Keronia Update

Many thanks to Mark Nagata (Max Toy Co) for providing this image of the Bearmodel Keronia figures from the Hyper Hobby Mook dash 6 (published in 2001). Based on this picture, I suspect (but am still not completely sure) that the figure I have as shown in a prior post is the unpainted green on the far right. Someone must have painted in the eyes and the red mouth.

I would appreciate it if someone could provide the english translation for the Japanese next to the unpainted green figure (as well as next to the other two Keronias).

Keronia ケロニア by Bearmodel ベアモデル (Help! See below.)

This is Keronia, alias the “plant monstrous beast” or the “sucking bug plant.” Keronia appeared in Episode 31 of the Ultraman ウルトラマン TV series, entitled “Who Has Come?”




























Keronia Fun Fact: Ultramans’s “Ultra Attack Beam” (ウルトラアタック光線 Urutora Attakku Kōsen) was a very rare power used only once against Keronia in Episode 31 when the Specium Ray had failed him. What is the “Ultra Attack Beam”? By focusing energy from his left hand into a spiral energy beam around his right arm, then directing the energy at a target creature, Ultraman could induce a temporal stasis, in effect paralyzing the target.

(I need some help on this one. I have not been able to find any pictures or information about the Bearmodel Keronia in this colorway. This one is green vinyl without any apparent paint on the body, except for the eyes which are painted silver and black, and the mouth which is painted red (appropriate for a blood sucking plant!). I bought it on US eBay from a seller located in Japan – it did not include the bag or header. Does anyone know anything about this version? It has the appropriate markings on the bottom of its feet… Any help would be greatly appreciated!)
