This is not a Gamera figure. It’s a Gamera dessert. You can eat this.
Shoya Okamoto is a student at Otemae College of Confectionery in Japan, and he created this Gamera out of sweet bean paste, with food coloring mixed in to achieve the proper hues.

The dessert weighs around 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds) and took five days to complete.

No surprise that the edible sculpture won top prize at Okamoto’s confectionery school.
