Japanese Plastic Recall

I saw a poster for the old Shogun Warriors toys the other night and the weirdest thing happened. All of a sudden I could smell the damned thing- the big giant robot, right after opening the box. Reminded me of Toy City, a bigass toy store in Overland Park where I first encountered Slime, Slime With Eyeballs, the original Star Wars figures, Eagle-Eye G.I. Joe and, of course, the insanely cool Shogun Warriors toys. Even saw the super rare Godzilla Shogun Warrior.

Obviously this brought back a brief, but pleasant blast of memories, which sadly vaporized almost as quickly as it arrived. But, man, that new robot smell!



This is the one that I re-smelled. I don't have the box anymore, but I still have the robot!
