Revenge of the Retro Japanese Toy Adverts

Wow those are way different and very cool

 

Yeah, I was really happy to stumble across them. The amount of creativity is staggering, I haven't found out who the artist is yet.

I think the TV show is comedy based which would explain the whimsical situations . . . .

 

That shows-era styling is fantastic, and the fact that there are kaiju from all the eras is making it even better

 

Haha! Those are Amazing, @The Moog. I hope that there's a book out there of this artwork, because I've got to have it.

 

They really are fantastic. Thanks for posting these.

 

I'm not sure, but this may be the artist -

Logo character design: Nielsen

 

Holy lol at Ragon winning the beauty contest

Edit: Also, clever on having positive and negative Spacium energy (glands? sacks?) in Ultraman's arms showing why he crosses his forearms

 

Nice high-res photos of a classic Bullmark flyer.

Why are Sally and Linus not connected

 

Isn't that Linus with his reading glasses on and a green shirt underneath Sally's main image?

 

Nope, it says Larry (I'm not hardcore enough to know who that is)
I kinda feel there should be a line between Patty and that funny-lookin' kid with the big nose, too...

 

Yeah, i agree. Haha.

Me neither.

@The Moog - Great photos that you are contributing to this thread. I love those Nielsen(?) header art tribute pieces. So good.

Regarding those last toy store photos, I believe I have seen photos of this store before, and they had the same green vinyl Marusan Godzilla with metallic blue spray, but it was not for sale. Anybody know if it's the same shop? I'm obviously interested in the piece, if only to see more photos of it. Their website seems to be quite outdated.
