I'm looking for a good source of information regarding Gargamel kaiju: pics, names, sculptors, release dates, and various form factors the characters have been created in. If anyone knows of a good site, please let me know.

Wow, that site is badass. I don't usually care for full color toys, preferring mono-color keshi and such, but these are so unique and colorful and rad :)
I've never heard of the series, either, but my interest has definitely been piqued :D

Like coffee? I roast for a living! Check it out at caffepacori.com
Ask me about trading coffee for your spare M.U.S.C.L.E.S.! I'll take most, regardless of condition :D

What member? [I see, I thought you meant member of LRG.]

The figures in the above pic are Micro Kaiju released by Gargamel. Their names are Huliji's Ghost, Ooze Bat, Helper, Angel Bird, Zagoran, and Killer Whale. I had to google all over the interwebs to figure that out though. I know there are several larger versions of all these characters as well. The Helper was sculpted by Tim Biskup. I'm looking for a site that has a bunch of info all in one place.

The Gargamel Micro line is fantastic I have several myself. Probably the place with the most information about this line and company in general would be the skullbrain message board.

The toys are a mix of gargamel figures and figures from other artists. As you said the helper is by Tim Biskup. The sleeping killer is by Bwana spoons. Ooze Bat is by Bryan Flynn. Huliji's Ghost is by Le Merde. Angel Bird is by Katope.

Yup, what he said.

Zagaron is by Kiyoka Ikeda of Gargamel. Gargamel produced all those figures as part of collaborations with those artists listed above..

While those sculpts have been around for a few years those colors are all SDCC 2011 exclusives.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess ill just google each character one at a time. I think lots of info gets lost in translation. Itll be cool to have info on these guys all in one place.

Is samtan a micro kaiju? Are there any other micro kaiju that i dont have pictured above?

in that website biz posted in this thread the pic that says JENX under the big yellow fig is a smaller white-ish fig with red eyes and mouth, does anyone know who or what its name is and how I could get one? it reminds me of the creature in the old TV series "Tales from the Darkside" the creature under the bed, damn I'm 35 and that lil bugger still freaks me out.

Sametan is not a micro toy he is about 4 inches tall. I think the only Micro you don't have listed is the Micro Miborah but that is because very few people have them and they hardly ever go up for sale.
