 I have new appreciation for vinyl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk4mOltlbZw
some of you, like I, might not know exactly where many of the different kaiju come from that companies, ranging from Bullmark, Marusan, M1 up to X Plus and more, have produced figures for.
Take a gander at this, sit back and smile at how brilliant and original people were "back in the day" 
Man, I'd love to have these on DVD....

you can find the DVDs -- I goggled a bunch of 'em but it looks like none are subtitled. There was a box set that came out a few years ago and there are dvd copies floating around.
I've been reading the Tsuburaya bio book that came out this year and all of the talk about UltraQ had me really interested and wanting to see the show. Little did I know how many of the vinyl Kaiju I have on my shelves came from this influential show!

I just retired an Apex AD-600A DVD player, which will not only play all region DVDs, it will also defeat Macrovision copy protection (by punching an elaborate series of buttons, which gets you to a 'secret' onscreen menu amusingly titled "You Should Not Be Here").
If you'd be willing to make copies for Skullbrainers at a fair cost (and if it is indeed Macrovision that is protecting your DVDs from copying), I'd be willing to send you this player for only the shipping cost to get it to you ...
Public Kaiju Service! Waddaya think?

there seems to be so much intrest in ultra q that i am amazed at the fact that no company has dubbed or subtitled it .this is the show that really started the whole vintage vinyl boom .

yeah - I have to agree. I wonder, though, if people didn't since it wasn't a well-known show? I think many people would know ultraman or spectreman since both were on TV a while ago. Heck, even Kamen Rider was on FOX about 8 years ago!
The big surprise is that there hasn't been any fansubs of it. seems like fansubbers are pretty rabid when it comes to doing something unique...although without the source material I guess it's hard to release something
