Not vinyl nor a toy, but hey - it is VINTAGE!! I told Flynn about this the last time he was in town and I finally found it. When I was in Hawaii as a kid (Grade school era) I lived there for four month with my Dad who was working on Oahu. I use to watch all kinds of really cool Japanese Sci Fi shows all the time - Ultra 7, Kikaider, 01, Kamen Rider V3, Denjin Zaboga - non stop. One of my regular shows was Diamond Eye, and they announced he was going to make a personal appearance at a Grocery Store opening in Pearl City - what a coincidence - that is where we were living. So Mom drops me off at the place and there in all his glory is a guy decked out in the FULL on Diamond Eye suit - Looked like it was right from the show - Full on helmet, rubber suit, Diamond staff, you name it. Of course the show was shown on a Japanese Language station with Subs. Turns out I must of been the only haole' watching the show - it was me and about 100 Hawaiian and Asian kids waiting in line to get a poster signed. Here it is after all these years - worse for wear but hey: Signed in Japanese!!!
Awesome poster w/ a great story. Those villains look pretty rad too. What's the name of the guy w/ a snake as a hand?
Actually Joe - he has two Cobra's wrapped around him - and the heads stand up on his shoulders. I remember he would grab a head and point it in a direction to shoot poison. Don't know the name - anybody?
WOW! Lucky you! I love promotional and printed matter almost as much as the toys! Plus you were actually there to get it signed...amazing and priceless! Cobra dude is just 'King Cobra' I believe...Kingu Cobra? Cyclops bull dude is Majinga.
This really must be wonderful memories. The monsters from this show look really nice. Have they ever been released in sofubi ?
