Hey all... been a while since I posted in the prop zone, so I hope this fits here, it should seeing how most the pics are of the various props on display -- it was like a dream being there.
And let me just say 2 weeks in Tokyo going crazy with events and trying to make it to model and toy shops with odd hours is something I should do every year -- I lost weight. My son (5) was filmed outside the arena hall waiting to get in for Special Night and was actually on Japanese Television News.
The Ultraman festival was pretty special this year seeing as how it's Ultra's big 40th. One thing I never knew was that Ultraman was inspired by Dr Who. An Alien who befriends an earthling.
Anyhow, I'm only going to post a few pics at first because I'm still goign through them all and I want to see if people are interested in seeing more.
First up, the show began with the surviving cast (minus one) of the original Ultraman series as well the Dan Mooribushi (Ultra 7) on stage together. From left to right we have
Ultra 7, Fuji. Don't know his name, but man was it a big deal when he walked out - he was the original Kamen Rider, Sasume Kerobe (Hyata), Ito, and Ultraman -- people were cheering like crazy.[attachmentid=9565]
Next up is a variety of pics from Ultraman's one surviving shoe to 2 remainging Science Patrol uniforms Ultra suits and (my favorite) a 22 inch long Jet Beetle - that I wanted badly. Enjoy[attachmentid=9567] [attachmentid=9568] [attachmentid=9569] [attachmentid=9570] [attachmentid=9571] [attachmentid=9572] [attachmentid=9573] [attachmentid=9574]
Like I said - I have a slew ot pics much better than these just need to go through them all. Let me know what you think. It really was a great time.
