I don't know if this is the place to ask this question but I was looking at a GE-09 Gamera and Jenny went crazy over it and wants to buy one. I could not find any video reviews on the character and I was wondering if any of you guys had one or have ever seen one? As far as I can tell its the The Bandai "SOG" line but I know nothing about it.... It may be a good idea for me to put a few Kaiju figures in my collection if they are any good. How big is it? SOC size? What else to they make in that line? I cant really find anything about that whole line.. it seems very interesting. What about the die cast content? I will definitely do a review on it if I get it.

Kaiju toys are cool, but they don't blend well with diecast, due to their organic designs. That diescast Gamera is a rare breed, similar to the gokin Gigan and Mecha Godzilla that came before. Just one-offs diecast toys due to the movies.
If you are serious in high end kaiju toys, look up the X-Plus 25cm & 30cm vinyl figure lines. They just released a very awesome 30cm Gamera 1999 figure a couple months back. No articulation, and cost an arm & a leg in some cases (if you miss the boat). But they are so cool that they will keep you staring at them all day long. Heck, I even bring them around the house and display at different spots under different lighting from time to time since they are big and sturdy, and you won't need to worry about floppy joints LOL. Diamond Comics are re-issuing some in upcoming months in U.S. at very good prices (way better than aftermarket price from Japan). Look them up if they pique your interest.

My girlfriend bought that Gamera for 60 bucks delivered. Should be here in a couple of weeks. Shes not real picky, she buys MST3000 stuff and Walking Dead PoP figures.. she wanted a die cast of her own after seeing mine. Ill do a video review of it once I get it.
