This is fun, Skullbrain's huge online scroll of old Japanese toy ads from magazines and comics. So many Kaiju and cool things.
What would you like in your Christmas stocking?

Wowee! That first link took me to a wonderland of original Ultraman toys and models! So many Kaiju for Hiyata to battle - call out the Science Patrol! SFZ

ReplyDeleteThe glory days! Page after page of mouth-watering toys from an exotic clime! I was lucky enough to gain access to several Japanese model kit catalogues back in the 1960s, and I drooled over all the amazing SF vehicles that were out at the time - and somewhat frustrated that they would never reach our shores!
