SCI-FI REVOLTECH No. 004: BARAGON
Kaiyodo’s Subterranean Monster Figure
「特撮リボルテック SERIES No.004 バラゴン」発売中！
Kaiyodo, an Osaka-based hobby purveyor, and a prominent fixture in the Garage Kit movement, has become a player in the Japanese toy industry — establishing themselves with such great lines as Revoltech (articulated super robot figures from various Anime series) — has launched a new Revoltech line of figures from live action films and television series. These include such popular franchises as Batman, Alien, Predator, Nightmare Before Christmas, and also such classics as Ray Harryhausen’s Jason and the Argonauts. Of course, the Sci-Fi Revoltech line also includes characters and vehicles from Toho and Daiei’s famous monster movie franchises.
The first of these I will be reviewing, courtesy of Toy Freakz, is "Sci-Fi Revoltech No. 004: Baragon" — the subterranean monster from the 1965 Toho classic FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD, directed by Ishiro Honda with visual effects by helmed Eiji Tsuburaya. Like all of the entries in this new line, the smartly-designed packaging opens like a book (sealed with Velcro discs), containing an essay on the monster and the film on the inside, and on the opposite is a plastic window, revealing the figure and all of its accessories (including a RevolContainer with one RevolChip worth 10 Points — redeemable only in Japan).
Standing 4.33” high (or 7.87” long, from head to tail) this is an extremely detailed realization of Baragon (sculpted by the renown Paleoartist, Shinobu Matsumura), and comes complete and ready to display, with no interchangeable parts or add-ons necessary — but it does come with some clever accessories lifted referencing scenes from FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD. First of which is one of the mountaineering cabins of the fictitious Shirane Lodge, destroyed in Baragon’s entrance scene in film, with two trees for atmosphere, and a nameplate. Then there’s the horse. A horse? Why on earth is there a horse figure (with stand) in this set? “What’s up with that?” you might ask.
What’s great about this piece is the scene that it references from the film; after the destruction of the Shirane Lodge, Baragon attacks a small farm, and destroys a stable with a horse. The doomed animal was represented by a rod puppet, which was operated from beneath the miniature set, and looked exactly like… a rod puppet. When he was asked about this questionable technique by his assistant director, Teruyoshi Nakano, and why he employ a more realistic composite shot instead, veteran visual effects director Eiji Tsuburaya answered happily, “Because this is much more fun!” It’s a wry and very clever addition to this package by Kaiyodo.
Baragon itself is very nicely jointed, with 19 points of articulation, employing 13 Revoltech joints. Other articulated parts, such as the jaws and ears, do not employ Revoltech joints, while the neck is capable of an amazing amount of full-range movement. As for the arms, while the shoulders themselves are Revoltech-jointed, the wrists aren’t. Each leg has three points of articulation — the hip, the knee, and the foot — all Revoltech-jointed. An inner rod of flexible metal, inside of a long rubber-molded tail, allows some posing of this extremity (and is attached to a Revoltech joint inside the figure). Finally, Baragon’s signature glowing horn is simulated with frosted translucent plastic.
While I usually go for vinyl figures, I have been won over; this is a cool piece, from this excellent line, and will be a great addition to anyone’s monster collection (I’m looking forward to future releases) — and for those intimidated by the usually monstrous prices of most Japanese collectibles, the comparatively low cost of Kaiyodo’s Sci-Fi Revoltech line should keep you out of the poor house. For now…

“SPACE BATTLESHIP” SAILS INTO THE WORLD!
YAMATO Soars into #1 Spot at Box Office
ヤマト世界へ！キムタク「乗船して！」
©2010 SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO Production Committee
On December 1st, SMAP’s Takuya Kimura appeared on stage for the sold-out opening screening of Takashi Yamazaki’s highly anticipated movie, SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO, at Toho Cinemas Nichigeki 1, in Tokyo’s Yurakucho neighborhood (Chiyoda Ward). Record ticket sales pushed the film into the #1 position at the Japanese box office on its first day of release — sending YAMATO right into orbit.
The opening date of the film alone is already something special, because in new movies in Japan usually open on Saturdays. However, December 1st is considered “Movie Day” (Eiga-no Hi), and so the producers were able to make this release special occasion and release it before the weekend. Kimura was in very high spirits at the opening ceremony today, as he said, “I hope that everyone will board the Yamato!”
During the on-stage opening ceremony, Toho Company, the film’s domestic distributor, announced that six countries have already secured the rights to YAMATO. France, Germany, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong will soon be prepping SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO to bow in their own territories. In addition, Toho revealed that they have already received several offers from American distributors as well — it seems that Yamato is about to boldly go around the world.
Kimura then appealed to future international moviegoers with these words, “I want to say to them, ‘Please enjoy this SF movie made in Japan,’ and show them that the Yamato is a big enough ship for everyone!”
At the end of the opening ceremony, Toho also openly challenged the current #1 film at the Japanese box office, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART I, declaring, “We’re aiming to break the 8 Billion Yen ($95 Million USD) mark, and surpass HARRY POTTER by the end of the year.”
To date, Kimura’s greatest box office success was Masayuki Suzuki's HERO (2007), which raked in a total of approximately 8.6 billion Yen ($102 Million USD). Can the Yamato step up to this challenge?

