I am really baffled by the G-force Guardans of Space incarnation. replacing all that wonderful dramatically evocative music with all that brass, and replacing it with such humdrum canned stuff. (not to mention the name changes and narration)

It is truer to the original Gatchaman though, I will give it that.

Didn't the north American BotP boxed sets also include original subbed Gatchaman episodes that you could watch for side by side comparison to the north American sandy frank eps?
Essentially with much childhood love to 7 Zark 7 and 1Rover 1, what I find a little frustrating about Battle of the Planets, watching as an adult, was that every time he shows up, you know you are missing story or action sequences deemed too extreme for American kids (yet did not seem to do too much damage to Japanese kids).
Alex Ross' reaction to seeing the uncut Gatchaman for the first time is priceless, and exactly my reaction to seeing the nth generation fan sub of the Gatchaman movie where Jason/Joe dies violently

What is kind of fun about the Gatchaman soundtrack is realizing that there are lyrics to the theme song. I think the G-force rerelease might have gotten rid of the original Japanese music?

Absolutely amazing collection WannabeMego! Let me ask you. What is the viewing experience for Gatchaman versus Battle of the Planets? Now I know 7 Zark 7 was created for BOP, so he is nonexistent in Gatchaman. But does the show still carry the same charm? Does it have the same soundtrack or does all that strictly ride with BOP? Just curious how much of a departure there is between the two.
Gatchaman definitely more adult then Battle of the Planets...Soundtrack is different...but not sooo much that it is an entirely different story altogether...just more grittier and adult. It's like watching the Director's Cut that gives a movie a different rating.
As much as I hated 7 Zark 7 (just way too corny), I understand why they needed it.Leave a comment:

I saw those, too! I picked up a boxed G2 from Lulu Berlu about eight years ago and paid less than the price that seller has on them, but, of course, that was before Lulu added on the dreaded VAT!Leave a comment:

Love seeing vintage vinyl that is mot Mark/Ken. Beautiful boxed pieces. I think the figures came boxed individually as well?

At this very moment, my lovely spouse is toy shopping in Akihabara for me.
She snuck this pic of one of the display cases and asked if I wanted this Ken/Mark for 35000 Yen ($419.41 USD). Seems way high for a vinyl figure, so I told her to pass in hopes for something better. Still nice to see pics. Told her to take more snaps, and I'll share them here.
I'm really hoping she makes it to Shinjiku to check out Toy Sapiens this trip. Maybe the Nicholson Joker is out over there!
Here is a pic of the tin toy she picked up for me last month (I think in the same store?)
