I want to know where the idea of giving Ramenman a spinoff came from. It just seemed to be an odd thing to do, as the anime turned out to be very similar to kinnikuman. They both had a small sidekick and a sensei who were constantly trying to steer them in the right direction. Also they didn't make any keshi or figures based off of the anime that I am aware of, but let me know if you have information on that. Otherwise It just seemed to be a bit of a business waste if it wasn't marketed with toys and all like kinnikuman was. Let me know what you think, and any new information on the series would be cool to know.

They made a couple keshi sets from this. one set being more rare than the other, but they are well known.

The Rare set was a candy box set where the figures have accessories, dont know of an archive.

Excellent, I was not aware of these and its good to know about them. I only found out about the Spinoff anime last month, and as I had never heard of it or any figures being produced it was confusing why it was made. Anime almost always provokes other merchandise, such as toys or manga. Do you know if any full color figures were produced?

yeah they had a lot of merchandise for Ramon man

Wonderful, I feel a lot better about the whole thing now. Before all I knew about was the Famicom game. I wanted to start collecting the stuff if there were other merchandise, but I just couldn't seem to find any, is it considered to be rare?

[Ericnilla]

Not rare, but you have to buy it from japan on Yahoo Auctions, these dont usually pop up on ebay.

That explains why I had such trouble finding them, thanks for all the help!
