Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:23 pmIs that common practice? You'd think they'd re-use minitures quite a bit, considering how costly some are.

I'm just getting to the Ultra Q beginnings so have a ways to go in the book.
From what I've read so far though, simply excellent. Very easy to read and understand, lot's of cool behind the scenes photos and some really great stories from the sets of the movies.
One thing that keeps messing me up are the thick pages of the book! I sometimes think I've skipped a few pages and realize it's simply because the pages are cut pretty thick!
It puts a smile on my face every time I see the cover of the book with Eiji giving direction to Ultraman.

A familiar image at Ultraman Festival 2011.
I love how it looks like Ultraman is being scolded by Tsuburaya, and Baltan is just totally bummed out in the background.

Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 6:49 pmGotta love that photo — iconic! My book has been sold at the Ultraman Festivals, and other Tsuburaya/Ultraman events, around Japan over the last few years. It's quite an honor!
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 7:00 pmThanks for the photo credit, August. I'll be going back to Epcot before the end of the year and I'll see if it's still on a display stand. If not, I'll put it on one.
