The History of Bandai
Bandai are one of the biggest world leaders in the toy and action figure market, rivaled only by Hasbro, Mattel and Lego in terms of reach.
Here's a quick history with what you need to know about the company behind Power Rangers, Godzilla and legions of specialized Japanese toys.
Stay tuned for future videos about all the major toy manufacturers (and some of the best little ones).

I can't believe I found this video. I use to play with those Muscle Men toys back in the 80s. So much fun and so many different ones. Great memories.

TieFighter33 yes, all this stuff brings back a flood of memories. That's why I love it
I was just thinking this morning after binge watching all last night that there should be a History of Bandai video, next thing I know there one is! :) Keep up the great work, love these video. Also Bandai kicks so much. :')
Great video with lots of info 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 good job
As of this year,Power Rangers master toy license is now lost...to Hasbro. Thanks to Saban Brands.

Personally I think Hasbro ruined a lot of the toy lines they produce.
Fascinating history! I have always seen Bandai solely as "The Godzilla people". Most of which have always been very hard to find in the States retail stores. Great video, thank you for all of your hard work and research! Loved it.

Great history of Bandai.
what a wonderful channel!
Have you ever heard of of ASMR? I know this is not your intention with these videos but your voice works quite well to trigger it. Since I love both action figures and ASMR videos this channel is perfection for me.
There are also the collectible lines such as Robot Damashi, Super Imaginative Chogokin, Movie Realisation and so on.

Vladimir Auditore yes....a lot of these we will be covering in separate vdos because to do all in one vdo would be impossible
One of the things I remember vividly about Bandai was their Ultra Monster and Rider Hero series of toys that were released back in around '83. These toys were pretty revolutionary in their attempts at realistically depicting the characters from Ultraman and Masked Rider without resorting to goofy proportions and inaccurate colors.
i love this have you ever thought about doing other foreign companies like Tomy Irwin Toys or Jakks Pacific
Here in Argentina I was first introduced to BANDAI thanks to Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya figures. You should have talked about that.

Bandais' signature line was left out? Their most popular and lucrative Saint Cloth Myth from Saint Seiya (knights of the zodiac) surely deserved a mentioning.

Did Bandai make many action figures before the 2011 ThunderCats? As I remember a lot of complaints on the poor build quality of them at the time. But you missed out on the old "from Bandai" comment in a deep gravelly voice at the end of every advert :D

yes, Larry Bandai have made a lot of action figures but mainly for the domestic market, such as #PowerRangers and #UltraMan to name to. Then of course there are the #Godzilla figures we are featured in another video.

A pretty stupid question.
I want to have Bandai do the toylines for some of my original shows: -War Knights -Mix N' Man -My Best Friend is a Robotic Warrior -Super Dummies Bullsh*t Action And the brands that I want to own: -Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt -Caramella Girls And I will pay as much millions as I can to make their toylines look good.
Gundam is my preferred bandai line of products or as its commonly known Gunpla
when bandai make Crushgear?
where is the knights of the zodiac?
Why isn't there more subscribers?
Are Takara Tomy the 4th largest toy company in the world?

Why were the late 80s and 90s marvellous die cast action figures of Saint Seiya series simply ignored?
@ActionFigureResource
3 жыл бұрын
Not ignored but there was simply too much to fit in and, in my mind, die cast toys and figures are a separate category .
Why the hell you don't talk about the Saint Seiya Myth Cloth line? it's easily they most well-known property after Gundam!

Please do the history of LEGO (the best toy in the world, needless to say why) Please do the history of Hot Toys (your own channel name seriously demands that. If Hot Toys were not the best in action figures, what else ever were ? ) By the way, good job with these "the history of xxx" series, I like it.

@ARX 351 I want to start a film company called Chaudhry Pictures, so I want Chaudhry to team up with Toei Animation. I know that Bandai made long-time partners with them. So, I want Bandai to do toylines for some of my original shows as well as brands that I wish to own such as Caramella Girls and Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.

Great video. Sadly, Bandai dropped the ball with the Thundercats BUT they are ding an amazing job with the Power Rangers Legacy line. The Thundercats are better with Mattel anyways. As long as Bandai keeps cranking out those quality Legacy toys I'm happy.

You forgot so many names but talking about Bandai and leaving Saint Seiya, Godzilla and Ultraman is basically saying ok, lets talk about the history of Nintendo except dont include Zelda, Metroid and Starfox, those games have no importance, relevance or any sorth of impact at all.
