they were released by Fujiya 1989-2003 - they came with candy - there are 178 different sculpts and they are numbered (and hey, i'm only missing 171 hahaha)
they are about twice as large as bandai or popy kaiju keshi - the rubber has a nice feel to it. firm and semi-glossy.
i've included a pic of the few i have with some popy and bandai ones along front to show size comparison...

the twintail in the middle is a great translucent pink - like a jolly rancher - the worlds angriest jolly rancher. so i guess not really jolly at all.
i've also seen them listed with kaiju spelled with a y (kaijyu) but i'm not sure if that means much.
EDIT * changed title to reflect the direction of the thread - feel free to discuss ANY kaiju lines.
