I have many fond memories of "Johnny Sokko" (and "Ultraman," and "Speed Racer") from back when I was in grade school. When I first saw "Pacific Rim," I was immediately reminded of those "old school" shows. One thing I would have liked would have liked to have seen would have been a decommissioned Giant Robot (or Gigantor) standing as a "gate guardian" outside of a Pacific Rim Shatterdome base. How cool would THAT have been . . . ? Thanks for posting this!
Me too! I was watching this every day after school almost 50 years ago! I could never figure out why the military would give a watch to control Giant Robot, but what the heck - a great fantasy!
Wow.... pretty impressive figurine for this 21inches tall giant robo ! I'm a big fan of this one which relate to my childhood 60's era " Thanks for sharing :) Cheers !
This was popular when I was a boy I remember watching this on a rotor doubt television in between the normal channels it went from I think Channel 1 all the way to 13 there was a side Channel called UHF and you would find this along with Ultraman and Godzilla leave some of the best times of my childhood
They couldn't get Cleopat to operate with the exception of its self defense mechanisms. When Robot lazered his own eyes on the reflection... that was pretty cool.
Wow! As I watch this video you have provided for us. I reminisce with a silent but awesome appreciation and gladness in my heart. As a young boy I watched this with great joy. Thank you for sharing this!!
0:57 I'm starting to think that Super Sentai Zyuranger aka Mighty Morphin Power Ranger season one, used stockfootage from Johnny Sokko And His Flying Robot for dragonzord's hand missals. Flying Robot and Dragonzord have very similar hands. Plus The company that made Johnny Sokko And His Flying Robot was the same company that made Super Sentai Zyuranger.
The other robot is called Cleopat Giant Robot twin made by another county.i remember the show Cle0pat never moved but he blinded Giant Robot by reflexing Giant Robot lazers back too him.
Pretty sure Calamity is "male" I say that loosely since robots are technically "it's", but he looks exactly like Giant Robo other then paint job, which is somewhat masculine, if it were female it would definitely have a more feminine form knowing how japan does things..especially during the 60's (the female ultras from ultraman, female mecha in mazinger Z, etc. if that's any indication) Calamity simply means to wreck havoc...sudden disaster... :)
King 4 Life ,yes he does,and did you notice GIGANTOR looks like a Roman,and the NEW GIGANTOR looks like a Knight, and Ultraman well looks like Ultraman!😎😎😎🤖🤖🤖👍
Recuerdan un robot que sale el mismo robot gigante se llamaba calamidad porque era el destructor era una de las buenas, calidad claro al final sale derrotado por el original bajo las órdenes del niño del reloj que es el control remoto conque lo maneja 👍🙋
Giant Robo was fucking hilarious! XD Seriously, for a show that has a plethora of meme worthy material, Giant Robo/Johnny Sokko doesn't really have any memes (at all, not even the 90's anime one has any real memes)
Any more info on the figure? Producer? Name? Wantedd one for me too, but can't seem to find anything in that scale. Please any help is really appreciated :)
Found mine on eBay many years back. They rarely show up though. You just have to be diligent in your search if you really want one. It's a pretty massive display figure!
Giant ROBOT your not forgotten: Giant ROBOT Thanks 🤖 if made into a movie he should be inside the Great Pyramid and the aliens come back and kill most all males over the age of 16 and the kid's cry's and run into the pyramid and comes across a Giant ROBOT.🤖 this will break all movie record's Giant Robot Fight!!!
