Post Ultra 7- 7 -7!!!
Came across this the other day cleaning out my closet - it is my OLD program from the Ultra 7 stage show I saw when I was a kid in Hawaii (I lived there off and on during my youth). I also came across my old membership card in the fan club.:

Program was super cheap - you can tell by the "monster" section. They basically looked like they took old vinyl fliers and cut pictures out of the toys:

Alas - my vinyl treasure trove was lost in the late 90's when the car took a dump and I needed to get a new one. I miss the old guys........

That's a neat piece of history. Can't be too many of those around anymore. Tsubaraya Hawaii, huh?

Oh yeah I do - Basically all were Hawaii Bullmarks - Ultra 7 (of course), Metron, Icarus, Micrus, Eleking, Giradorus, and a couple others whose names escape me. Only one I REALLY am sad about is the Bullmark Denjin Zaboga. There was also a Tokotatsu Kikaider.

Cool thing in Hawaii is all the Japanese shows that were popular in Japan were also wun in Hawaii - some dubbed some not. I watched on a regular basis: Kamen Rider V3, Denjin Zaboga, Rainbow man, Diamond Eye, & Ultra 7

Oh and Josh - no clue on the Eleking. I can take a close up of it if you want. The program is pretty thrown together. I do remember the show well - it was cool. I got the shit scared out of my by a guy in an Eleking costume!! Came down the aisle behind me and shook a bunch of metal chairs right behind me - crazy what you remember from your childhood.

Neat how the program features so many giant-sized toys by their standard releases.

Looks like that Eleking might be the huge store display. Not sure why it is in the catalog. There ar ephotos of it in the "Bullmark Story" book. I have the same program. I won it from ebay a few years ago for pretty cheap. Wish I was there, though.

I've never seen that Eleking before. I can't find it in any catalogues or books.It bears no resemblance to the giant store display.

Maybe it's the Plamodel? :|

Need to ask Jim.

well paul i think i would have to agree with you that it looks like a model . one thing that looks really strange though is if you look at all the toys they look like the pic was taken from somewhere else like pasted in except for the eleking .
