I love Gamera too. He was a childhood favorite of mine. I named my RES Gamera my kids call her Myrtle.I bought the classic Gamera movies for the kids to watch with me but they thought it was torture. Kids these days. I will torture them some more when Gamera comes out at the movie theaters this year.
Yes there is the issue of flames coming out of the back legs, it's what you read into it. I love Gamera movies, people can read anything into anything. the new Gamera movie should be awesome! Getting back to my Gamera, she's the most outgoing turtle, she comes to you even when she's not hungry! Pugsley has a smooth shell, I think he's a gulf coast mix, not sure though. I love their plain colored shells, shows the ring marks better, even if Pugsley doesn't have any. lol
