Most of us are familiar with the Kinnikuman Comichara set that is labeled "Volume 5"

Until recently this was the only Comichara set with a Kinnikuman theme of which I was aware.
Then a few weeks ago I stumbled upon volumes 2 and 4, still sealed in the original plastic:

As you can see, Volume 4 is similar to Vol 5 inasmuch as they have an assortment of figures paired with a vehicle and launcher. Even the other non-Kinniku Comichara sets I have seen, Ultraman(click link for pics) and Godzilla respectively, have this same configuration with identical vehicles.

Interestingly, Volume 2 has a different accessory altogether, a platform to launch figures into the air. I have not opened the sealed packages, and likely never will, but cannot help but wonder if there are any other differences between the internal packaging of the Kin sets. The opened Vol5 has essentially the same text and instructions as the UM and Godzilla sets I have, and all three come with a yellow car despite the blue one featured on the back, but who knows with these?
It also make me wonder what other Comichara sets are out there.
