    Toy-Ventures: Popy World Heroes




    [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]This week's episode is all about the greatest toys you never had as a kid, unless you grew up in Japan that is. The Popy World Heroes are an amalgamation of the Kenner Star Wars figures with the greatest TV Superheroes Japan had to offer. I'm talking Power Rangers! I'm talking Ultra-Man and his many, many brothers and my personal favourite Kamen Rider and his arch enemies. Popy World Heroes are the kind of crazy the world needs. Discuss this with us at the Pod Stallions Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podstallions/[/COLOR]

          ^^ Yeah, me too!… resisting my primal urges to fall deeper into Japanese euphoria.

                  I've never heard about this great line of figures. I've really tried to focus on Megos but these guys are tempting!

                  Oh, I also very much enjoyed the appearance the Super Sentai, Drink Mixer Red.

                              Loved this video. I had heard about this line and seen a very few pics years ago, but I didn't really know much about it. Learned a lot today.

                                      Just when I thought I was done. Looks like I will need to find some of these cool looking characters tonadd to my Catina. Thanks again, Brian, for a great episode.

                                              I picked up three of them in Tokyo. I got Kamen Rider Ichigo, Ultraseven, and Ultraman Taro.

                                              I just bought an Ultraman from a friend.

                                                  Here's mine. I'd love to have some with perfect paint. My Ultraman I just ordered has good paint.

                                                  Love these little dudes.

                                                          Brian is 100% to blame for me collecting and loving this line, and lines like it.

                                                          Here is my current collection. My spare Ultraman and Ultraseven are just spares, though I'd eventually like to add the Bandai copyright variants.
