I just stumbled onto the "canfull of monsters" page, and immediately recognized them. A couple years ago I encountered the same molds at a party favor wholesaler, in a uniform black and green color scheme. They were being sold 100 for $10, and I couldn't resist buying four bags of them. Yeah, I blew $40 on these things.

This is every unique sculpt, sadly not as many as the canfull line (lacking that rad-looking beetle) :

Incidentally, the monsters themselves are Ultraman bad guys. The original molds were probably for vending machines in Japan.

I still have my whole bucket of 400, if anybody wants some let me know!

Ha, pretty cool. I think Midge has and posted some pics of those as well. You're correct that they are Ultraman figures, which Canfull/Monster Toss is as well. However, besides this sculpt:

I don't see any other sculpts shared by these two lines. I could be TOTALLY wrong, but I don't have any of the above sculpts in my Canfull figures (besides the one I just posted), and I'm not seeing any in the pictures on Toypedia.

Definitely thanks for sharing though! I'm not trying to be a party shizznitter!

The eighth one in my first photo (looks like a clump of blueberries) can be seen in toypedia's pics of the canfull guys as well :(

I wouldn't be surprised if there were several hundred sculpts in the original set, various Ultraman have tackled over a thousand kaiju!

I have a shelves upon shelves of muscles, mimps, fistfuls, trash bag bunch, z-bots, germs, battle beasts, vending toys, finger puppets, jigglers, action figure sidekicks (ghostbusters mini-ghosts, TMNT mini figures, etc.) mighty max, war planets, I could go on. I collect anything else to do with monsters, insects or Halloween as well, of any size.

Nice, all on display too. Most of mine are in drawers right now. I need to reorganize to get more stuff out.

Full collections or just sculpts that appeal to you?

I have a mix of both.

There are very few things I have complete collections of, except for some extremely small lines like Gremlin Creatures. I don't make much money and am easily satisfied with just my favorites from a given line, though I can have some exceedingly long "favorites" lists.

I've actually moved twice in one year since I last took pictures, so everything I own is in carefully sorted boxes. Currently staying with family while hunting for a new home, so they'll have to wait a while to get air again.

I'd be willing to trade you for the cat looking guy on the bottom row, if you still have 'em. 

He's ornery looking.

I recall a razorback/hog looking one with both arms (which were tusks) raised over its head.  That and the 2nd to the right on the 2nd line below were my favorites.
