Description

Jim (Jimbo) Matison (au) (ph); Michael Carlington (ph); Rodney Alan Greenblat (fr). When huge alien spiders or ocean-dwelling mutant dinosaurs visit Earth, hell-bent on destruction, they seem to always stop in Japan first. And now, showcased here in one amazing book, is a cast of totally cool, totally “sugoi” creatures culled from the most popular Japanese children’s TV shows of the last 40 years. Some of the toys featured here made their debuts in obscure Japanese live-action TV shows from the past 4 decades; others are from widely watched shows that have gained mass popularity around the world, such as Ultraman, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, & Space Giants. While the TV shows may have come & gone, the toys they inspired live on, a testament to the wild imaginations of their creators. Color photos.
