Gamera Toto Figure

Depictions of Gamera in popular culture are normally of a gnarled and rugged monster equipped with tusks and a raggedy shell. Dark, dank, and seemingly musky, Gamera isn't cheery... even when he saved Akio and Tom from the Terrans in Gamera vs Guiron (1969). That is, until now.

Play Set Products releases a vinyl Gamera doll which features a rounded creature with bright eyes and a toothy smile. A quaint jagged shell that's colored a cheery yellow hue adorns the back of the strangely adorable creature and provides sharp contrast against its well-tanned hide. Gamera Toto measures 12cm tall and is priced at Y4800 or US$49 from NCS.
