toyboxdx toy blog brog: is graceful art of daily expressing japanese toy  

The Skull Star from the Tiger Mask Series

Some love for this all-time classic: Bullmark Apolon Header BP-24

Blue “Export” Box.

Fist firing mini diecast funk!

Spiderman and a giant japanese robot, what a cool combination.
The dream came true in the late 70ties when Toei produced a TV series
based on Marvel’s popular character.

Popy made lots of cool toys related to this series. Chogokins, plasic toys, Dolls, sofubis etc.

One of these toys is this Spider-Man & Leoparodon Set.
I bought it in the early 90ties in germany from a guy with a giant
Spiderman collection. This guy, Peter Bergner, is a real “toy-collecting-legend”
here in germany. I remember that I made a custom Popy box, for a Spidey figure
for him…holy shit, long time ago.

Spidey & Leoparodon are  made complete out of plastic.
Cheap toys, but they look great in the nice designed blister box.

Here are a few more detail shots of the accessories and the box art.

More fotos as usual in the BBS.

The postcard that came with the set is real funky.
Spider-Man on the fotos looks a bit…hmmm…strange…
maaan, his  lower  legs…a bit short?

Today a double feature: A few sofubis and a single.

What has Columbia Records in common with Bullmark?
Not much, but Columbia also released a Rockbat vinyl…stereo sofubi.
When I saw this 7” on Yahoo a few months ago, I thought this
single is a MUST for a serious Rockbat collector ;-)

Funky sound for a funky TV series!
The single comes with a real nice fold-out cover.

Now having the soundtrack, playing with the sofubis makes even more fun.
Apropos sofubis…also got one of the 2 Bullmark carded sofubi-sets.
This is the 4 figures set. The other set is a bit cooler, because it contains 5 figures
and they are more detailed. But, I’m happy that I scored this one here!

…and now…premiere…I finally found out how to post thumbnails linked to bigger pictures. Yeah!  ;-)
Here are a few detail shots and scans of the fold-out cover of the single.

Thats it for today.

Battle of the beasts!
Bullmarks Baragon vs KYs incredible evil Crab from outer space

Zinc vs Plastic, $1,50 vs $150.
No chance for the crappy Crab. The winner is good old Baragon.
But this wind-up robot kaiju Goggle Crab isn’t that uncool.
It could walk and comes with a nice little box. Don’t know
much about the brand KY – Yamazaki. The Crab must be
from the 70ties and KY made losts of plastic wind-up toys.

Sorry for this crappy Brog…I’m a liar, the Crab isn’t from outer space.
