Not Yeti Friday - Woo
Pacific Rim is out. And there's buzz about the Godzilla remake. Both feature giant kaiju. Though neither has the classic 'man-in-suit' aesthetic.
The most famous yeti kaiju is probably Woo from Ultraman.
Woo, you better count your lucky stars you don't live in a universe with Gamera, because NOBODY beats Gamera.
