(comment) "Let's gather the family of Chibira-kun together!!" I see a poster of Chirabi-kun with this wording.
It says, "Please go to department stores and toy stores all over the country," but for some reason the main character, Chbira-kun, does not appear. Of the 6 standard sizes available, only the main Chibira is rated as a "3 Sacred Treasures" or "Giant Size" because its market price is well above 1 million yen.
I can understand if it is not the perfect product with the "corner" not broken, but why is the appearance rate so low even though it is the leading part?
The key word to solve that question is "Yuenchi.".
With the cooperation of photography, amusement parks and leisure facilities around the country are used for filming, and "Toshimaen," "Yomiuri Land," "Tokyo Summer Land" and so on are known as locations for filming.
And the theory that "Cibira-kun" was sold only by this "Yuenchi" (even if it was sold, the number of sales was limited) was derived based on the memory at that time. Even for Tsuburaya Productions, the "demand" of children and the "supply" of wholesalers and retailers must have been insignificant compared to Ultra and Millerman in the "5 minute program" on the eve of the second monster boom. It is obvious from the appearance rate other than Chibira-kun, and the reason why we do not see Chibira-kun, the main character, in the first place among the low occupation rate in retail stores, is that the sales theory of "Yuenchi" has a very realistic impression, and as for Mandarake, when we purchase "Chibira-kun" from now on, we will ask, "Do you remember where you bought it?"
