The other monster ones LOOK similar to Monsters In My Pocket, PALMER monsters, DIENER monsters, & Gee Gee No Kitaro Monsters...but, they are NONE of those. YOu have me stumped and I have seen a ton of obscure vintage 60's-present toys...are they foreign? If so, maybe from a Japanese toyline like Gee Gee No Kitaro.
I hope someone here can identify them. I too would LOVE to know what they are. Thanks for sharing the photo.

Nope, not GUTS. But I don't know what they are either.The guys on the right I THINK are G.U.T.S.

Are there any date stamps or other lettering on any of the figures?

The 2 military guys are stamped 1987 SOMA and made in China. The other figures are not stamped and they are a hard plastic unlike monsters in my pocket. Im stumped too LOL
Ahh...that helps .
I dont know this first hand but a small rubber space man type figure that i have is also stamped SOMA. I asked a friend who specializes in imports (particularly small items) and he said they are very common gum ball machine toys (and he actually owned a few of the type that i have).
Considering they are made by the same company.... *shrugs*

The military guys on the right I think should be easier. I have a small pink wrestler figure that is also marked SOMA 1986. He is on my website http://oznightshade....onstermysteries. I've seen these guys before but information on SOMA is scarce.

The guys on the left are the type of thing I collect but I've never seen them before in my hunts.

That last one could well be getting close. Sadly ebay is often the best research tool on the net.

Not to jack this thread but THESE are really cool, and I've never seen them before!
p.s. I have no idea what the figures at the start of this thread are
