I just stumbled onto the "canfull of monsters" page, and immediately recognized them. A couple years ago I encountered the same molds at a party favor wholesaler, in a uniform black and green color scheme. They were being sold 100 for $10, and I couldn't resist buying four bags of them. Yeah, I blew $40 on these things.

This is every unique sculpt, sadly not as many as the canfull line (lacking that rad-looking beetle) :


Closeup of the cool paint job:



Incidentally, the monsters themselves are Ultraman bad guys. The original molds were probably for vending machines in Japan.

I still have my whole bucket of 400, if anybody wants some let me know!

Ha, pretty cool. I think Midge has and posted some pics of those as well. You're correct that they are Ultraman figures, which Canfull/Monster Toss is as well. However, besides this sculpt:



I don't see any other sculpts shared by these two lines. I could be TOTALLY wrong, but I don't have any of the above sculpts in my Canfull figures (besides the one I just posted), and I'm not seeing any in the pictures on Toypedia.

Definitely thanks for sharing though! I'm not trying to be a party shizznitter!

The eighth one in my first photo (looks like a clump of blueberries) can be seen in toypedia's pics of the canfull guys as well

I wouldn't be surprised if there were several hundred sculpts in the original set, various Ultraman have tackled over a thousand kaiju!

scythemantis- welcome to the boards, and thanks for the pics, what other lines do you collect/have intrest in.

[scythemantis]

I have a shelves upon shelves of muscles, mimps, fistfuls, trash bag bunch, z-bots, germs, battle beasts, vending toys, finger puppets, jigglers, action figure sidekicks (ghostbusters mini-ghosts, TMNT mini figures, etc.) mighty max, war planets, I could go on. I collect anything else to do with monsters, insects or Halloween as well, of any size.

Nice, all on display too. Most of mine are in drawers right now. I need to reorganize to get more stuff out.

Full collections or just sculpts that appeal to you?

I have a mix of both.

[scythemantis]

There are very few things I have complete collections of, except for some extremely small lines like Gremlin Creatures. I don't make much money and am easily satisfied with just my favorites from a given line, though I can have some exceedingly long "favorites" lists.

I've actually moved twice in one year since I last took pictures, so everything I own is in carefully sorted boxes. Currently staying with family while hunting for a new home, so they'll have to wait a while to get air again.

i would be interested in a few im new here,i love this site tho-seems really cool that people share and trade minifigs...but as said would love to get a 100 if price is decent.

I'd be willing to trade you for the cat looking guy on the bottom row, if you still have 'em. 

He's ornery looking.

I recall a razorback/hog looking one with both arms (which were tusks) raised over its head.  That and the 2nd to the right on the 2nd line below were my favorites. Next was the 1st on the left of the top rowI recall a razorback/hog looking one with both arms (which were tusks) raised over its head.  That and the 2nd to the right on the 2nd line below were my favorites.
