Thanks, Ralph. These guys are really fun. Collecting NH is very similar to US Toys (looks-wise they are totally opposites ) in that somehow they don't seem to be rare but also don't pop up too often. Errr, I'm not sure what I'm saying, do you?!
It is the only glowie Gyango I know of, so it definitely has a special place in my heart. Gyango seems like he would be more popular than he is, as far as toys go.
This is the other version of Gyango (stock image). I think it might also be GID, you can kind of see that look to the vinyl near the neck, but it would make it strange since all other figures were made in a solid and a GID form. I was hoping for a much more similar paint on this one to the other solid series, to differentiate it more (and I would have liked him darker).
Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing that pic on the website long ago, but I have never seen one in the wild. I've never seen another blue like mine, either. I am guessing NH production numbers must be all over the place, since some of the figures turn up all the time and others I have literally never come across.
Better pics when I get it in hand, but I just won this Majin Bander on YJA. I've never seen it before, but a little research shows there is a og colored non GID version as well. Anyone know anything about it? I love that it comes with both heads!
Yeah, the brown version is pretty common. I have seen it come up for sale several times. I have also seen him in a black version and an all-red one. The GID one is new to me though, very nice score.
Great thread! The version of the NH Kanegon posted by kurumonz haunts my dreams… a long-stander on my want list. I had completely forgotten about their Gyango- it’s really terrific, as well. Never saw that orange one before!
Took some pics of some more of the minis I have. Here is a trio of Pagos, Peguila, and Booska as a candy container:
Wasn't there a series of clear minis as well... I'd use the search function but am on an iPad... -EDIT: found them. All pics by COOP. -2nd EDIT: By Pilot Ace, not NH. Thanks akum6n for setting me (and COOP?) straight.

Oh? They were identified by him as NH here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=34967&p=560268&hilit=Nostalgic+heroes#p560268
