    Gaiking movie?

    Man, live action Shogun Warriors!! If this really happens, we'll get to see Shoguns in the toy aisle again.
    Hey folks, Harry here with an exclusive that really makes my heart soar! SHOGUN WARRIORS are a staple from a Seventies childhood. Remember this: I certainly do. The reason I landed this exclusive is that 10 years ago I wrote about the dream...

      Holy crap, I think I just wet myself. This could be awesome! And Gaiking is one of my favourites too. Wow, just wow!

      And the same article mentions that Del Toro is going to adapt "At the Mountains of Madness" and shoot on location in Antarctica?? This guy seems as nuts as Werner Herzog to try something like that, but as a Lovecraft fan, I'm really looking forward to this too.

        Interesting that they chose Gaiking. He was certainly one of the coolest but is he one of the more high profile? Mazinger and Getter Robo were certainly more popular and better known if they are choosing candidates for a live-action treatment.

        I would also think that Grandizer/Golderak had a much higher international presence, particularly in Europe.

        Although I guess with Gaiking, Toei can duck the royalties to Go Nagai?

          Somebody just ressurected the Shogun Warriors name and toy line at this years toyfair, so I guess, wish granted.

            One of these days I will get around to replacing my 2ft Mazinger and Godzilla from when I was a kid. Transformers was OK, but I can actually identify with this one.

              well supposedly though titled Gaiking, several others who are kept under wraps for now are supposed to be making some sort of appearance

                And the sequel will be called Shogun Warriors.
