Product Description
--The column "Tell Me About Shigeru's American Toy Boom!", which has been serialized in the monthly Hobby Japan magazine for over five years since 2018, has finally been made into a book!
- The American toy boom that swept Japan in the late 1990s.
- Until then, action figures of American comic book characters had only been popular with a few core fans, but they suddenly became popular!
- That was the time when pop blister packs adorned the walls of not only specialty shops, but also second-hand clothing stores, imported CD shops, imported goods stores, and many other stores across the country.
- How did this unprecedented boom, which is now a distant memory, begin and where has it gone?
- The author, who has a strong love for American toys but missed out on the boom due to his childhood, explores the whereabouts of the lost boom based on the testimony of people involved who were there at the time, including manufacturers, figure import agents, specialist magazine editors, shop owners, and collectors.
