About this book

Super #1 Robot: Japanese Robot Toys, 1972-1982 by Alt, Matt. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780811846073.

Shogun Warriors. Godaikin. Micronauts. They came in their legions, leaping straight from Japanese TV sets onto toy shelves. Shiny, outrageously colorful, sporting spring-powered missiles and "rocket punches"they were unlike anything seen before. Super #1 Robot showcases these unique action figures created during the heyday of Japanese robot toys, 1972 to 1982. From Popys classic "Chogokin" Mazinger Z to Takatokus Valkyrie (the first seamlessly transforming toy), these are the pinnacle of modern Japanese robot toys, and transformed not only themselves, but also todays toy culture.
