>>7340649I think he got it from this Japanese toy/food/home goods store we go to sometimes. He said his criteria for choosing was "coolest looking" and "heaviest" and that it came down to Gamera and Mechagodzilla.
He was kinda into the old Godzilla movies when he was younger and got me and my brother a few Ultraman and Godzilla toys when we were growing up. He was also into Robotech back when he was a kid so he's sort of a proto-weeb but I don't think he'd ever admit it. He gave me some of his old Japanese toys he got from the hobby shop where he grew up. Pic related is my favorite one, its from like 1985 and it's die-cast. Still has all the pieces and everything.
Sorry for the blogpost, I'm just feeling a bit nostalgic I guess.
