Japanese Spiderman TV Show aka: Supaidaman by Toei!

The Marvel Comics website is  putting up vintage Japanese Spiderman episodes from 1978. The videos is subtitled in English so we can understand.

The first epidode is called  “The Time of Revenge Has Come! Beat Down Iron Cross Group!”

In this Japanese Spiderman it’s Takuya Yamashiro, a motorcycle racer, instead of the camera- toting Peter Parker. He becomes Spiderman and defeats Professor Monster in episode 1.

Episode 2 is called “Mysterious World! The Man Lives to Fate.” Description: When a train suspiciously overturns, Takuya [Spider-Man] believes Professor Monster and the Iron Cross Army are responsible, while flashbacks reveal the tragic details surrounding Garia’s arrival on Earth and the transfer of power to Takuya.

It looks pretty cool. It has that late 70s/early 80s feel to it…kinda like Chips and Battlestar Galactica.

The Marvel website currently has two episodes up with more on the way each week.

With a great big WTF, Sci Fi channel is becoming SyFy.

How dorky is that?

It will have an even dorkier slogan : “Imagine Greater”… which makes even less sense.

First… why are they changing?
They claim that they want to broaden their audience to include fantasy, supernatural, paranormal, reality, mystery, action, and adventure… funny, sounds like what they already show… to accommodate a broader range of imagination-based entertainment….Their explanation sounds like 1984 double speak and is weak.

Typographically speaking…

SyFy looks STUPID. It doesn’t even look English. They claim they want to expand into the international market… could this be why? It also looks comical and cartoonish.

The change will start this July so stayed tuned or de-tuned.

Head over to Sci Fi wire to read the post for yourselves here.

The Takara Tomy GT-R Transformer, Alternity, is out in Asia and should be hitting U.S. shores soon.

It has pretty decent details like clear red parts for tail lights and even disk breaks visible through the wheels. The GT-R is also diecast instead of plastic. It’s available to two colors: silver and red.

The 1/32 Transformer has a  retail price of under $50 converted.
