Nothing "Spectacular" about these Popy mini sofubi, but one just HAS to have love for the Popy Spiderman stuff.

So kids, show us your Japanese Spidey toy porn..

Funny how he's way more muscled than most Spiderman toys.

picked this up the other week at the Tokyo Toy Festival,
Vinyl body, rubber head + stickers!!

That's so butt-ugly, it's beautiful. Any idea of the maker?

Only one arm has a bracelet, strange.

He only had one web-shooter in the Japanese tokusatsu show...right?

Yeah the bracelet was a part of the old school costume.

I liked the Kamen rider Den O geust appearence in the pic too!

Datadub set me straight on this dude. Absolutely, completely insane.

Here's the show intro:

And this is apparently the 'best of' for his dramatic entrances in the show:

SPIDAMA!

Am I crazy, or does his dramatic intro riff sound like it was done by Hiroshi Miyagawa, the composer for all the Space Battleship Yamato music?

I am so looking for this on DVD at SDCC.

Oh, and if I got it right, the bracelet is also used to summon his GIANT ROBOT!

whoa, I find this video strangely mesmerizing...
thanks for the link

would love to see a sub version of this show someday . i think this is the only american hero that had his own japanese show . thanks for the links guys !

Not many episodes...9 i think but funny as hell! Especially when he starts strumin on the guitar, you want to throw him in the campfire.
Spiiiiidaaaaah man is great!

Oh, baby....guess what I nabbed at SDCC?

SPIDAH-MAN!

Six episodes on DVD. Three episodes are good quality but no subs, the other three are lesser (like it started as 2nd generation VHS but is now old and hurting) quality with subs.

Currently watching "A Phantom Boy, And A Village That Doesn't Exist"...

One of the sub translations just read, "Sister, I'm hungary!"

Awesome.

I wish I had these when I was a kid instead of the 5-inch US Spiderman action figures.

Data,

The big spiderman is a mexican bootleg that was made for years and years (there is also a superman and batman in the series) what is so weird is that it is japanese spiderman, not american spiderman. Crazy!

brian's post made me think about this guy i saw on weirdotoys

THAT-KICKS-ASS

What's up with the Ninja Turtle toes?

Awesome. That guy actually looks like he's 60% Ninja Turtle... And 10% Bela Lugosi.

I've had this guy since 1980...

Nice example of a minty Leopardon Machinder Rory! I still need that one. Fucking Jumbo market is stupid right now..

Also, Jordan23's ST chogokin, while not vinyl, is in my opinion the best representation of Leopardon. Love it!

Here are both the Spidey's and Leo's together:
