In some exciting news from across the pond, Arrow Films announced earlier in the year they have plans to bring the Gamera franchise to the UK on home video for the first time in 2020. A recent article from NEO magazine has shed some light on what will be included on the set.

According to the article, the blu-ray set will feature all 12 films from the kaiju turtle’s cinematic library – stretching from 1965’s Gamera the Giant Monster all the way up to 2006’s Gamera the Brave. Additionally, the Heisei trilogy (1995’s Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, 1996’s Attack of Legion and 1999’s Revenge of Iris) will all be presented in new 4K masters.

Further details and pricing for the set are yet to be confirmed, however it is slated for release some time in the summer. Stay tuned to Tokunation for more news as it comes!

It’s that time of month again, for a release of Tamashii Picup images for upcoming products from Tamashii Nations! This week sees the release of preview images for two very different monsters.

S.H. Monsterarts Gamera (1999), as we reported on yesterday, is based on the creatures’ appearance in the third film of the Heisei trilogy, Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris. The biggest draw of this release of course being the new translucent orange arm from the climax of the film. Gamera (1999) will be released in October 2018, as a retail release, for 10,800 yen.

Although the S.H. MonsterArts line has remained a strictly Godzilla-affair for sometime now, it looks like everyone’s favourite child-friendly turtle will be joining the line once again with the announcement of S.H. MonsterArts Gamera [1999]!

Based on the monster’s appearance from the third film in the Heisei Gamera trilogy, Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris, Gamera [1999] is a remould of the original MonsterArts Gamera figure featuring a new spiked shell to match the movie suit. The magazine images confirm that the alternate flight parts from the previous release will be carried over, together with a brand new alternate translucent orange right arm – recreating the final scenes of the movie where Gamera defeats Iris with a fiery plasma fist.

S.H. MonsterArts Gamera [1999] will be a mass release item released in October 2018 for the price of 10800 yen. Be sure to check out the full-sized image and let us know your thoughts after the jump!
