Revenge of the Retro Japanese Toy Adverts

Ahh. To be able to live forever and collect it all...

 

... and have a football stadium sized house to keep it all displayed.

 

I imagine if you lived forever, you would have access to one of these. All the display space you need!

 

Those classic Marusan promotional photos from a different publication. In some ways better quality than the other scans i found ages ago.

 

Those factory images are so cool! Thanks for posting them

 

What publication are those from?

 

Weekly Asahi 1966
週刊朝日 昭和41年

 

1974 Takatoku Product Catalog / Business Meeting Toy Trade Fair (Not For Sale).

 

The elegance of that last page, especially the bottom photo layout/arrangement, is really something else. So much talent on display there.

and... I really, really would like to have that Moomin box

 

Cup Noddle Seijin??? WTF ?? This is so cool !!!
Not to mention the black Henshin Cyborg !

 

The motorized bath set/pool/water scooter things are: . I'm trying to figure out what the blue thing in the middle set (container?) is, or even the character. Is that a Zaborger variant? I guess I don't even need to know/it doesn't matter—so good!
