So, what the heck are these things? I found them in a bunch of muscles from two different auctions.

I'm not sure, but the red fella on the left reminds of this sculpt of mine:



And the fella on the right reminds me of a "Predator" wearing swim trunks.

The red one is just a knockoff Zaku from gundam. I use to have some. They are literally a dime a dozen. I mean seriously there's a guy who sales like 100 of the guys per lot on eBay. You use to be able to buy them like green army men from dollar stores and stuff.

The other guy I've never seen before. Probably just another knockoff fig of some sort. Sorry I can't tell you more.

He sure is an ugly SOB. You can't see so much in the picture but it's pretty thick too - oh, and the plastic is pretty close to muscle plastic, but just slightly more rubbery feeling. Same springyness though.

Thanks for the help URS. At least now I know for sure that it's a piece of crap...I had only suspected.

Any markings on the second guy? You got me curious now. I like to know these things. Learning about obscure toys is like a second hobby to me. I'm gonna try to find something on him.

Well, here's some help for you: a side view and a rear view. You can see on the rear view a "HONG KONG" mark on the back and what I assume are Chinese characters under the belt next to a copyright symbol.

That rear view should be flipped around to read the "HONG KONG", sorry. I thought I saved it properly, but it seems I didn't.

I have that same weird Predator figure and I would love to know what it is!

I came across it in two different colors while browsing an on-line keshi store the other day but they had no further deails

I really dig the predator guy.
What online store did you find him at?
Also, is it plastic or rubber?

It's plastic, but slightly "gummier" than a muscle.

Awesome Matt, Now we know the one Hunter posted is a Keshi Bootleg. I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. I've been keeping an eye out, but havn't found anything. What site were you browsing matt?

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

You know what, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it may just be an old Power Rangers Keshi. Is there a Small circled B on the back of yours Hunter? I can't tell from the pics you posted. If yours is a bootleg it may not show. If there is it's for Bandai, and it very well may be a Power Ranger Monster. They aren't called Power Rangers over there though.

No "B". Just the Chinese characters, the copyright symbol and "HONG KONG"

URS, I think you may have it!

The site I saw the two colored versions on has sold out of both, when tey sell out they remove all info.

The next two figues on the toy store's list are both Power Rangers (I think, the site says チェンジマン ) and both pretty cool:

D@MN I impress myself sometimes! Thanks for the Japanese phrase Matt. IT took me like 20 seconds to find it.

Oh dear lord. I'm the owner of a Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers toy. Although I guess it's not so bad, given that it's the Japanese original but still...Power Rangers are like Barney for me....they mark that point where kid's stuff started to look like it was specifically made for the mentally challenged.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

The Original Japanese Power Rangers were actually pretty cool. They came out in the 70's, and Saban is the one who Tarded it up in the 90's. The only American shot Footage on PRs are the shots with the american actors in them. So if you think about it, the special affects were pretty cool considering their age.

Never saw much besides the American shots...and those are what made me throw up in my mouth a little. Anyway, I do like the keshi bootleg. Between the Predator face and the MC Hammer camo-pants, it might just be the coolest keshi I have.
