I was lucky enough to stumble across a giant lot of Keshi figures from a guy in Japan, for pretty damn cheap too.
I spotted some Godzilla Keshi in the lot first, then I noticed these very cool rubbery monster figures mixed in the lot!
I practically bought the lot there, and have awaited their arrival for almost 2 weeks when they arrived this morning!
These figures are waaay cool, and remind me of MIMP! >-<
I thought I'd post them up here in case anyone knew what they are!
I can't beleive how lucky I was with this lot! 500 g of rubbery goodness! :lol:

(Also got heaps of neat keshi Power Ranger figures which I should post up too, tiny like about 1" tall,
not to mention Ultraman, Kinnikuman & other random robots and figures... oh, & a Wolverine!).

Here is a link where I won the lot.
Ebay Auction

Here are some pics, the colours are very different form MIMP, and kind of mix with pinky/purples/blue/greys.
They are more squishy then MIMP are, and slightly smaller in stature...
(About the same height, but MIMP are kinda cartoony and chunky).

Check these bad boys out, and if anyone knows what they're from please let me know!

The whole army!!!

These guys are much more a pale blue colour kind of like the O'nell set of OMFG figures, the true colour doesn't show well here.

From the left -> right.
Front: manticore/chimaera, Demon, ???-skull face+skull on tummy.
Middle: Rock Egg Monster, Pitcher plant!, Cthulhu Priest?, Witch/Sorceress, Cthulhu Priest.
Back Section: Starfish man, Cyborg Cyclops in Robe..., Werewolf, Minotaur, Clay/Slime Golem?, Skull Bat (With funny poopshoot butt, :rolleyes: )

Posted Image
These dark bluish green figures are very nice.

From the left -> right.
Cyclops, Snake Lord, AWESOME Zombie (with cyborg leg), 3 funny gnomes.

Posted Image
Thee are a Lavender colour.
Front row: dragon pup & a very cool Kappa!!!
Back row: ???-Chick, Stingray Man, Toad Warrior, 6-legged lizard, 3 headed hydra.

Posted Image
Starting to think the chick on the left isn't part of this set, she's a smidgen taller and looks like she can hold a weapon!
You can see the Kappas face better in this pic.

Posted Image
These guys are pink, but have a tinge of pale purple like lavender to them too.
(Middle group of 4 figures)

From left to right,
Giant Crab, Fish-man!, Skull bat with poopshoot butt, Lizard Warrior.

The group behind the pinkish/purple ones ARE pink. :confused:

Front group, from left to right:
Gnome, fly guy (missing 1 hand), Cthulhu Priest, 2 tree monsters, Toad Warrior.

Posted Image
The 3 in the very back row: The Flame Warrior & The Wizard & Samurai are lighter in colour, particularly the Wizard who is very pale pink.

Posted Image
These last two are a strange colour (Metallic Orange) - Im not even sure they're from the same series...
One is a Wizard the other a Knight.


I think these guys are awesome!
Would really like to hear/see more about them, like how many figures/colours/series are available.

yeah they are pretty popular, and are almost never seen outside of japan. you can pretty much only find them on Yahoo Auctions Japan (YAJ), and the only way to bid is through a proxy bidding service since outsiders of japan cant register.

if you have any doubles, or ever get any let me know. :D

Thanks NanoFatato!

Yep, the hot water got them changing their colour!
The dark green/blueish becomes a neon aqua colour, the grey become light blue, pink goes cream...
very cool little figures!

Great find you got there! I've been trying to start up a collection of these myself. I think the sculpts are so cool, especially all the crazy monsters. Here are mine so far (hopefully be able to add to them soon):

Yeah, on that Japanese Necro's site it says they are hobgoblin, medusa, tacolos, bealzelb and kappa.

You got a bunch of cool ones. For some reason I'm really feeling that crab dude. He's awesome!
