In poking around on the web to learn more about Hanuman and the 7 Ultramen (the above poster), found this review over on Teleport City and then on the author's blog, Die, Danger, Die, Die, Kill!, a five part article on Sompote Saengduenchai, aka Sompote Sands, the Thai version of Eiji Tsubaraya! Can't believe it too me that long to find this blog! These are really kooky flicks. I picked up a VCD of one in Bangkok and wish I could have seen these in the cinema in Thailand when they came up to see the little kids going nuts over seeing Hanuman team up with Ultraman and gang!Thai-style Kaiju: The films of Sompote Sands Part I

Glad you enjoyed the reviews, Colin. Believe it or not, this was actually a ten part series that I just wrapped up earlier this year. That's a whole lot of Sompote Sands, and not something that I'd recommend to anyone but those with a perverse fondness for giant puppet crocodile heads.
