In this very year, a small Japanese company, Popy, known today under the umbrella of BANDAI, revolutionized the toy industry with the inception of superb βSuper Alloy Toyβ β a series crafted in die-cast lead alloys.
This rise coincided with the popularity of Go Nagai’s “Iron Armor”, and the company managed to sail through rough economic weather with the release of βSuper Alloy Iron Armorβ, which was originally launched as a joint collaboration via Universal Man, adopting both the name patter and style of the components which allied with legendary works like βIron Armor Zβ.
