Here's some stuff I've been meaning to have you guys take a crack at:

These came out of vending machines--I'm wondering what they are bootlegs of. The robots have a hard plastic removable shell and the inside figures are soft plastic. The bottom ones I have seen around but I can't remember if they were ever ID'd:



Here's some randomness. Vending figures, premiums, etc:

[Ridureyu]

Second row from the top - Saint Seiya bootlegs.

[Aikola]

Does your blue Saint Seiya look to be broken on the top of his head?

Second picture
First Row No 1 and 2 are Pet Aliens.
Second Row No 3 looks like a Ninja Mite.

second row - idk
third row - 2nd light blue character is a Samurai Pizza cat Keshi, other idk

[Aikola]

Those Gundams are pretty cool, if you dont want them send em over , Did you get them in the US?

[fkro6784]

Thanks guys.

I'll have to check the blue guy's head when I get home. I can't remember if it looks broken. I know I pulled the shield things off the red woman at some point. I've got a few more of these not pictured too.

The robots I did get in the U.S. in a grocery store vending machine. I'd say 1994-1995. I've got more of those as well. I want to keep them but I will see if I have any spares.

The black guy is marked with Panosh, so I searched Panosh Ninja Mites and he is indeed one of them.

Now the one that really has me puzzled is the cartoonish black robot. I feel like I've seen it somewhere else before but can't remember where.

Black guy with a base in the second pic is a "screaming yellow zonker" premium.

And that yellow bipedal creature with a saddle I know I've seen in random keshi lots and now it's killing me because I know I finally tracked down what it was from. Guess I got more sleuthing to do.

Cool, thanks for solving the mystery on that one. When I looked at that site I also noticed that one of those premiums is based off the turtle/crab alien that was also a Galaxy Laser Team figure. Interesting how that one showed up in different places.

[Aikola]

The question now is, what came first? Also I never had much love for figures with bases until I read your blog, I dont know wether to thank you or not for that

Also if your Ninja Mite has Gitd white paint (which I think I can see) he is a Ninja Mite if not he is either Cosmix or Exogini.

It reminds me of a creature from a Moebius comic!

All i know is that centaur robot is freaking cool and I need to track one down!

[fkro6784]

I'm assuming the robot centaur and bipedal dude belonged to the same set because they're the same material (keshi/eraser-like) and just look like they'd go together. They both have Japanese writing on their backs, it's hard to tell but I don't think the writing matches up exactly on both though.

[nanoFatato]

I know the anime where those keshi robots came from, but I must go home first because I don't remember the name!

edit:
Remembered! It's Galient -> http://en.wikipedia....r_World_Galient
It's a great keshi toyline to collect, there aren't too many sculpts (I believe only 16) and they came in two sizes, regular (like a MUSCLE) and large (about 2 or three times the regular size).

edit2:
here are some images of boxes of keshi:

Ooh, I love that blue Keshi samurai pizza cat in the 2nd photo...
Any chance you'd sell him to me pretty please??

Is that expensive, what is Yen compared to GBP or USD?

[Ericnilla]

1000 yen = $12.60 US = 7.75 GBP --- ish

[Aikola]

Oh cool not hugely expensive then, but isnt shipping a killer from bidding sites?

[Ericnilla]

its all on weight. 300g will cost you 1200 yen. thats about 7-8 2" figures.

[fkro6784]

Thanks for the ID on the keshi, nano! Now I think we know pretty much everything in this lot except for a couple of those bottom vending machine figures.

[nanoFatato]

Yes, got'em on YHJ, they appear ofetn in mixed lots of decoys or random keshis
