 Secret Base is Responsible for "See-Thru Soft Vinyl" ? On the Secret Base website, it says:
Secret Base is also responsible for creating today's toy trend, "See-Thru Soft Vinyl"
So is Hiddy saying that he is responsible for pioneering the use of clear vinyl in toys?
Doesn't make much sense as you look at all of the clear vinyl vintage toys...

Re: Secret Base is Responsible for "See-Thru Soft Vinyl" ? Really? Like other toy companies haven't been doing that since the 60s and 70s?

Re: Secret Base is Responsible for "See-Thru Soft Vinyl" ? Crazy!
The S7 Magazines are filled with vintage clear (or yellowish clear) vinyl toys with inserts.
Something must have been lost in the translation.
Perhaps he meant the clear vinyl "Neo Kaiju" trend.

Re: Secret Base is Responsible for "See-Thru Soft Vinyl" ? In the beginning, there was a trend and the trend was good, so we bought it & it became fruitful throughout the world. But the trend was opaque and fear clutched the hearts of men. Why can't we see guts, they pondered. But it came to pass that the trend became 'see-thru soft vinyl' and all could see through it and at the guts and there was much rejoicing throughout the land.
(Can I get an Amen!)

Re: Secret Base is Responsible for "See-Thru Soft Vinyl" ? Feh. Even if you go back only ten years and look at vinyl toys aimed at adults, Marmit and Bandai were cranking out translucent vinyls well before Secret Base was established. And people went nuts over those crappy things.

Re: Secret Base is Responsible for "See-Thru Soft Vinyl" ? I think it means they're responsible for clear vinyl becoming popular. Not taking credit for being the first of the current wave (clear fink shit) etc.
