So close to achieving this goal. Please keep spreading the word, and donate if you can!

Just recently purchased one of these!! There’s a very small section on the Heisei Time Bokan radio drama (second image). I’m hoping to find more in the future, but for some reason these are really rare…

Reshares for these are still very appreciated; i'm still waiting on the mockups for my second drop and i havent had any sales since the day i listed these :(

These got relisted about a week ago. There were two auctions, and both went well past my budget so I wasn’t able to win them 😔 but I want to show these cute settei sheets of Tonzura and Boyacky as robots from the listing photos!!

Block this shit if you haven't already

What's weird is that these have a release date of "July 2000", but when I searched through a Banpresto Prize Catalog showcasing upcoming toys from 2000, these plushies weren't there... but another Time Bokan toy from this magazine was!! So odd... I'm still unsure if these were released.

SORRY THIS IMAGE IS SO BLURRY BUT YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST FOUND

Awesome, thanks LMW forums moderator, it was really cool of you to lock my entire fucking thread because one random user I've never spoken to "necroposted" and "others might as well". Thanks. You couldn't just give them a warning or something?

my favourite thing about her... the "hero trio" in itadakiman were definitely designed to parallel the classic villain trios and no way is that more apparent than with hoko's doronjo-esque short temper and exaggerated expressions (which yan-yan of course also shares)

Some of the contrast in characters expressions (specifically in Hoko's settei) are really fun ^^

I caught the flu, so archiving will be on hold until I fully recover. I’ve been working on the Itadakiman settei again, I now have almost 60/90 sheets cleaned ^^ The backgrounds are going to take the longest to clean/restore because they’re so detailed.

Mod on the LMW forums just locked a thread due to this user searching for a "physical item". Usually, these threads are locked because someone is looking for a toy or something that really isn't media. This user was trying to find a book... I don't know how much longer I can do this...............

I like it when Ondore does this

looking back on it now this was so funny. mysterious hamster settei of unknown origin

PSA because I'm tired of this 🧵

Thank you all for your patience as I continue to work on these large scanning projects ^^ This is the August 2000 issue of TV Magazine. Lots of anime/tokusatsu characters in this one!! Link below: archive.org/details/TV-M...

Kaitou Kiramekiman, from the August 2000 issue of TV Magazine. The full magazine will be scanned in the near future.

I’m so happy, I was able to win the September 2000 issue of TV Magazine!! I’m like 99% positive this has all of its bonus inserts, but the seller was vague in their description lol. We shall see!! I’m still hoping to find the October issue someday since it could have a section about the finale :0

oh my god

I love going through old MIPCOM/MIPTV archives (big event for overseas licenses/distributors) but I can only do it for so long before it makes my brain start to itch a little.

This isn’t the first time a second season of Kiramekiman has been brought up by staff, either. A few months after this message, this same staff member would say “There was only supposed to be one season!” It’s so odd…

“Oh how cute!! I wonder what some of other examples of children’s drawings turned into plush toys-ASGORE?!?!?!?!?!?!”

It’s very funny when one of those “create a plush toy from one of your child’s drawings!!” manufacturing services shows off their custom plushies and it’s very clear which designs were based off of an actual child’s drawings and which designs were just someone sending them a copyrighted character 😭

i love you mysterious bug henchmen

would u still love me if i was a bug....

Mockups for everything have been ordered! i'm hoping for my next drop to go live in 2-3 weeks, but given there's 8 things to manufacture idk if it'll take longer than my previous items to arrive. if you wanna be there for it right away be sure to give my shop a follow!! acggoods.com/store/rolyju...

I think(?) I just won something really exciting, but I had to use a different proxy service in order to purchase it, and it's extremely confusing... there was a limit to how much you could bid?? Even though this was a buy-it-now auction??? I'm hoping my payment went through lol

Me: Oh wow!! This auction looks interesting, and the starting bid is incredibly reasonable!! I hope I can win it!! It only has a few days left too!! Seller: (deletes the auction) Me:

Trying to find data-book type doujinshis at a reasonable price is getting harder… some sellers are starting to raise their prices. A doujinshi I bought/scanned about two years ago for roughly 3,000 yen just recently showed up for sale again… for 25,000 yen 😭

!??!?!?!?!???!??!???!?

out of context spoilers for the final episode of Yatterman (1977)

what kind of movie

Watching the final episode of Yatterman. Somehow I avoided seeing spoilers of the twist ending with Dokurobei, so when I got to that section of the episode I was like “WHAT”

Ik i just only opened my shop and so far my first drop has been my only... but the second is being worked on as we speak and i'm sure this'll give you an idea on how big it is (and what theme it'll be) 👀🦄

oh my god

Beach time for Cedar and their... friends? colleagues? idk i just wanted to draw Jacred/Cedar in their summer/swimwear again- (they/it pronouns for them as usual) --- #Crossover #OCs #OC #OCSky #Illustration #DigitalArt #art #ArtSky #ArtistsOnBluesky #CedarRockwell

“Hero" by artist Stuart Dunkel

Now available on IA!! This is an autobiography by Hiroshi Sasagawa written in 2000 detailing his time in the anime industry. Contains stories regarding various Tatsunoko Production anime, including the Time Bokan series. Link below: archive.org/details/hiro...

Here's another page on Kiramekiman from this book :] It ended up being around 360 pages long, it's currently uploading on IA but it might take awhile to process due to its size.

It's a little known fact that Yatterman had a cancelled reboot circa 1998. According to Hiroshi Sasagawa, it was actually a producer at Victor Entertainment named Morihiro Nagata who pitched the idea. It was suggested to be a "late night anime", meaning it was going to be aimed at an older audience.

ENHANCE THE FOOTAGE

I was hoping the section on Zenderman in Hiroshi Sasagawa’s autobiography would go into more detail regarding this, but it unfortunately doesn’t. It does state that the big twist ending with Nyaravolta was a last minute decision, and wasn’t planned at the beginning of the series.

happy mother's day

found my reaction to watching this scene for the first time

would you still cower before me if I was a worm

I’ve never seen anyone point out that Pigma Dengar’s original design seems to have been inspired by the Odate Pig from ‘Yatterman’.

Was going through old AucFan listings again, I'm just now realizing that this paper dress-up doll is GEKIGASKI
