SUPER FESTIVAL 95! Returning to Tokyo's Big Toy Show!

I wanted one of these back in the '80s. Photo by Brett Homenick.

On Sunday, September 27, I returned to the Science Museum to wander around Super Festival 95. I was genuinely surprised the number has gotten that high, but it's probably been a few years since I was last there. If I'm being honest, I was done a lot sooner than I expected. It all just looked the same to me, and there wasn't much of interest going on. I did spend money, though -- I bought some vintage cards of movies like Monster from a Prehistoric Planet (1967), The X from Outer Space (1967), and Gamera vs. Monster X (1970). I also bought a few DVDs and Blu-rays -- all non-tokusatsu -- that caught my fancy. 

And that's about it. I even struggled to find interesting things to photograph, as it mostly seemed so old-hat, but I captured what I thought was most fun. I also snapped a few selfies in my WCW Nitro Grill polo that I bought from Sonny Onoo on eBay in 2024. I actually bought two, but the black version disintegrated when I put it in the wash. Oh, well. At least I still have the version Ole Anderson can be seen wearing in Black Saturday episode of Dark Side of the Ring.  

Pictures are below. Enjoy!
