This Bare Model figure was a mail away offer from Hyper Hobby Magazine released in 2000, stands around thirteen inches tall and came with
a ferris wheel & mini-kemur seijin just like in classic UltraQ scene.

The mysterious Kemur Seijin ( ケムール人 ) or Kemurujin or Kemur-being, first appeared on the screen in 1966's UltraQ ( ウルトラQ )series, this alien had one of the most weird but cool designs, especially the head, with 3 eyes, 2 infront and 1 behind, one of my favourites though.....

Here is a Purple Marmit standard sized Kemur Seijin, kinda nice colour scheme and with the straight standing pose perfect for displaying with your Yamanaya Ultras.

Kemur also made a very brief appearance in 1967’s Ultraman Episode #33 “The Forbidden World”,after being summoned by the evil Mephilas Seijin...
Though Kemur II was on screen for about 2 seconds the first time iwe ever see him in color


For Ultraman’s final episode Episode #39 ” Farewell Ultraman” ,
apparently the producers decided to bring Kemur Seijin back renamed as Zton Seijin (the very alien controlling Zton) and not as a Giant Alien terrorizing the cities, he's back as a sabotuer alien disguised as human being and when the ultra-team found out, we get to see Kemur Seijin's head in a suit running away.

whats a Kanegon?

カネゴン

Kanegon ( カネゴン ), one of the most popular  kaiju from the vintage 1966's tokusatsu TV series Ultra Q ( ウルトラQ ) Kanegon appeared in Episodes #15 Kanegon's Cocoon. Here's a standard sized 9" Yamanaya Kaiju Box Kanegon Vinyl figure.

The story is bizarre and surreal with some good lessons in life. A giant monster who has large clam-shaped purse head with zippered mouth and loves to eat coins. Kanegon stands 2 meters in height and weighs 200kgs, this monster didn't become a giant and smashed cities.

The story revolves a small boy who doesn't save money, oneday wakes up as Kanegon and has to eat coins to survive. Making him more thrifty after the ordeal. Though he assume everything was ok, he then realised his parents also became kanegons....

Kanegon's not the coolest monster around but he's easily the most iconic and famous monster in Japan tokusatsu history.
