Boonboomger And Toys R Us

I don't find myself all too enthusiastic about Boonboomger as I did with last year's King-Ohger. The evidence is that I do random posts over weekly reviews. I'd like to focus on a bit of the BLATANT product placement. Product placements are common practice. These can be seen in stuff like McDonald's in the cult hit classic Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) or Krispy Kreme with Power Rangers (2017) movie. 

The episode also features Hinami Mori as Flint Goldstuiker Aki Nogi. I did that strikeout on purpose since there are cases of Same Celebrity Different Characters in Super Sentai. Power Rangers managed to cast some of its previous alumni into different characters too. Aki is Mira Shifuto's classmate. I'm glad that despite Jun Shishon making a cameo as his Right Suzuki in Ressha Sentai ToQGer -- Hinami isn't resuming her role as Flint to avoid having too many Ranger History Lessons! 

It may not be December but Christmas decorations are found at Toys R Us. It might be because the Japanese tend to be more time-conscious. This reminds me of the bizarre irony that Christmas starts early in the Philippines. However, several Filipinos tend to do their Christmas shopping AT THE LAST MINUTE. Yes, that kind of practice contributes to the unnecessary holiday rush! If only more Filipinos practiced this -- there would be a LESS stressful holiday rush!

Toys R Us and Babies R Us must be doing well in Japan. Strangely, Toys R Us never had a single product placement in Super Sentai until King-Ohger. Yes, that episode when Ishabana invited Geoffrey the Giraffe over. Both King-Ohger and Boonboomger had the episodes in NOVEMBER. It seems that Toys R Us is becoming unusually aggressive in Japan. 

I still can't get over the time I watched The Toys That Made Us. It was that episode on Power Rangers. I don't like Power Rangers while understanding the differences between the American and Japanese markets. Toys R Us played a huge role in Toei's success in America. The toy store still has a huge role in Toei's success in America during the 1990s.
