In the 1980s, Bandai began shifting its soft-vinyl (sofubi) style toward sharper sculpts and richer details. While the colors stayed bold and playful, these Ultraman Kaiju figures captured a new era of realism at an accessible price — a change shaped by Japan’s evolving toy industry and the rise of overseas manufacturing.
These vintage Tokusatsu Kaiju represent a key turning point in sofubi history, bridging the classic charm of early Bandai with the modern look that would define the 1990s and beyond. A perfect piece for collectors who appreciate the evolution of Japanese toy design.
