Check out this incredible Ultraman Kaiju "keshi" mini-figure set I recently acquired. The packaging is amazing, and it even includes a neat "hard-plastic" Ultraman figure that can be launched with a parachute! There is also a pretty awesome assortment of mint keshi figures in there...
Wait, what? What exactly do you mean when talking about Ultraman premiums?

This odd lot popped up a few weeks ago, but I was outbid in the last seconds. Luckily, the seller had another lot, and I was able to secure the next 20 figures...

Thanks for the answer in your collection thread, even if you didn't know that much about them. It would not be easy at all to find out the origin of these guys, but the exact copyright line and the numbers each figure you own has would certainly help. Damn, I gotta get some of these.
Just you wait until I'm home. I have a neat set of tiny unpainted gashapons of my own from three or so years ago that I'm hoping to share with you guys and the Toypedia page as well. It's also a set that still has figures coming out even now.

If I come across any more lots I'll let you in on it. I'll also try to dig up more information on these. Cheers, CTM
I think I'm in love...

Hi Cheaptoyman,
They are really interesting figures. Unfortunately I also know very little about them. I doubt our chances at finding much out because of their origin. If I do manage to find out anything I will let you know. If you could do the same I would appreciate it.
Cheers, Phil

Kewl keshi pack CTM. I've seen a few on YJP recently, but sadly I don;t really collect Ultraman or Godzilla, so I tend to pass them by.

The figures each have copyright or factory markings in 3 different backside locations. There is some Japanese "line-text" after a copyright "c" on each figure, as well as the letter "F", and then a number like "65" or "106"...

Here's a better "natural light" shot of Earthtron's copyright details...everything looks pretty obvious here. I'm sending this photo over to the Japanese Kaiju forums to get a translation, and perhaps an origin of these wonderful figures.

Cheaptoyman's comment on the hard plastic Ultraman that can be launched with a parachute lends weight to this idea. They hit the right timeline too, considering I bought 'em when I was a kid in the late 70's.
Still these are pretty sweet looking. I particularily love the bulk style packaging.

That Sky Blue guy is close, Soups! Several people have contacted me trying to match some of their Kaiju to this lot and so far only one person has matched any of these. I will continue my search...and post my findings as they come along...cheers.
how tall are these figures~?
