@doomboy just an amazing jumbo machinder collection! Seeing the Garada K-7 in that acrylic is like seeing the Mona Lisa of toys.
Ultra themed small private museum focusing mostly on sofubi. Just popped up on my recommended, don't know much about it.
Another one from my recommended. This one has 1 million views... Tiny shop but includes a standard size vintage Chibirakun in bag for example..! Channel has other shop visits too.
Alien Guts Twin Set unboxing on Kemu Channel with tons of background info: Daikaiju Alient Guts from Ultraseven episode 39, The figure set has the designation Night Color, which is probably regarding the time Alien Guts first appeared in a night fight scene, Kemu video time stamp: 13m52s, which is about 17m 16s into the Ultraseven #39 episode.
This is not a toy video, but it is a pretty fascinating 1982 documentary on manga in Japan, as aired on PBS. I believe the uploader is an SBer as well (but we haven't seen him in a while). NSFW warning: some of the comics have nudity.
"Sofubi World" on Daily Motion, a Japanese broadcast featuring guests Oyakata of Punk Drunkers, Izumonster and Pachikaiju. Discussing early beginnings, pachi, indie sofubi, production, and modern day culture. (has decent auto-translate captions! Only some places the translation is wonky)
A decent primer. I feel like something like this comes about every few years. From Shinji Ichiro (PachiKaiju): I appeared on TBS’s “The World That Matsuko Doesn’t Know” in their special episode on sofubi, along with Oyakata-san and Izumonster-san. The filming itself took place in January, and since I didn’t know how it would be edited, I was anxious and didn’t announce my appearance beforehand. I received an offer to appear on the show from the production company after they read my sofubi articles on blog. The production staff didn’t have much knowledge of sofubi at first, but they did a lot of enthusiastic research. In the script written by the production company, there was a part that sensationally reported the premium prices of sofubi, but it also highlighted the cultural value of sofubi and the craftsmanship involved. In the end, I think it was a well-balanced edit that even people who don’t know about sofubi could enjoy. There were a few things that bothered me, such as the narration in the video, but I hope that this program will be an opportunity for people to rediscover the sofubi in their closets that they were about to throw away, and that it will increase the number of people who collect and create sofubi.
