BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THIS ITEM IT WILL SHIP MEDIA MAIL IN THE US

The original hero in a half-shell returns! For the first time ever worldwide, all twelve tales of the adventures of everyone’s favourite titanic terrapin are collected together in one deluxe Blu-ray boxset. This limited edition collectors’ set traces the decades-long evolution of Gamera, from the “friend of all children” in his more light-hearted earlier films, to the Guardian of the Universe in the groundbreaking 1990s reboot series, often hailed as three of the best kaiju films ever made.

• Limited collectors’ edition packaging, housed in a large-format rigid box, fully illustrated by Matt Frank

• All twelve uncut original Japanese versions of the films in high definition, with lossless Japanese and English audio

• 4K restorations of the critically acclaimed Heisei trilogy (Gamera the Guardian of the Universe, Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris)

• Hours of new and archive bonus features, expert commentaries (including August Ragone, David Kalat, and Steve Ryfle & Ed Godziszewski), interviews with cast and crew, and the worldwide Blu-ray premiere of Gammera The Invincible (the American theatrical version of the first film)

• Hardback 120-page comic book including a full-color reprint of the four-issue Gamera comic series originally released by Dark Horse Comics in 1996, and the first-ever English-language printing of the prequel comic “The Last Hope” by Matt Frank and Joshua Bugosh

• Perfect-bound 80-page book including a new retrospective on the series by Patrick Macias, kaiju X-ray illustrations by Jolyon Yates, and much more!

Day 1 buy

MIWinfamous · 02-12-2020, 08:44 PM

Apparently it is indeed coming to both us/can and the uk. Time to sell my sets now while I can still get some money for them.

EDIT: I should have clicked on the two links. LOL I’m just so excited.

Damonstein · 02-12-2020, 08:51 PM

The mill creek set goes for quite a bit. try to get rid of it now.

The Geek · 02-12-2020, 09:26 PM

Why are my pants so tight right now?

Because of this news. Fudge yeah.

MifuneFan · 02-12-2020, 09:29 PM

It seems pretty fitting that two Kaiju franchises from competing studios would be released by two competing boutique labels

Monterey Jack · 02-13-2020, 01:19 AM

Gamera is really neat! He is filled with turtle meat!

Janjira54 · 02-13-2020, 01:37 AM

This is officially getting a NA and Canada release.

Very, very cool news! Thanks for posting this!

Between the original Mill Creek blus and the MST3k DVD set Shout! put out, this will be the third time getting the originals... but I'll be even more eager to see what Arrow can do with the 90s trilogy; those are personal favorites of mine!

fred25_Ca · 02-13-2020, 12:55 PM

I sold my shout! Dvds when I got the Mill Creek blu rays and always regretted the lack of extras on the Mill Creek releases. This Arrow release should be the definitive version. Time to sell my entire Gamera collection before they become obsolete!

only the 3rd LOL i wish i was that lucky.

starsteam · 02-13-2020, 06:35 PM

I started off with Alpha/Retro/Whatever Video releases, upgraded to the Shout Factory DVDs, had fan copies of the MST3K versions and upgraded those to the Shout Factory set and got copies of the KTMA episodes, and then upgraded again with the Mill Creek Blu-ray.
Just how many more times in my life am I going to binge through all of the Gamera films back-to-back?

But this release will probably be the be-all end-all edition, sans MST3K versions.
Actually, considering how Shout Factory usually includes the MST3K version as a bonus feature when they release one of those films, maybe they should make a deal with Arrow to include them since the DVD set is OOP and Shout is probably never going to get the rights back. They did it for Film Detective's release of Eegah.
