The original hero in a half-shell returns this summer, as Arrow Video has announced and unveiled Gamera: The Complete Collection, which collects all twelve tales in one deluxe, 8-disc Blu-ray boxset for the first time ever worldwide!
The collection is now up for pre-order and will release in the United Kingdom on July 27th, 2020 and a day later in the United States and Canada on July 28th.
"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."
Extras include:
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!
Final specs will be confirmed soon. You can pre-order now from Amazon in the US, Arrow Video in the UK and Unobstructed View in Canada.
