    Gatchaman Stamp Set




    For some reason I was really chuffed to discover that Japan not only likes cheap-o rack toys but that they even get the exact same kind.

    This little set has little stamps of the phoenix, Mark and Zoltar, it would have so easy to put this on an english card and market this to us as kids. Look the note pad's already in english!

    That's neat! And yes, rack toys were popular in Japan, commonly sold at kiosks in train and subway stations. Someone could probably write a whole book dedicated just to them...hmmmmmm.

      I always loved the American version (Battle of the Planets). One of the last childhood shows, I've patiently waited to see converted tastefully to DVD. I may not get to see that in my lifetime.

        Everyone knows the Japanese word for memo is memo.
