Title:
Gamera ( Bandai / 1996 )
Description:
Bandai 1996 Plasma Gamera 1996 Theater Exclusive 8” Scale Figure (also listed as Plasma Gamera 1996) is an 8-inch soft vinyl figure released by Bandai in 1996 as a theater exclusive alongside the Japanese release of Gamera 2: Attack of Legion.
The “Plasma” variant was designed to resemble Gamera in the film’s Ultimate Plasma energy state, with translucent/colored vinyl and standout paint to mimic the charged-up look right before he unleashes his signature attack in the movie. 
• Movie Tie-in: Official toy tied to Gamera 2: Attack of Legion (1996). 
• Theater Exclusive: This version was sold at movie theaters during the film’s run — making it rarer than regular retail Bandai releases. 
• Translucent/Plasma-Style Vinyl: The figure uses colored/translucent vinyl with a fiery palette (reds, oranges, blues) meant to evoke Gamera’s Ultimate Plasma energy buildup — a key visual from the finale. 
• Pose & Sculpt: An older Bandai sculpt typical of the mid-90s Movie Monster Series — it’s more “statue-like” and dynamic but limited in articulation compared to modern figures.

💡 Rarity & Collectibility
Because it was limited to theaters and released in 1996, this variant is considered rare and collectible by kaiju figure enthusiasts. Listings for this figure — even used — often show it commanding higher prices than standard Gamera figures, reflecting its scarcity. 
Collectors often seek this version specifically for its unique deco and as a piece of Gamera 2 history, since it visually captures the climactic moment from the film in figure form.
