"I was just a kid when I first saw the great 1954 film "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (an anaglyph 3D film!) at my local cinema.
For weeks after watching the film, the images stayed in my head and I was dying to talk to someone about it. I was fascinated by the design and shape of the Creature from the Black Lagoon and its rubber suit. Years passed and I had the opportunity to create a sea creature inspired by "Creature from the Black Lagoon". At the time, my career in toy design was starting to be recognized and I was able to spend time creating my own Gill Beast. I showed the finished work to various companies and was excited to see ACRO, a company that sells soft vinyl products in Japan, show great interest. I have been familiar with ACRO's amazing lineup of remixed ultra monsters (Kaiju Remix Series). The title of this work is "Namazu", the Lord of the Deep Sea, which is a legendary creature in various parts of Japan, and is said to cause earthquakes and tsunamis. In folklore, the giant catfish is feared by people as a very ferocious and terrifying beast...but finally, the true form of "Gill Beast: Namazu" is revealed!" James Groman.
