Revenge of the Retro Japanese Toy Adverts

AS usual, great stuff! What is (are) the brand(s) for the 9th and 10th scans up from here. Don't know the language even now, not very gifted, really. Toei?

Maybe? Not sure what scans you mean . . .

 

Yes and thank you. Sort of let my hard-won learning slide for the last 5 years or so and now must put myself through summer school.

 

I think that the "river of bullmark" poster is one of the coolest graphics that I have ever seen. That, a complete set of buta dinos and a Yonezawa happy hat and I would have the "self confidence" to allow an open coffin viking funeral when I check out.

 

From the Mooneyes Japan website, i don't think they say what factory it is.
Mid-50's.

 

There's a whole bunch of stuff in all the new posts, but especially the b/w catalog, that I had no idea existed. Phew. Exhausting! Also, I know that since early in the FAQs, SB is not big on dioramas. Shame, because sometimes they're pretty compelling even if they swallow up all your living space!

 

Not big on dioramas? Well...I fucking love 'em! MOAR, please!

 

What he said. We could rename them die-o-ramas if they're especially bloody...

 

Man, I need to find a copy of that Hero Catalog one. I have most of the Hobby Japan catalogues and they're amazing - so much stuff that there's no record of anywhere else.
