They are really nice! But what's going on with the poop carrying in the Kazuo Umezu ad? It looks back breaking. Thanks for sharing them!

Excellent! I have a bunch of 80's Japanese Hobby Japan mags with toy ads, I'll have to scan some in.

Thanks for posting, these rule.

Great scan Moog. Love the KR minis at the bottom. Especially purple/black cactus guy, and purplish/light blue mini in the bottom lefthand corner. I think michael has one coming, don't know the name though.

Yay that Kamen add is wonderful... Its interesting to see that the villians came packaged with the larger masked rider figure, Ive only ever got or seen bagged individual baddies ... Oh and the tigermask ad is peaches !
