Marusan Guiron マルサン ギロン

Standard size, 1998 version...












From Wikipedia...

Guiron was from the 1969 movie commonly referred to as Gamera vs. Guiron, the fifth entry in the Gamera series. Guiron (or "Guillon" - named for "guillotine"), was a giant quadrupedal dinosaur-like monster with a head shaped like a long knife. Along the knife is a hole that shoots small magnetic shurikens.

"Plot summary: Two boys, Akio and Tom, spy in their telescope a spaceship that descends into a nearby field. With Akio's little sister in tow, they bicycle out the next day to investigate. The boys accidentally take off to a Counter-Earth, while Tomoko is left behind, unable to convince any adults (except kindly but eccentric police officer Kondo) of the boys' misadventure. On the icebound planet Terra, the boys encounter two beautiful but sinister alien women and the monster Guillon, who effortlessly dices a Space-Gyaos with its knife-blade head. Gamera eventually tracks the boys to the ice planet and battles Guillon while the boys try to avoid being served up for dinner by their hungry hosts."

Strange, but true!!! Torutos by Marusan マルサン

Torutos. Another figure from the Marusan Original Monster Series. Standard size. For more pictures and information about the Original Monster Series, see prior posts regarding Baron, Dorango, Bamer, and Dargle.

What is it? A turtle, a lobster, a tree...? There is something about these somewhat simple and less-refined sculpts in this series that I like very much.

Baron Monster by Marusan マルサン

This is from the "Original Monster Series" created and designed by Marusan Toy Co. in the early 1970's to avoid the requirements that applied to Tsuburaya licensed properties and other licensed kaiju figures of the time.

It is made from red vinyl with metallic paint and is about 9.25 inches long.

This is a 1997 reproduction of the original 1970 Baron figure.

I will post pictures of some of the other monsters from this Marusan series later.

Giant Marusan Hedorah and Giant Marusan Godzilla (both mentioned in an earlier post) in action...

Fire Hedorah (Custom by H. Lee Porter)

First, to provide some sense of scale for the Giant Marusan Hedorah (16 inch) (and the Giant Godzillas) shown in a previous post, here is the Giant Hedorah standing next to a standard-sized (9 inch) Marusan Hedorah. Both the giant and the standard are based on an original Marusan vintage style sculpt. The big guy was released in 2006; the standard guy in 2004.

But more important, the standard Hedorah shown here was custom painted in a "molten" or "fire" style by H. Lee Porter, a talented painter and kaiju toy customizer hailing from Seattle. You can see his excellent work by following the link to his site included in my list of favorite sites on this blog. Also, there will be a feature article about Lee and his quality custom painted kaiju figures in an upcoming issue of PlayTimes Magazine, a Singapore toy publication with world-wide distribution. I am really looking forward to that! [Update: PlayTimes Magazine decided to stop publishing just after the article about Lee's custom work was scheduled to appear. Too bad! But the article may yet see the light of day in another magazine... ]

Here are a couple more pics of this great custom by Lee... Burn, baby, burn!!!
