Kaiyodo's Mega Soft Vinyl line exists to do such designs justice at a size that fills two hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the maker's own photograph shows, Gamera stands in a fighting crouch, jaws open on a red mouth lined with pale tusks, arms flexed and claws spread. The hide is a deep blue-green worked with darker shading through every fold and plate, the shell is ridged and scuted, and the plastron and claws are picked out in warmer tones. The sculpt is credited to Yuji Sakai, among the most respected names in kaiju modelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example has never been opened: the figure remains inside its maker's shipping carton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kaiyodo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mega Soft Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gamera (1996 design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gamera 2: Advent of Legion (1996)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSculptor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yuji Sakai, as credited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft vinyl, painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e large scale; please ask the Desk for the exact height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e unopened shipping carton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew and unused; shipping carton unopened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure itself has not been inspected outside the carton.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure photograph is the maker's own; every photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eN (new, unused)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChecked in Japan before dispatch.
