Gojira Ya, Tokyo!
I love blow up character toys made by Popy.
I got lucky and picked up these inflateable bad boys at Gojira Ya, Koenji, today, Kaibutsu-kun and Kamen Rider Super 1. Both are ring toss inflatable retardation,manufactured by Popy Japan in 1980. Pictured here you can see them shot from a 15th floor studio in Shinjuku..
Gojira Ya is a great Tokyo shot. Hit them up as follows:
Godzilla Ya (Gojira-Ya)
