Thanks to everyone that attended the live premier and interacted with me! I wanted to say a couple things that I figured I'd pin here. Firstly, since I stop at the introduction of Popy, I decided to hold off on going into them this time since they produced half a dozen Godzilla toys, including what would be called "Shogun Warriors" in the West... and would have taken me another couple of days to get that edited, haha! But look forward to hearing all about Popy and Bandai in PART 2 since they are related! Finally, if you haven't seen my interview with Marusan's CEO, definitely check that out for even more detailed history of the early days of kaiju toys! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XdcapcefjUM.html
Awesome video! In the current scene of high dollar ultra-realistic figures intermeshed with high dollar designer sofubi, vintage stuff often gets over-looked.
Dude! That was a lot of fun! Bite sized toy history might be a fun feature to come back to in the future. Thanks again for another great video, and I loved the footage at the end of Godzilla just taking a stroll through town. Good for him, he works hard and deserves a break now and then.
All stuff I knew from various sources, but fantastic to have it all in one place. You came very close to revealing the fact that GI Joe is both its own grandpa, as well as the grandpa of the Transformers, but your digression was already longwinded and you got back on track quickly.
Thanks for sharing man ! I mean Godzilla / Henshin Cyborg and Microman in one video…. 🤯 What else can a collector need? … ok ok maybe only Dragon Ball / Spiderman / Kamen Rider / Ultraman / He Man / Akira / Saint Seiya / Mazinger Z and Macross … 🤓
Great video. I'm relatively new to collecting Japanese toys (started in 2015 with Ultraman) but i really like these videos that show off their rich history! Also that Godzilla shot at the end was awesome!
Great and informative video, can't wait for the next part! Over time sofubi is looking cooler and cooler, at first I wasn't a fan but now I think it's neat.
I did actually do a rough history of Dragon Ball keshi, sort of... in a junkbag video.. but mostly uncut. I will link it just incase you hadn't seen it yet! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RVKNvxxji5M.html
