Pictured. 

 

I've seen some similar, kaiju-like keshi that were said to be Chinese and from Ultraman, but I can't tell if these are the same set. 

 

Anyone know what they are and what kind of value they hold? Thanks!

 

[Rubberhammer]

I have the starfish looking one.

I would be interested in these, if you plan to get rid of them, once they are identified.

[Mollusk]

Cool. I've got some more, I just pictured this lot for the identification.

 

Odd though - I only have one of the starfish when I've got all of the others in multiple colors. 

[Screamer]

I would be interested in the starfish one... Unfortunately I am no help with identifying them and thus to their monetary value. Good luck!!

[Rubberhammer]

I've got another one with the same markings that I don't see in your pic.
I beleive I have put them up for ID before, but no one knew what they were.

PM me, if you do decide to sell any of them.

[Aikola]

I would be interested in some too.

No, definitely Japanese, and definitely not from Ultraman. The character names seem to be written on each figure, and we were able to determine the channel whatever-these-are-from likely aired on, but not the series or the characters themselves. The very likely scenario is that these kaiju are villains from some series, but nobody has figured out which yet.

 

If you can get a decent picture of at least one of your monster's names, that could be an immense help to identifying them. I think I only managed about half or three quarters of the name of the only one I'd gotten a similar pic of in the past.

So I'm guessing these aren't the figs from Monster Toss or Can Full of Monsters? Figured if they were someone would have said it by now. Sweet Craw Wyrm table btw

Thanks dude. I made that thing several years ago, just tiling them on top of a coffee table that had seen better days. 6/4 for 6, baby!

 

I've attached some photos where I tried to get a decent shot of the markings on their feet, but its hard to find some where that info is unblemished. (These, assuming someone will be able to interpret the Japanese characters if even able to read them)

One more attempt:

[Mollusk]

No one else?  

 

Shame, I was hoping to find out more about these guys, well, because KAIJU. 

[Rubberhammer]

Like I said, man.
No one could ID mine either.

[BaltanII]

They haven't been identified in about two years; expecting a positive ID in three days is a lot to ask.

 

Sadly, the copyright info on the feet is of no help other than to confirm that these monsters are all part of the same series. The info on the left foot I haven't been able to translate or fully make out, while the name on the right foot is フジテレビ, which is Fuji TV, the Japanese station that aired whatever show included these kaiju, which I determined with outside help back in 2012.

 

What info you should have that is currently missing is each monster's name - at least, that's what we've all been assuming the name is. On all the figures I've previously seen, this was stamped somewhere on their backs, not the feet. See if your figures have a Japanese name somewhere on their backs, because if I can get just one positive ID from a name, this case ought to be as good as closed!

 

EDIT: From this thread I know the frilled bug-eyed kaiju is _ラックホラー, which is "something" Horror. I can't tell precisely what the first katakana is and my guesses only result in gibberish.

Mystery solved - all of these monsters are from Megaloman.

 

Megaloman is one of the toku series, a more obscure one created by Toho, which I mentioned way back had aired on Fuji TV.

 

Mollusk contacted me directly with some pics of the backs of figures and happened to include one he never photographed from the front in this thread, which was sporting some wild long hair... a trademark of Megaloman's design. And when he sent me front images...

 

 

That sealed the deal! All of these kaiju come from Megaloman.
