Will be buying one in a few weeks. You know, I loved the old Toho movies as a kid as well, but when I was in my late teens/early twenties I grew out of them. Now, ten years later, I have fallen in love again. There is a store here in Chicago called Monster Island Toys and they carry the Japanese versions of every single Kaiju film ever made. I love that place. We also have G-Fest here every 4th of July weekend. You guys should check it out sometime as it is quite awesome. I met Haruo Nakajima last year. He was such a cool guy. Hey Sanjeev, have you ever seen the film War of the Dragons/The Magic Serpent? Very cool movie. The battle at the end is awesome! Wow! I'm sold. Will be buying one in a few weeks.

Ha ha I have only learned of this vehicle about a month ago when I've been seeing the commemorative reissue model kit hitting the shelves and websites lately. It looked like my kind of ship with its 60's styling and crazy gimmicks. Thanks for sharing this piece, it's always great to shine a light on these more obscure vehicles, I think I'll pick up the model kit now. Cheers!
