Shout! Factory is preparing two Gamera double features for release on September 21st – Gamera Vs. Gyaos / Gamera Vs. Viras and Gamera Vs. Guiron / Gamera Vs. Jiger. While there are no specific details yet for either release, the finalized cover art for each has been revealed. Looks good to me!
Both double features have a retail price of $19.93 (less than $10 per film) and can currently be pre-ordered through Amazon.com at a slightly discounted price:
Gamera Vs. Gyaos / Gamera Vs. Viras | Gamera Vs. Guiron / Gamera Vs. Jiger
They look pretty damn good, indeed!
Only weird nitpicky thing is why Gamera from the GUIRON pic looks like his SPACE MONSTER design. Eh, oh well – they look so pretty, I hardly care.
I want them NOW!!! (and I would especially love the ZIGRA/SPACE MONSTER set BEFORE 2011, but I guess I can deal…)
That is actually a very famous still of Gamera from “vs. Guiron” they’re using. It’s of the flying prop that comes in out of nowhere when Akio & Tom are in danger in the UFO.
The flying prop from “Super Monster” looks much different, with a smoother head and posed in clutching fingers, not straight ones.
