Spacesuit uniforms Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

I can't remember if the spacesuit uniforms first appear in GII or GF, and I can't seem to find any screenshots. Anyone have some on hand?

Chris- I'm not sure if this is the "first" appearance, but a quick glane at TJ's Eagle Riders episode guide showed me that Gatch II- episode 8 (G-II #8: Firebird on the Moon) has Joe in space using Jun's "Swan Rocket".

Here are a couple of shots of Joe:

Ken wears the space suit in "G-II #44: Fight the Evil Mars Base!" (Thanks again, TJ!)

Springie is right ... spacesuit uniforms first appeared in GII. Sorry for not having any screenshots at hand to share! This is also a good reminder that I soooo need to refresh my GII memories!!

I was trying to figure out how I never saw her guides then remembered it's for Eagle Riders, and I haven't searched on that. Smile Thanks for the pointer!

Hi all!

The spacesuits only appeared in a small number of episodes.

In Gatchaman II:

Episode # 8 - Joe wears his
Episode #44 - Ken wears his
Episode #45 - Ken and Joe wear theirs

In Gatchaman Fighter:

Episode #22 - Ken wears his

While only Ken and Joe are seen wearing their spacesuits in the episodes themselves, designs for were done for the entire Ninja Team. Alas, the only time you see Jun, Jinpei, or Ryu in their spacesuits is during the opening credits for Gatchaman II.

Thanks for the info, James! I did notice their use in the credits when I was looking at eps 8 and 44. Do you know if there are any products/figures/whatever that use those space uniforms? I know there's pictures of them in Gatchaman Graffiti.

It still drives me nuts that you see those suits in the opening credits, but never in the show. Where is that animation from? Is it a list episode! I want to see it! Frown

And I'm glad the ER Guide is coming in handy!

Beyond printing some of the model sheets in a few books, there's no merchandise using them in Japan. However, they have turned up on a few items in other countries. For example, South Korea released a series of inexpensive plastic figures, including one of Joe in his spacesuit. Also, an image of Joe in his spacesuit appears on the game board for the U.S. Battle of the Planets game (Gel Sadra's on there too!).

No, not a lost episode. The animation seen in the opening and closing credits of most anime series is original, created just for those credit sequences, and Gatchaman was no exception. Yes, the second version of the original Gatchaman opening credits used some footage of Gallactor mecha lifted from episodes, but the first opening credits was completely original. The same goes for Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter.

The Gatchaman II opening credits were storyboarded and animated by Masami Suda, who had worked as a Key Animator on many of the better looking episodes of the original Gatchaman series.

James, it's so awesome to have our very own personal Gatch encyclopedia! I'll have to keep an eye out for those. I'd really love one of Ken in his spacesuit. If I wanted to be very bad I suppose I could get a mould of Joe in a spacesuit, make a resin replica, and paint it as Ken. Of course I wouldn't do that, though. *flutters lashes*

I've seen some interesting custom figures people have done. I just wish people would stop making stuff with the guys so muscled up they wouldn't be able to bend or move like a ninja. What is it with the muscles on top of muscles craze? Smile

Chris, before making a mold, have you looked into using a 3-D printer?

Thanks for the info, James!

I'm well aware of 3D printers. Smile I'd have to digitally build a 3D model from scratch or use a 3D scan of something real. The old school (mould and resin) method can be simpler. Of course there's also carving/sculpting an original then making a mould. I've been wanting to get into trying to sculpt but that requires supplies and equipment I don't have, and I really need to knuckle down and use the supplies I already have before buying new stuff! I always seem to want to move to some new thing.

I didn't like the spacesuits' helmets and its weird seeing them without their wings. I didn't notice the others in spacesuits in the credits. I'll have to pull out my ER DVDs to take a look.
