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 - http://heroes3podcast.blogspot.com/
