3 figures from a recent haul have me stumped:









The first guy says "Creata 1986"

The second one should be easy for you guys.

The third one is a transforming ball with no markings.

Thanks!!

Yeah, the second one is really easy. It's kid Goku from Dragonball. It's obviously a keshi, are you looking for something more specific, like year of manufacture?

[Draznar]

The transforming ball is like those Bakugans. Could be a knock off??

[Scar1321]

Thanks Ironmask! No, I was just looking for some basic info. I can figure out the rest on my own. I'm not very up to speed on a lot of the Japanese keshis... I'm more in to the American MUSCLE line.

Draznar, I could be a KO... It's pretty good quality, though. I thought it might be vintage...

[ironmask]

Is it made out of metal, or is that vacuumed chrome?

[Scar1321]

I'll have to double check when I get home. It's kind of heavy, so I'm thinking metal...

The transforming ball is based on one of the Microman sub-line Microchange figures from Takara that didn't end up becoming a G1 Transformer (the Autobot mini cars, Megatron, Soundwave, Perceptor etc originated from this line while the larger cars, jets and dinos/insects came from Diaclone), designated MC16 Hawk. Gold and silver versions of the sphere based Microchangers saw an unlicensed release in the west during the 80s, hence the lack of any Takara copyright info on this one.

Bringin' the heat!!

Very nice Waaaag! You rock!

[waaaaghlord]

Just done a bit more checking since it had been a while since I've seen one of these and it looks like the full latinised version of the name for MC16 is Shooting Star Robo Metal Hawk. I found a Takara original that sold for £40 on ebay UK at the end of last year, not sure what sort of price range these KOs are going for at the moment.

Not sure exactly on the first figure but I know that Creata was behind the manufacture of Troll Dolls and judging by the appearance of this guy, he could be related to the Troll line.

Cheers,

The first picture I don't remember the name of the toyline, but they were soft foam 'grotesque' figures. I had one that had a snake through his eyeball and such-- it tore up easily, and I was one who took care of my things, so the condition is amazing on that one.

[Scar1321]

Orgg, I think you're thinking of Mash 'Ems... I had a few of them before. This one is hard plastic.

Those Mash 'ems were pretty cool, though! And like you said most of them haven't made it to present day in very good condition...
