Not really sure if these are vintage or not but can you help identify names and maker? It's for a friend that dug them up. thanks!
Left is U-tom and right is Red King. They are Ultra kaiju, as are I THINK the other two. Pretty sure they're Bandai?
thanks Ben. With that hint, found COOP's Ultra Kaiju Database on flickr. Satan Beetle and Skydon are the other two.
Buh? http://clubtokyo.org/listings/itemListi ... entID=2275 http://clubtokyo.org/listings/itemListi ... entID=1350
Skydon rules, I've always liked the "man crawling" kaiju Red King's not so bad either, I don't have that one.
Satan Beetle is a classic. One of the best kaiju out there. For bandai, they exist in orange, purple or gray vinyl.
Unburying toys in the basement and found this pachi vintage monster... Does anyone know anything about him? Not sure who the maker is. Paint is in great condition, he looks new. Metallic shine on silver oversprays on the sides of the body and claws. Any help would be greatly appreciated! No logo or toy-maker markings on foot or body
https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/mypage/bidItemInfoEn.html?index=738968 I just purchased this same figure on Mandarake during Zenbu Auction - its the same right? Details: (item number) 2283 (title) Godzilla type, one-horned Kaiju, gray molding, brown, black, red, silver paint (maker) Unauthorized Rights (the date of issue) 1970s (size) 200 mm (Country) Japan (Material) Sofubi (detailed) Main item 8 (paint scratched) (starting bid price) 20,000 yen (comment) [Godzilla type one-sided monster] , A monster with an unknown manufacturer that has a one-sided shape similar to Godzilla. It is smaller than the standard size such as the future Pegaos and Golgozilla, and has a sense of size that is halfway between the middle size. Many variations in color molding and painting have been confirmed, and the headers have been confirmed to be written as Shinkaiju series and souvenirs. Although it is a monster with a plain impression, it is a Godzilla type, so it has a strong sense of legend and taste ()
@Mr. Humphreys .. HI! I have this guy too, Different colours. I bought him bagged - this header is used for a lot of Pachi toys but curiously it does look like he is on the header (left monster). I had to release him as he was so minty and the bag was clouded. Don't know the maker but he sits well with miura monsters, similar stylings in the sculpting
Thank you @scobot !!! Sorry it's taken so long to reply, been away from toys a bit. Your green guy is beautiful. Thank you for posting a pic of the original bagged condition, and the fab header . Nice to see what these toys looked like when they were released into the wild . I wonder how many color ways there were? And Thank you @Radin for the detailed description . Do you have the original URL link? I tried clicking on your link, but I think it works using your Zenbu login link? Glad you were able to snag him. If you have a chance, I would love to see a photo of your adopted Pachi
