Hey guys, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might search (on ebay) for Canfull of Monsters figures? What terms do you suggest?
I use "Rubber monsters" a lot but the results get clogged up with "Monster energy drink" bracelets and model Monster Truck tires. A LOT. I have tried "small rubber dinosaurs" and variations, but I have had such poor results that i thought I'd ask for some help.
CANFULL OF MONSTERS --- search suggestions?

When you're typing into the search box, you can put a hyphen (-) before each word you DON'T want to appear in the search results.
For example, you could put:
Monsters -drink -energy -truck -wheels -pokemon -moshi
etc...
If that makes sense?

They dont pop up much on ebay, but they are just Ultraman Kaiju from japan re-released here in the US. I believe they are bootlegs of the original and a hair smaller than the real ones. You can find them on YAJ in mass lots most of the time.

Oh yeah, I always have -moshi in there, bloody things must constitute about 90% of the monster auctions out there.

I had NO IDEA I could omit terms on ebay. This is maybe the best news I have ever had.
I have never used YAJ, which I assume is Yahoo Japan? Is this a regular practice? Is it safe, economical, etc? Can someone post here an example of a listing that includes the Ultra Kaiju?
Also are the Japanese and American ones made of the same material?

UGH. I searched for "Rubber monsters" and got like 400 results. I added "-tire" to the search to eliminate the monster truck parts. I wound up with 9 results. STUPID BULLSH*T EBAY.
