I found this on the Comics Alliance website: YouTube link It's produced by Studio Ghibli, and is evidently a prequel of sorts to "Nausicaa". It was directed by Shinji Higuchi. Ron |

. . . Aaaand Tokyo cops it hard _again_. :/ Seriously good FX for the "animation" studio though. |

Cool. Another one to add to the watch list when it comes out. |

I think this is a 12" figure on Amazon. link
The three inch gashapon version has no feet. |

Wow, a Nausicaa prequel would be pretty amazing. -Will |

Where is my post? Arrrrggggg TMP bug! lol "Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru" (Giant God Warriors Appear in Tokyo) is a short Tokusatsu movie created as a promotional video for the "TOKUSATSU – Special Effects Exhibition" at "TOKUSATSU – Special Effects Museum", which has Anno Hideaki (Eva's director) as museum director, in Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. The movie was proposed to be shown with "Evangelion 3.0" by Suzuki Toshio and Anno Hideaki agreed with that. As a movie version, its pictures and sounds will we re-modified and it has the total length of 10:07 minutes. The movie features "Kyoshinhei" (Giant God Warriors) from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and it was made to show the fascination and the fun of Miniature Tokusatsu"
A remake (by the same people) keeping true to the original in the above noted format and style would be most appreciated.
I would be willing to offer up the soul of my wife's dog for such a thing to happen…both dogs if sooner than later. Just saying… :) |

Hmm, Tokyo is full of people taking cell phone pictures (when they should obviously be running for their lives), but yet when the destruction starts, the city is stark empty! |

The link is dead.  |

tberry7403,
I found another site with the video, if you still want to see it. link I'm tempted to try sculpting one, the weird proportions and ropey flesh should match up well with my questionable sculpting skills.  28mmMan,
You're not alone, I'd also kill puppies for a well made remake of Nausicaa (especially if it was based on the excellent manga series). |

Whoa whoa whoa…I said nothing of killing puppies…I was just willing to offer their souls…when they were done with them I would hope. :) |

Sadly, I'm almost 100% certain that Japanese animation studios are not powered by either puppies or their souls. There's some evidence that uniformed schoolgirls may be what keeps them running, but that's just speculation on my part. A Nausicaa prequel, sequel, or spinoff would be most welcome, regardless. |
