Bandai Museum / 1970~1980

The Advanced Technology Exhibition Hall @ TEPIA was established by Association for Technological Excellence Promoting Innovative Advances (TEPIA) in 1989. It is a venue in which visitors can learn about a variety of advanced technologies that are the pride of Japan. They can also learn about the role plastics play in these technologies.

1970-1980

1970~1980

As living standards rose, people began to prefer "the real thing" in the realm of toys as well. Video games played on compact game consoles began to appear with the development of electronic technology. Superalloy MAZINGER Z robots and Kamen Rider (masked rider) Henshin (transformation) Belts became popular. And there were fads for American clacker balls and the Rubick's Cube.
