Kaiju Figures at Nakano Broadway 中野ブロードウェイの怪獣ソフビ

-
Continued from the post Hunt for Kaiju Figures in Japan. Nakano Broadway is truly a haven for collectors of all types, with antiques, anime goods, and of course, tokusatsu merchandise. It blew my mind the first time I visited, to come so close to the rarest of kaiju figures.
So many rare things! 

Kikaider 01 and Kikaider


These might burn massive holes in your pocket. 😭

Purple Rat and Blue Buffalo from Kikaider

Jum Killer was overpriced

The Red Ultraman? Probably not. A reissue. 
King Crab having a drink. 


Spectreman Mask
Alien Karly

Candy toys

Geed and Orb figures

Galactron Mk 2 being a small figure really bothers me. Also, why did they shrink Maga Orochi? Well tat least they made Nova finally!

Old Kamen Rider and Mirrorman trading cards

Zone Fighter, Barom 1, Jumborg Ace, Inazuman, Megaloman etc etc etc

Ultraseven  is undoubtedly one of the most popular entries in the Ultra Series. With very well crafted episode plots that can be enjoyed by adults too. However, one episode has caused much controversy for some time, and ultimately became banned. Episode 12, From Another Planet With Love  tells of the Alien Spell ,  who had been caught in nuclear war on their planet and got radiation sickness.

Though there is something strange about episode 196, Monster Morgue ( 怪獣死体置場) , which features Woo as well as Gomora who never appeared in any of the other 195 episodes. Episode 195 was supposed to be the final episode, airing on 2nd July 1971. However, some episodes of Ultra Fight were re-edited fight scenes from Ultraman and Ultraseven . Thus, when Ultraseven episode 12 was banned , episode 9 of Ultra Fight (production ep 45), featuring scenes from there, also had to be sealed and could not be rebroadcast. So, Tsuburaya hastily created an episode to replace that. It aired on 6th July. Why was Gomora used? I have...
