Revenge of the Retro Japanese Toy Adverts

That's a lot o' stuff! Minis are beautiful as always and I had no idea there were so many different finger puppets. The kitsch/mainstream/novelty items were great too; so many pop aspects of Japanese life I have no clue about.
Finally, if I had that Sailor Moon wand there would never be another Kia/Hyundai theft in my neighborhood.

 

Ok I want the Yamato and the little Ultraman Leo

 

Astro Operation looks fun.

 

Tell Santa that I'd gladly take the Tetsuwan Atom Boy! Very nice!

 

Beautiful as always!! Are those multiple mooks or just one? The toy shots are great!

 

Multiple. Here's more ...

wowsers. That's a lot; saw quite a few variants that I am not familiar with at all. Thank you!

 

This thread is always so rad. Appreciate the posts here!

Also, usually it's the toys that are super rad, but in this case I'm really taken with that background / dio for some reason. Fun stuff!

 

Great stuff, but the kid in the PeeWee suit with the bowl cut hair is outstanding! His light is almost too bright to bear!

 

Dinos and a whole spread of Gamera! It's like a preview of nerd paradise!

 

those slides and slippers; why don't they make adult sizes? Also, I had no idea that there was a Japanese version of Mousetrap!

 

Bullmark diecast for the win!

 

OK, I was hasty... enameled, printed and stamped tin is amazing too. Especially liked the illustration for the one man sub menaced by villain divers in clingy, black neoprene.
Look forward to these new selections so much! Thank you!

 

This kid is me every time this thread gets updated. Just sitting here eating my cinnamon poptarts doing the 2023 version of reading the back of the cereal box.
