Grabbed a bunch of cheap Kaiju from that ever-awesome Japanese power seller. I don't know their names or where they're from though! (And I know you guys are pros at this.)

They haven't arrived yet, but I figured this guy has some nice clear pictures already so why bother taking more?

Thanks in advance!

Reminds me of Godzilla/War of the Monsters. Pretty cool.

Temperor Seijin, Yapool, King of Mons all from Ultraman, Gyaos from Gamera, and... uhh...

A kaiju-thing that has stumped even Baltan?

I must have the rarity of the century! 

I couldn't not buy the little weirdo at a whole buck!

The last monster is totally a coin purse with arms and legs, but he doesn't look like either of the sentai coin purse monsters I know of.

[imperfecz]

"coin purse"

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that!

Yep. That never gets old!

 

Been able to rule out Super Sentai and a few other things so far. Hopefully more info can be gleaned once you have it in-hand.

Here is a picture of the back of the figure!

Ok, it's definitely a Bandai figure. Probably a High Grade by the looks of it. Can't identify the copyright, though. Doesn't look to be Toho, Tsuburaya, or Daiei, ruling out a lot of the typical tokusatsu companies, but I could be misreading it because the picture isn't clear enough. Still, the limitations of the design point that way rather than something from an anime or manga, I just don't know what. Probably older rather than something modern.

[Draznar]

I'll throw up some better pictures when he arrives!

Thanks for your help, bro!

How much moneys do you want for these guys

No moneys. I don't currently want to sell them. I may eventually be interested in trading a couple for other Kaiju-related items though. (Like keshi/mini figures.)

And finally!!!

PurseMan has arrived. Here are some better shots, and an as-clear-as-I-could-get shot of his trademark. I know there was a guy around who could read Japanese, so maybe that will provide some insight to his origin!

The first 4 characters after the copyright mark say "Ishimori Pro" (石森プロ) and the last 2 say "Toei" (東映). So put those together and it reveals that this guy probably came from one of the properties listed here.

 

If I understand the brief research correctly, Ishimori is sort of a subdivision and/or production house for Toei Animation.

 

Thank you

You da man, bro. Thank you so much for that tidbit!

Thanks for that info!

 

Boom its Robodoro from Ganbare!! Robocon. Google this ロボドロ to see tons of sweet images.

[BaltanII]

AHHH. Robocon. Well, that coin purse thing certainly fits in with all the others weirdos in that series.

[Draznar]

My local shop had several of that Ernie lookin' dude in the suspenders and the robo-brain beside Purseman!

Red, you da man!! (Combined with BadLarry's excellent translation skills.)

[BaltanII]

When I was trying to guess at the Japanese, can't believe I didn't check Ishimori Pro or Toei. I'm slipping!
