Re: Gamepa Question
i think he's supposed to be some sort of turtle... his name is maybe a play on gamera?
a lesser released gargamel fight figure.... although they have released a couple lately in wrestling gear instead of the suit
or are you asking about that particular figure? (not the character)

 Re: Gamepa Question
I've seen a few of the gargamel gammepas in suits in solid colors. I assume the are proto's of some type. They certaintly aren't regular releases.
The other versions in the wrestlings outfits are up at s7.

 Re: Gamepa Question
the clear blue gid version (up on s7 now) is a must for anyone who digs the garg fights. the colors are excellent, which is strange, since normally i don't like gold on my toys....

Not so much a play on Gamera, but the japanese word for turtle;game (gah-may/gah-meh). You can tell he's a turtle by his wrinkly ass lips ...er beak  . One of my fave Gargamel. Love to cop that one in the pic.

I never really thought of the gameppa as a kind of kappa since it has no bowl of water on it's head. I do love the gameppa and wish i had started collecting when the first one's came out. Gameppa's frist appearance might be in 2004 at a Con. Not only would i love to see more gameppa figures, but i also want to see them in suits. Him and gargamess. I love the suit. It has a mafia feel to it.

 Re: Gamepa Question
Thanks guys! I had never seen this particular toy before and figured that someone here would know something about it...I think that every fight toy should have one "suit" sculpt---(especially SB, dammit!)...

 Re: Gamepa Question
The 2 most recent were the 08 Lucky Bag,  and the blue GID that came out a little over a month ago.  The blue one is still available. The LB has been in the For Sale section every now and then.
