NCS Product Synopsis
Update: March 2, 2006
«©NCSX» Forty years ago, an enormous bug-eyed turtle stunned audiences with its debut in the movie Daikaiju Gamera. The Daiei movie studio originally embarked on a movie about giant rats invading Tokyo and rodents were brought in for principal photography. However, Daiei's rat attack cinematic plans were scrapped when gangs of fleas from the rats infested the studio and production stopped. Rats and their fleas were all summarily discarded and the script was tossed. The movie sets had been built and it would have been a waste to disassemble them.

Daiei crew sat down and thought about what was more terrifying than giant rats and came up with a turtle. One monstrous turtle. Jackpot and eureka, the company's collective light bulbs lit up - the most logical monster to terrorize Tokyo would be a rubber turtle. A rubber turtle which had the wherewithal to stand on its hind legs and roar like Lion King. The rest, as they say, is history.

Nine standard monsters are randomly packaged inside the Gamera toy cartons along with 1 secret beast. The figures measure 10cm and ship in candy toy boxes at US$6 each.
