I thought there was something like this... anyway, here's where we can show the love to Mazinger, Ultraman, Astroboy, Gigantor, Kamen Rider, Giant Robo, Power Rangers, whatever.

I just saw these on the AmazWAN and thought they looked awesome. (Insanely expensive though.)

I used to have this one when I was a kid, along with a bunch of the Ultraman related stuff. Living in Hawaii in the mid-70s there was a lot of the Japanese superhero stuff on TV like Kamenrider.

Yeah, I saw all that stuff in Korea in the 80s but since I don't speak or read the language, most of it was very mysterious to me and could be no more than eye candy at the time.

I would have watched that stuff in Korean, I didn't need to understand anything to dig it.

Yeah, I didn't understand it either. It all played on the local Japanese language station (lots of Nisei in Hawaii).

Didn't matter, we loved it all.

I had that guy when I was a kid. He fired missiles from one of his hands and had two swords. The ornament on top of his helmet was also a removable space ship. Shogun Warriors? Is that what they call(ed) them? AFAIK there was no cartoon or comic, at least American, so I had no idea what to do with that thing. He became the ultimate hero though, in all play.

Jet Jaguar says . . . . "I'm out of here!"

I had this one when I was a kid. An obvious Shogun Warrior clone.

One of my first avatars here at IMWAN was the Flying Robot from Johnny Sokko

Did you ever see the Giant Robo anime they did based on that? It's supposed to be pretty good.

Someone's been juicing.

No, but I bet it is. It was a good premise.
