Would you mind if I steal all, or at least some, of this hard work for a section of the UofM website? I'd like to flesh out all the information I started putting together here and here.

EDIT by Veers: You didn't need to quote all the pictures.

Go for it. I plan on creating an entry for Toypedia that addresses gumabll/vending machine boots as well. With a slew of resource pictures like this, it's a no brainer.Would you mind if I steal all, or at least some, of this hard work for a section of the UofM website?
@ Garatron
Just to be clear, I wasn't looking for these to be identified. We've already seen an identified most -- if not all of these -- here in this forum. However, if someone feels inclined to ID all these boots, by all means do.

Seriously though i wanted to buy that one with the giant King 100 Ton and Pinchman figures so bad. Just to see up close what they're made of since they're so bendy and weird looking. Alas, just can't bring myself to drop real money on bootlegs. No matter now much i love 'em.

Are the Pinchman and King John 100-Ton sculpts from the 4" Keshi, or are they from the Dekakeshi?
And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

Space Sheriff Sharivan, a Toei Metal Heroes series. Not this particular one, but some of the other Metal Heroes shows were combined into what you might know as VR Troopers.

thanks S4P! One thing that has always bothered me about these is that it would appear they're are two different sets. I have a load of the vending machine ones in the original picture but only a couple of the ones on the Crater Critter website. Were they ALL released as cereal premiums? or just one of the sets?

ya know, i'm not really sure. i DO know that when they were made in australia (R&L) they were cereal premiums, but the molds were sold to a mexican factory and thats where some of the later versions come from. in the US the original ones are hard to come by - you have to be careful cuz some of the mexican ones still have "australia" marked on the base.
the few i have are marked "hong kong" and are most likely from a g-ball machine or arcade prize.

Only ones I have now are the square video game guys, all my transformers I had to build broke as well as those bank warriors.
Never got the egg creature or transformer watch or half of transformer robots.
I wanna cry I remember I busted my but doing chores for my parents to get allowance to buy these. Was actually trying to get the collection but the store kept adding the same common items.
If any are for sale let me know, I'm not into the muscle bootlegs or plain figures just transforming things and banks and egg guys.
By any chance when virtual pets were out, did you ever stumble upon the Dino virtual pet in gumball machines? Think it was an egg with Dino head sticking out. I was one plastic ball away when the machine broke and I never got it...
