 Wikipedia & kaiju toys So there appear to be pretty much no articles on kaiju/neo-kaiju toys, companies, anything on Wikipedia. I know this has traditionally been seen as a niche "insider" hobby by its enthusiasts, but lack of info about the people behind this phenomenon just strikes me as kind of wrong.
Anyone feel like working on some articles? Some that might be nice:
Super 7
kaiju (toys)
Secret Base
Real Head
Gargamel
Thoughts?

You could buy old S7 mags to find out what you need.

I meant more in terms of, for such a cool thing, it's a shame this hobby doesn't have any coverage on what is now the defacto database of human knowledge on the intertron. I know how to find info on the hobby, but other people do not -- why not publicize it a bit?

Because the defacto database is read mainly by the lowest common denominator...a group of direction-less people that don't deserve an easy way to obtain information.
Apologies to anyone who reads Wiki that doesn't fall into that category.

And here is where I note to folks that the search function can be your best friend around these parts.

It ain't underground if the masses take it up. 
For what it's worth, there's a decent entry on Bullmark at Wikipedia, and of course several Godzilla and Ultraman monsters have their own pages.
