Revenge of the Retro Japanese Toy Adverts

The senses reel, the mind boggles; double boggles, actually.

 

Holy toledo that dude has GREAT taste. Even the OG giant Takkong is in there!

 

Models used in filming (from an exhibition booklet) . . .

 

You certainly have a great print collection; did you have to reinforce the flooring? Paper is heavy. Pix are beauties, though.

 

^^ Nope, not mine. I get most of the stuff for this thread from the far edges of the internet!
I do have a ridiculous amount of print but its all Manga / Graphic Novels / Cartoon Collections mostly . . .

 

2014

 

My town could never be that cool. We get Snoopy statues and a Mary Tyler Moore bronze.

 

^^ Haha, i'd love a Snoopy statue in my town!

 

@The Moog - Wow, thank you for posting this incredible collection. I always love seeing a Bullmark Hawaiian-spray Godzilla in any collection:



Also, check out the size of that vintage Marusan on the right compared to the others. It's almost a head taller! I'm guessing it's from an early mold:

 

Indeed, i was wondering about the size difference but had no idea - an early mold makes sense. Glad you enjoyed the post . . .

 

Is the one on the right in the top shot a "J-tail"? Hard to judge at that angle. Mighty purty in any case!

 

@poysntixels - I don't believe so. Look at the tails in the first photo.

 

Yeah, the more I looked, the more it looked like perspective and lens things. Still great beauties though!

 

I need that Gamera mobility scooter in my life

 

I will just brood for a while, since I *do* realize that they will never all be mine. Curses!
