Mini Godaikin Spider-Man Leopardon by Bandai

Posted on January 1, 2024 by megohead1

Mini Godaikin- Shogun Warriors Leoparden BANDAI

This little guy magically arrived yesterday and it became my first toy opening of 2024.

Behold the mini Godaiken of Leopardon, the giant robot from the Amazing Japanese television adaptation of Spider-Man. These appeared when I was in high school, and I immediately recognized them as Shogun Warriors. Shoguns were an unrequited toy love of my childhood, meaning I never got many but adored the comic. So, I bought a bunch throughout high school.

Shogun Warriors- Mattel Diecast

Leopardon got special meaning in the 80s when I got a bootleg tape of the Japanese Spider-Man series (I was the “bootleg tape” guy in high school/college/now) and it was like knowing an incredible secret.

I remember finding this exact figure in 1991 at a Toys R Us store outside of Toronto and immediately buying it. Sadly, all of them were lost to time, and these figures went from sitting gathering dust at Toys R Us to just OUTRIGHT disappearing.

Seriously, I’m always on the hunt; I’ve found 2 of these things, and that’s it. The bubbles are likely the most significant issue; they are “rack toy”, although the figure is still high quality.

Happy 2024, everyone; let’s fill it with good stories.

Mego Custom of the Week: Aunt May

Posted on December 8, 2015 by megohead1

Custom of the Week – 12/7/2015 – Aunt May

This week the spotlight falls on lilbrosj66’s Aunt May. It’s almost impossible to find a use for the Grandma Walton head, let alone such a perfect fit for a beloved character.

Posted on November 30, 2015 by megohead1

From Issue 25, September 1999 (still credited to the ToyFare Staff) we have “Megoville Squares” when they could still riff on the DC characters a little. I guess this mail away Lady Death offer has probably expired?
