Monster of the Day #734

One more of these beauties, you can’t waste ’em. You have to love the eclectic tastes the Baker boys have in choosing their subjects. I can only assume they will complete the pair and do Tennessee Tuxedo next.

I actually have a copy of this movie floating around somewhere, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. I’ll have to dig that out.

    Ahhhh, that’s one Japanese monster movie I still haven’t seen (sniff). Great work as usual on all the detail there, I love the feet and flippers.

    Had to see an original print copy to get that scene. GORATH is a fun flick.
    And having just seen some PACIFIC RIM stuff on Youtube…yeah, I’m feelin’ good.

  • Eric Hinkle

    That’s the GORATH monster, right? Odd we never saw Walrusasaurus fight it out with Godzilla.

    I am only going to ask for my bucket back once

    Yep. He also appears on an episode of ULTRA-Q. I’m not sure why Kyle picked a monster so few Americans have ever seen, but it’s the one he wanted to do! He did learn, though, that quadruped monsters are more of a pain than a pleasure. He nearly collapsed doing the walk through in the parade!

  • Rock Baker

    Thanks a heap, Ken, for this honor! Let me know if you ever want to do a week of monsters from the Dinosaur Girl strip!

  • Ken_Begg

    Ultra Q is coming out on an official American release next month.

  • Ken_Begg

    Ha, I shall!

  • Rock Baker

    Just tell me they’re including that one dubbed episode as an extra!

  • Flangepart

    Air holes in the neck! Tradition!

  • Eric Hinkle

    Hey, the obscure monstrosities need love too. And he looks great.

  • The Rev.

    …Ken, I swear to all that is unholy, if you are joking about that, I will hurt you. It would be too cruel.

    If you’re not…then first, I want to know how I’ve missed this news prior, and second, the releasers need to shut up and take my money.

    HyperGodzilla is probably still my favorite (IT BLINKS!!!!), but this nearly edges it just for the fact that I have not seen anyone do a Magma suit before. Magnificent.

    As mentioned, the suit reappears as Todora, a monster from another dimension, in Ultra Q episode 27. It sounds like it’s similar to “The Odyssey of Flight 33” from The Twilight Zone, except instead of flying over a dinosaur and 1939 America they end up in a cloud and have to run from a giant walrus monster.

    I’m hoping to snag it free for my 50th birthday later this year. I’ve nudged it by making it the only “highest” item.

  • The Rev.

    Holy shit, you’re turning 50??? I knew you were older than myself, but for some reason I thought you were in your mid-40s. I gotta say, you don’t look it, buddy!

  • Ken_Begg

    All the fat pressing out keeps wrinkles from developing. Next…on Dr. Oz!

    Most of them do blink, actually, since that feature went over so big with Godzilla. Magma here is just about the only one of the G-Fest costumes not to blink, because it was built for simplicity. The mouth movements are controlled by Kyle bobbing his head back and forth!

  • The Rev.

    Well, that was the first one I saw blink; plus, it’s Godzilla.
