a few people do. Here's the link
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=19928&p=274982&hilit=beautiful+book#p274982

Someone on the board has/had one for sale. Check the sale threads. I would post a link, but I forget who and where...

S7 has them but I can't find it in the webstore. You might want to pm one of the guys about it. I believe they go for about $60.

I have a copy...and it's a killer, must have book if you're into vintage stuff...amazing photos...hundreds of full page ones...a really welcome addition to my "toy library."

definitely a worthwhile purchase. you can buy them directly from Amazon.jp - i got mine from Super 7 through a pre-order. Send them an email, maybe they still have some copies.

I also think Club Tokyo was selling one.

we still have copies. I will have it up on the web soon.

Wow...thanks for all the replies.



Not that I have a painfully one-track Kaiju mind, but do they also have some decent pictures of old-school Jet Jaguar toys?

if you go here and type in jet jaguar...there are a lot listed.

on the web now!

It's available from Amazon.jp for $30 if you follow the link from the top post.

That's not necessary, anyways shipping would probably get you close to $60.

If you're planning on buying the book get it from S7.

I saw one that ElvisFromHell has, and I will have to get one myself, it looks great.

Also, http://www.tinyurl.com is your friend!

Ha! Very subtle!

I make sure to use it in the future. Thanks.

So check this out...this package shows up today and inside is a book.

It's a beautiful book and--get this---it's full of MONSTERS!

Very cool book. It's really a book of Ultraman toys, but given all the crazy Ultraman monsters it's still very, very tasty. The small section of Godzilla figures is very cool, too.

Definitely worth picking up. Thanks again to everyone who responded.

Good book! My argentinean Kanegon leads the book off! Rad!

just got it in!!! totally stoked.
expectations topped - massive foto overdose.
whole new world to find out about...
together with 4 new mini lucky cats - sweetens my day.
thanxx S7!!!

Amazon Japan has good shipping rates for certain items. This book is gorgeous and is a follow-up to the author's series of pocket-sized photobooks from the 1990s. It's a must have for vintage collectors and admirers.

Indeed. HLJ is decent if you ship it SAL, too.

And of course S7 has it....

...interesting, didnt know, alreday have some of the minis, very nice too.

The next book in Saito's series on his toy collection will be Chogokin and Popynica, and the following book will feature Jumbo Machiners. No release dates have been announced. So, keep your eyes peeled.

I'd personally love to see a Takatoku book, but I guess he already dismissed that idea (my understanding is he sold off most of his T.T. stuff ).

Well, the blurb that I saw for the Jumbo Machinder edition, was mentioning that it was tentatively a split issue with "Henshin Hero Toys," so we'll see -- perhaps he had all of his stuff photographed by Hatsuhiko Okada before he sold them off (if that is indeed the case)?

Sounds like expanded versions of his earlier books which would be cool. How would you draw limits for a Takatoku book? They were into everything from vinyl, diecast, paper, etc. Seems like every time I see something cool that I have not seen before it has that "TT" stamp on it.

That's true, but I'd love a book that mish-mashed all those together. It's all great stuff.