GODZILLA CONQUERS MONSTERPALOOZA!
Haruo Nakajima Appearing in Burbank April 8-10
2011年春には、中島ゴジラ様はカリフォルニア州に来ている!

This coming spring, the man who played the original Godzilla — all the way from Japan — Haruo Nakajima, will stomp into Burbank for the third annual Monsterpalooza horror film celebration, taking place April 8, 9 & 10, 2011 at the Marriott Convention Center.
Taking up extra work at Toho Studios in the late 1940s, Mr. Nakajima appeared in numerous productions, including one of the bandits in Akira Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI (1954). After volunteering for the first Japanese fire stunt in the WW2 epic EAGLE OF THE PACIFIC (1953), the team prepping GODZILLA (1954) knew that he was the man for the job. From 1954 through 1972, Mr. Nakajima donned the heavy costumes to portray Godzilla, and a horde of other beasts, for film and television.
After 11 years, Mr. Nakajima will return to California to meet with his fans and sign autographs during the three-day Monsterpalooza event. He will also be speaking about his experiences in bringing these characters to life — including the various accidents and injuries he sustained while taking on the roles of Rodan, Varan, Baragon, Green Gargantua, and many other titanic terrors, as — arguably — the world’s foremost monster suit actor.
“Mr. Nakajima starred anonymously in one of the greatest movie franchises in history — from the somber allegories of the 1950s to the colorful monster mashes of the 1960s. For many westerners, these films stimulated an interest in Japan, with Godzilla serving as a surrogate cultural ambassador — largely thanks to his performances. Mr. Nakajima is a living legend, and bringing him to Monsterpalooza is an honor, and he’s looking forward to meeting American fans,” said August Ragone, author of Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters.
Monsterpalooza, organized by Eliot Brodsky, has quickly become the premiere gathering of fans of creature features in the US. Having hosted scores of actors from classic films, this will be the show’s first guest from Japan — a great opportunity for monster mavens to meet the one-and-only Godzilla himself, Haruo Nakajima — truly making this Monsterpalooza an international event!
There will also be Japanese monster toy and memorabilia vendors at the show — including Toyfreakz (California) and Clawmark Toys (Japan)! Those interested in vending at this historic show, should contact Monsterpalooza immediately — availability is extremely limited!
MONSTERPALOOZA 2011: The Art of Monsters, April 8-10, 2011, featuring award-winning Makeup FX Artists, Monster-related artwork displayed and sold, special presentations, a walk-through Monster Museum, and special guests from all realms of classic Horror and Sci-Fi Cinema!

DRESSING "SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO"
Original Costumes & Props on Display in Japan!
実写映画『SPACE BATTLESHIP ヤマト』の衣装や小道具だ！
Takuya Kimura plays the main character, Susumu Kodai.
This past Summer, a display of original costumes and props from the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of the seminal SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO was held at the Sanrio Puroland in Tokyo's Tama New Town suburb. Then, during the Summer edition of the WonderFestival (or "Wonfes") garage kit and toy show at Makuhari Messe, two of the original miniatures used in the film were on display. The Cosmo Tiger, is a rethinking of the Black Tiger space fighters from the first SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO (1974), which manages to retain the basic design sense, while the enemy Gamilas Fighter, an arthropod-like design, is a vast departure from the original. The costumes for Takashi Yamazaki's upcoming SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO, opening in Japan on December 1st, were adapted by Anri Jojo (ALWAYS: SUNSET ON THIRD STREET), who helmed the production design for the film.
