    Dunno, but they remind me of this one (missing clear plastic helmet) . . . .

    Ooh a friend of mine has some of these (helmets included). Maybe he'll know something...

    Damn, those Exogini are lovely, Moog!! They were actually my first foray in MUSCLE/Kinnikuman, having found a couple of the 'clear' fellas at a flea market in my youth. That equalled immediate love and instant addiction for me (and general small weirdos and keshi figures followed). I didn't know anything about them, but boy did they enjoy some healthy love and adventures. :) I am sure they came along with me on many journeys. Boy, that really brings me back, thanks for sharing them!

    Those Exogini figures are a great find @The Moog. It's hard to find them on the cheap, especially the clear ones like you have there. :thumbsup:

    I'm always happy when I find these on my travels, but this time was bitter sweet . . .

    They were in a little box that also contained approximately 12 heads of various kinkeshi & exogini, along with a few random arms, legs and torso's. Like that little shit in Toy Story, some kid had got snip-happy with scissors and mutilated a bunch of cool toys . . . . a large percentage were missing. A few had little tacks in them, like the kid had been making Frankenstein mini-figures. Cutting them up and swapping body parts around.

    I gathered up the survivors, and left the remains in the box. It was too much of a downer to take the roughly snipped heads and other bits with me. Oh, the humanity!!!!

    Enough to make a toy collector cry. Grumble, grumble. Bloody kids and their wild disregard for toy collectability!

    Saying that, I'm very grateful to give a home to the survivors of such atrocities . . . they will be safe with me.

    So the toy gods have led me to another crusty case in a thrift place, and this time I took all of them.

    :shock:

    Wazoo!? Damn man. Rei, are you sure you don't have a hidden time machine in one of your closets you don't know about? (* which of course, also acts as a transporter to Japan) I really can't see any other explanation to your incredible hauls of these vintage toys, other than coming [nearly] straight from the source.

    What an incredible stash of Popy figures you uncovered there. So incredible to see period, let alone from such a wonderful thrift find. A great mix of characters and licenses. I love it man. Seriously though, when can I come along on one of these journeys?

    Woah Mama!!!

    What a find. They look in great condition, too. I wonder what you will uncover next?
    I bet your eyes popped out on stalks when you saw them . . . . :D

    Another larger bootleg. Love the mixed vinyl colours on this one . . . .
    £1 at a boot-sale. 9" high. The red light on his chest still works - bonus!

    I'm pretty sure this is a puzzle, where - by moving one block at a time - you have to get the King to exit from the bottom.[/QUOTE]

    3 more Choro-Q (Penny Racer) for my collection.
    25p each at a boot-sale.

    It would be nice if i could find some of the original GID versions i used to play with when i was a kid.
    But i doubt very much that will ever happen . . .

    Couple more i've picked up at boots over the last few months . . . .

    This F1 is interesting. Looks like somebody used the Takara spring 'engine' and back wheels and bootlegged a car around them.

    The stickers were a shitty mess on this one, so i peeled them and cleaned off the glue.

    ^ I'm a fool for Choro-Q cuteness!
    Found this Ghost Rider (new in box) on a discount table at a comics place for $20.
    It's the only character I've wanted from this toy line 8)

    That is a cool toy. I like the clean lines of the body sculpt next to the more textured skull and flames.
    Nice find mate. I think i would of grabbed him, too.

    I've been waiting to find a Bucky in good condition. They are usually in a terrible state.
    Finally found one . . . . 20p at a boot-sale :)
