    ^ Love it ! I need to rep Doraemon on the shelves at some point.

    Lulubell had this little Tomy Yokai listed as part of the GeGeGe crew , but I thought Tomy just did a series of five 'generic' figures....no?

    ^^ They did 6 standard releases of Yokai . . . but they also did a few festival exclusive ones that are much, much harder to find.
    I've never managed to grab them. They are always too expensive or go too quick.

    I think a few of these are very similar to the larger vintage Nitto figures.
    . . . . and yeah, Hitotsume Kozo you have there is not exclusive to GeGeGe no Kitaro.

    The standard Tomy releases:

    Here's someone else's photo including the festival exclusives:

    Tomy also did these 3 Daimajin in the same size that totally rule too . . .

    Seems like at least once a year this discussion goes on in this thread, ha! I love those little shrinkies.

    A little further clarification - The Tomy series is of characters that they licensed from two film series that Daiei made in the late sixties: Daimajin and Yokai Monsters.

    All six films should be required viewing for membership at SB, in my opinion.

    Several of the minis are shrink-downs of or tributes to toys that were originally produced by Nitto, and a couple are variations on old Marusans. Fun layers of history, no?

    CT Mike covered the first two Daiei runs on his site:

    He also gave a little space to the five original Nittos:

    I saw a horrible movie recently called Snowpiercer and those "deserts" look a lot like the lumps of shit the poor people had to eat at the back of the train. (Also, Mmmmmmmm Soilent Green)

    In the movie they were made from roaches and looked the same but it's funny because the film apparently made sales of the red bean jelly bars skyrocket in korea.
