The Suit Maker's Own Gamera
A head model is about presence, and this one carries the authority of the man who built the original suits. The two-layer eye gives it unsettling life. It is the definitive desk-scale tribute to Heisei Gamera.
Best for: Heisei Gamera and tokusatsu effects collectors

The head of Heisei Gamera at full presence, about forty centimetres tall on its display stand: a painted cast-resin model made by CCP Japan with Tomoo Haraguchi, the artist who built the Gamera suits of the 1990s.
The Piece
Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (Daiei, 1995) rebooted the giant turtle as a serious, armoured guardian, and the suit made for it by Tomoo Haraguchi's effects workshop became the defining modern Gamera. Released for the character's 60th anniversary, this head model returns to that origin: CCP describes the master as developed by Haraguchi himself from a pattern taken from the same mould as the screen suit.
What you see is the 1995 head as the camera knew it: the cracked, stony slate-grey skin with paler highlights at every ridge, the hooked upper lip, the upturned tusks in horn-gold, a mouth of rust-red gums and pale teeth, and the eye, built in two layers so the green-gold iris seems to sit deep beneath a clear lens. The head is mounted on a round black backplate and a stepped stand, so it reads like a trophy on a shelf or desk.
