On January 25th, Arrow are bringing us this new fantastic looking steelbook release of Gamera – The Heisei Trilogy.

Pre-orders are live now and we’ll add more links as we get them.

Pre-order: Zavvi | Amazon UK

After laying dormant for fifteen years, Gamera was rebooted for the big screen in a smash hit trilogy masterminded by director Shusuke Kaneko (Necronomicon), writer Kazunori Ito (Ghost in the Shell) and visual effects director Shinji Higuchi (who went on to co-direct Shin Godzilla). Trading the campy, kid-friendly surrealism of the earlier films for a darker, more realistic tone and jaw-droppingly innovative special effects, the Heisei Trilogy are still regarded today as among the best – and by some, the very best – kaiju films ever made.
