Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

So I was beating myself up trying to remember the name of this guy and I finally found it. Don't see him anymore Ultraman :) 1966

Picked up this autographed picture of Ultraman a few years ago:

Good lord, all activity in the neighborhood stopped when we were kids and Ultraman came on.




30 kids playing in the park one minute, the next, no kids.
I hope they never...EVER!...remake Ultraman in any media form.

You simply cannot match that low-budget charm! CGI Ultraman? No thank you! Give me man-in-a-rubber-suit monsters, cheesy miniature sets, low-tech visual effects, and mediocre acting any day!

Still popular in Japan. In fact there is a new movie coming out.

I hope they never...EVER!...remake Ultraman in any media form.

Too late, but at least they've kept old school over the years.
