Acro is releasing the Kaiju Remix Series Seabozu, the Ghost Monster figure, part of the series of re-imagined Ultra kaiju. This vinyl figure stands approx. 33cm tall, sculpted by James Groman. 'ACRO proposed Seabozu as the next monster in the 'Kaiju Remix' series, following Red King.
As a child, I felt a little unsatisfied with Seabozu's somewhat childish and humorous gestures shown in the show. At the time, I preferred more ferocious monsters. However, at the same time, I was completely captivated by the strange and beautiful skeletal design created by Tsuburaya Productions.
And above all, I was strongly drawn to the somewhat gloomy and poignant setting that 'he just wanted to return to his grave.' It is this tragedy that makes Seabozu a more memorable presence as the most misunderstood monster. In this Remix, we have added a new interpretation to Seabozu's emotions and poses. 'What if Seabozu was furious at being forcibly brought back from the monster graveyard?' 'What if he was a monster that had brought as much destruction as possible to humanity, and was finally about to return to eternal sleep?' I was strongly drawn to these ideas, and I reflected that image in the pose.
I wanted to express him roaring and challenging humanity, yet with his gaze slightly up to the sky, somehow aware of the place where he will ultimately return. I am truly happy that this figure has turned out so wonderfully. And I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to release this work to the world together with ACRO.
I hope that you can feel even a little of the joy and passion we felt while creating this work.' - James Groman Don't miss your chance to add this Seabozu Vinyl Collectible to your Ultraman and Kaiju Remix Series collection today!
