BANDAI SPIRITS Collectors Division TAMASHII NATIONS, Japan, known for its 'S.H.MonsterArts' series which combines exquisite monster sculpting with outstanding articulation technology, has announced the commercialization of the new 'Legion' from the film 'Gamera 2: Attack of Legion'. The release date is yet to be determined.
The formidable foe Legion, which battled Gamera in the film, is a "silicon-based lifeform" that descended to Earth with a meteorite. Its appearance closely resembles terrestrial arthropods. Its carapace can reflect electromagnetic waves, and its joints utilize high-pressure oxygen for movement, possessing powerful reproductive capabilities. While individual creatures are typically 1 to 2 meters tall, the Queen Legion boasts an impressive overall length of 160 meters. Its head features 10 sharp interference wave claws capable of emitting various electromagnetic waves, neutralizing Gamera's fireballs. Furthermore, it can spread its large horns on either side of its mouth to converge microwaves and unleash a powerful beam.
A prototype of "S.H.MonsterArts Legion" was previously showcased at the recent [TAMASHII NATION 2024] event. Compared to its adversary, the Gamera (1996) Sendai Decisive Battle Ver. (14 cm tall), it boasts a significantly larger size. Its highly organic sculpting and coloring faithfully reproduce the milky-white carapace and the orange-red abdomen/ovipositor, creating an incredibly powerful presence. The upper body also reveals intricate articulation splits, hinting at the impressive range of poseability that can be expected from the final product.
