A friend of mine stumbled across these in Taiwan: View this post on Instagram I saw a mention of these by @michael on the Nag thread here, but my friend also sent this: https://note.com/jackallsasaki/n/nd836710135fc I thought I knew about most of the zanier Bandai kit series from the 80s but these really take the cake. Rubber and resin parts plus traditional styrene sprues and wacky designs. I dig 'em.
Yeah these are like home office / appliance monsters with little gimmicks. Tape dispensers etc. still fairly easy to find in Japan as well, I saw a handful on my last trip. They always pop up on auction sites when you search yokai as well
