And there were two. One was lions and the other were cars or bird like vehicles, I think.
I bearly rember the lions, never knew or saw the one with cars? Any way i'm a child of the 70s so i have to pick Johnny Socko and his flying robot with Ultraman a close second
Interesting choices but I am surpised you have a Live action selection in Ultraman and Johnny Socko (60's & 70's shoes) with an animated one for the 80's
In my memory I loved space giants until I saw it again in the late 80's Goldar's face looked like green mold to me.
Ultraman!! I collect kaiju figures as well as many other toys, but the vintage Bullmark/Popy stuff can get kind of pricey, so I collect mostly modern remake stuff. I've never seen Johnny Socko, looks cool though! I have the complete 80's Voltron lion and plan on completing the rest of the action figures soon. As for other peoples picks, I never dug either Astroman or Speedracer as akid, don't know why,I just didn't. Space Giants looks great, but I haven't seen it, I know there is a very expensive goldor(?) figure made by Marmit(?) that looks super cool.
I'm trying to go back in time and remember the shows and I remember how cool it was that a kid had control of the robot and I could identify with that.
Ultraman was a better looking character but if I'm not mistaken, wasn't he a Japanese pilot that was hit with radiation or something and transformed into Ultraman?

I had always preferred Ultraman, but I had a friend in school that had to rush home to watch Johnny Socko. So in my mind they are both a tie. I actually added Voltron so the 80's kids wouldn't feel left out
