THE LAWLESS VHS ZONE – Rare Tokusatsu on American Home Video

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

ORIGINAL UPLOAD DATE: March 3rd, 2020

In the wake of Ultra Rewind, Vintage Henshin takes a look at a world of rare tokusatsu shows and films (or at least a good chunk of them). Highlights include the Fox Lorber Keita Amemiya tapes, THE MAGIC OF THE NINJA, the fate of THE SPACE GIANTS, and a look at the Rankin-Bass/Tsuburaya Trilogy (?!!).

Special Shoutout to the team from the HEROES THREE Podcast for helping notify me about the stealth re-release of MIRAI/CYBER NINJA! Check out their show here –
