Back in 2008 I snatched these Jagun Fighters on Ebay. They're for some weird collectable tradeable game thing that never took off over here. I keep them in a CD spindle case, which itself is rapidly becoming a relic of the past.

As far as I know, I have them all. Some of the sets were these three packs where one of the figures were hidden. The three packs were named and I got one of each, so I don't know if the "mystery figure" varied from pack to pack. These are some of my favorite sculpts:

The cool thing about these figures is their heft, as they're intended to be used in a weird dice game. They also have exotic molds based on Asian mythology. And finally, they feature excellent paint jobs which include dark washes to bring out the mold details.
Ben 10 was a kid sci-fi cartoon that ran for years and dominated store shelves. I never liked the cartoons, and the toys never caught my interest, except for these strange Sumo Slammers.

For some reason all the characters of the show were transformed into these super-deformed sumo wrestler guys. Most of the molds are really cool, have excellent painted detail, and have a decent heft.

I'm also really digging the new Mega Bloks super articulated figures that began debuting around 2015 or so? I'm into the Terminator, Halo and TMNT Classic lines. I kind of want an army of T-1000s.

Later I'll post my muscle figures and assorted keshi.
EDIT: It's later! Here's more stuff:
This is my sparse bootleg MUSCLE collection. I found the gold kinnikuman at a ToysRUs 25 cent machine before I even knew what MUSCLE was, so I have very fond memories of losing my shit upon discovering it and recognizing it from my childhood.

These are my 25 cent machine Soma ninja bootlegs. I love them, but they're kind of hard to find. They don't have the ugly loop on the top of their heads, and they're smaller and a harder plastic than the typical bootlegs you'd see in machines. I wish I had handfuls of these guys.

My two Fist of the North Star/Hokuto no Ken Keshi. I'm a huge fan of this anime and manga, so I love these a lot. Paired with my only non-flesh MUSCLE for reference.

These are by far my favorite ULTIMATE MUSCLE toys. They were a pre-order bonus when people in Japan ordered a PS3 game or something. I love how the proportions and posing resemble original kinkeshi. I wish the rest of the ULTIMATE MUSCLE toys resembled the same style.

Would you believe the only ULTIMATE MUSCLE figures I care about are the flesh colored ones? I stopped trying to get them all many years ago. I'm not sure how many are left.

My baby keshi. I'm too lazy to figure out of these are bootlegs are not.
