    Most of the OGs and minis were released in beige flesh vinyl at some point:

    (The OGs were released in sets of 3 at various events.)

    Ichibanboshi
    Gatchigon
    Shinto-san

    Mutant Head
    Mutant Bigaro
    Jinja-R

    Mutant Chaos
    Akrokaiser
    Mutant Evil

    (The flesh minis were mostly sold from Shinto Gangu, from what I could tell. They are not as common as the OG size flesh figures, which were event releases.)

    Mini Mutant Head
    Mini Mutant Evil
    Mini Mutant Bigaro
    Mini Mutant Chaos
    Mini Fighter Chaos
    Mini Akrokaiser
    Mini Organ Bat
    Mini Jinja-R

    (Not all of the Kaikya minis were released in flesh vinyl. Mini Beast was an event release; the others seem to have been sold from Shinto Gangu. About the same rarity as the Mutant Zone flesh minis.)

    Mini Beast Chaos
    Mini Mummy Glove
    Mini Uchuu-man
    Mini Flyder

    In addition, there are a fair number of test shots of the other figures in beige flesh vinyl, which makes it a little confusing to figure out which ones are normal releases and which ones are really rare test shots. For example, I have seen flesh test shots of both the OG size Beast Chaos and Cyclomagnon.

    Chaos Trooper was the only adult size RxH figure to be released in flesh vinyl, as far as I can remember.

    Thanks @akum6n !! Looks like there's another few years (at least) worth of hunting and tracking the rest of these down.. thank you for taking the time to make a checklist!

    I experienced my first RxH lotto in Japan at Mori’s shop just a couple hours ago. Got myself a brand new Mutant Head fighter, and it’s amazing. Photos to follow later.

    Amazing; I have so little insight into how it works at the source so I'm looking forward to them!

    Mori posted a pic of today’s store releases. The MH looks familiar, seems like an old version. Anyway, interesting that he is resurrecting the fighters.

    Similar/same version was released back in 2009. One of the last MHs with the full set of paint masks (the free-spray micro runs began shortly afterward). I wonder if these are reissues or old stock.

    @xSuicide Squadx Yes, photos please!

    These two certainly aren't the best photos to showcase the colors, but the lighting wasn't at all optimal in the arcade. I just thought it was awesome and appropriate. I'll definitely have better visuals when I get home to the lightbox.

    That was one of my favorite mutant head releases from back in the day.

    Color me confused . . . why re-release this again?

    For dweebs like me that never appreciated his fighters for more than face value. :lol:

    Congrats on winning the lotto with the MH. I remember hearing from Luke that Mori favors the paint masks over freehand spray, so I'm not totally surprised to see the masked Heads return.

    I have the same MH, and as a weird coincidence, I bought it from Shinto Gangu on my first (and only) visit 9 years ago.

    Maybethere was an interest expressed among newer fans and he made a batch. Maybe Mori is like a musician playing on oldie when the mood strikes.

    Maybe so, although Mori always struck me to be more of a 'moving forward' kinda guy!

    It was the mini Kamen Rider tribute dropped on the same day that made me moist at the loins! :shock:

    This guy looks a little darker than the guys in BTC's pic but definitely seems to belong to the 'Flesh' family!

    The black Dokuro-magnon looks great, particularly in your style of photograph. Is it just glossy black vinyl or pearl black?

    @akum6n Thank you, Daniel! It is glossy, black vinyl. Fantastic in hand.

    Very nice. I just want a nice chaosman for the shelf--but the aftermarket is brutal. I hope you can find one for close to retail.

    Has Mori been making fortune cats or other traditional Japanese figures (like the tanooki) lately? Haven't seen many new ones around, but maybe I just don't know where to look.

    ^^^ over 6 years lurking and that's the question that forms the basis of your first ever post? :lol:

    Not so much and probably not!

    best place to see what's being released is on their IG: @realxhead, but unless you are going to the store on a release day (or an event release), the secondary market is your only option.
