Hello, everyone! I'm back with another underrated gem for you all to enjoy: Gorgo! If you're not familiar with this monster, here's what you need to know:

Appearing in the 1961 British film of the same name, Gorgo is a huge prehistoric reptilian beast standing between 50 and 60 feet tall that was awakened by underwater volcanic activity. After briefly terrorizing the natives of Nara Island, it was captured, taken to London, and put on display in a local circus. Scientists studying the creature came to the conclusion that it was actually no more than a baby, a theory that was proven true when its angry 200-plus foot mother, Ogra, came looking for him, leaving a trail of death and destruction in her wake. Upon finding him, both monsters returned to the sea.

Since then, both monsters have made numerous comic book appearances, but have yet to return to film. In his early days, John Carpenter himself made a Godzilla vs Gorgo fan film, but he hasn't released it to the public and likely never will.

Today, Gorgo is all but forgotten. But that hasn't stopped a company called Titanic Creations from making an articulated figure for the monster and officially adding it to their ongoing and ever-expanding kaiju universe. Soon, a graphic novel will be released to solidify this and introduce the world to Gorgo's father.

If you're wondering what abilities Gorgo and his mother have, you might be a little disappointed because apart from being very strong and durable enough to withstand even atomic bombs. After said bombs hit them, Gorgo gained the ability to breathe fire, albeit briefly.

As for the stk, there isn't much to say, except that there's a side view, which has thumbs separate from the arms, and a front view, in which all of the fingers are separate. Also, since Gorgo and his parents all look alike, this stk can be used to portay multiple monsters. Have fun with it!
