Back in 1999, there weren’t a lot of resources on the net for information about Japanese toys. One of those few sites was Ted Terranova’s Robot Page (http://www.terranovaart.com/robotpage/). It served as an amazing resource as I was beginning to explore the roots of the obscure Japanese toys that I collect today. Although the page hasn’t been updated in 14 years, Ted is still a fan of Giant Robots and he reads this site and comes to the summits each year.

Ted has a project up on Kickstarter for his game, Rivet Wars, which is a military strategy board game with some very cool miniatures.

I’ve handled these miniatures at previous summits and they are very toy-like! Even if you are not a gamer they are very cool.
