Ultra Man Coin-Op Kiddie Ride (Kobe, Japan)
A mere stones throw away from the spectacular Tetsujin 28, aka Gigantor statue (see previous post HERE), this coin-op kiddie ride of Ultraman in front of a nearby Kobe toy store is just as spectacular to behold. I'm guessing it's from the late 60's / early 70's, and as you can see from my photos, it is indeed in ultra pristine condition!

Man, I would sure love to have that in my living room. Especially if it went "Shuwatch!" every time I popped a coin into the yen box.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Swap out the exercise bike collecting dust in the corner
ReplyDeleteThere are some things you will only have one opportunity for in your entire life.
ReplyDeleteDropping a quarter for an Ultraman ride is definitely one of them.
(Whoever's been in charge of keeping ol' U-guy in proper paint and running order certainly deserves a hat tip too.)
Ultra Hat Tip!
