Hey, I have tons of kinkeshi that I can't place. I have looked through all the checklists I have bookmarked and can't locate them.

I have way more I can't place than in this pic alone but if I can place these it will hopefully lead me to the others. 

None have markings. The 87 sculpt is in there because its the only sculpt from the origional sculpt set I have come across with no markings. 

The tea cup head is MUSCLE for scale.

The Sunshine is a tweaked bootleg. There is similar one with both arms at his side.

 

The two puzzle guys, I am not sure if they are Kinnikuman characters or not. I have seen the chibi version pop up in lots with other chibi Kinkeshi.

 

The yellow Atlantis, Kinnikuman in a suit, green Geronimo, and Pink Mountain are all bootleg Popy Kinkeshi minis, if I am not mistaken.

 

The green headless guy is a bootleg of a standard Kinkeshi. Some have the markings removed while others do not. There were tons made over the years with varying degrees of detail.

 

The two middle chibis on the bottom are unfamiliar to me, but I would love to learn more about them!

Yeah, I have a mountain of chibi-size guys that aren't from the chibi set and I can't place the set for any of them.

Some share the same or very similar sculpts to this set but aren't 4cm (I have most of that set to compate them to)

I think they were made by the same company because in both sets I have figs in the same gold material.

The medium sized one's I have aren't popy. They don't have the correct markings and with some like the mountain i have their popy counterpart and the sculpts are different.

Do the medium sized ones have a different TM, or just lack the original TM? Many bootlegs do have the original markings simply removed, or obscured by a raised HONG KONG, or something along those lines.

 

I, too, have come across varying versions of The Mountain in chibi/popy forms. I believe most of them were unlicensed knock-offs: Original sculpts of copied characters.

First row mountains: Orig, Popy, Chibi, mystery

 

Second row: 4cm chubby fig from set linked above, 3 figs that have the same or very similar sculpts to that set but are the wrong size. None have any markings. 

 

The Keshi type thread mentions 'mini keshi' but I can't find much more info past that one mention of it

Mystery mountain is from a bootleg set of unique sculpts.

The small chibi rocket guy is from a bootleg chibi set, mostly household items.

The other chibi guys are from a knockoff set, all kinnikuman, but unique sculpts.
