From the first Gamera sequel, GAMERA VS. BARUGON (大怪獣決闘 ガメラ対バルゴン, Daikaijū Kettō: Gamera Tai Barugon, 1966), the frozen monster Barugon comes to the Daiei 30cm Series!
A legendary monster from New Guinea that is said to be reborn once every thousand years, Barugon can emit a deadly rainbow from his dorsal spines.

The X-Plus figure allows Barugon’s tongue to be displayed in his mouth or extended in attack posture.
Shonen-Ric is offering a Limited Edition version of Barugon with a built-in lighting function for the figure’s eyes and seven prism spines.
