Girls of Tokusatsu Week





For those of you asleep at the wheel, the TSB Tumblr has been blowing up with sparklers, spandex, and space-age chicks with our Girls of Tokusatsu week. This theme has run its course, but don't fretThere's plenty more retro gals from the future (and monsters) waiting to be exploited!

Head over to the Tumblr to see what you've been missing, and remember: It's not cheating if she's an alien.

  1. Now this is why I like japan. You can watch young women power rangers and villainettes battle. I noticed a couple villainettes looking familiar. I'm thinking Beetle Borgs but I could be wrong. I remembered something awhile back that would be great for your Tumblr account. It's old trading cards from Topps. Here's google and wikipedia links.

    I think this would be an interesting piece for a article or Tumblr pics. I remember a couple of trading cards that had Monsters in them but were photo realistic that had scenes on them. The one I can remember is a monster taking some popcorn while some kids watch a movie not noticing it. Way early 90's or 88 or 89. I can't remember farther back cause I was born in 1985. Now comparing english and japanese Tokusatsu I'd say the japanese versions win hands down.
