    :lol: Sorry. I was to fixated on Baltan to notice Ragon :oops: She IS a beau. Any of our resident Ultraman scholars know about this Ragon Baltan scene?

    I am not sure, but maybe this was a scene from or a least a reference to the Ultra Zone variety show? I suspect the package would make it more clear on the back, if there were more photos. I couldn't find a pic of the scene they were together in, but it featured classic monsters from several of the Ultra series thrown into everyday situations - think of it as a monster Monty Python done in the typical Japanese humor show style. :) Ragon was at least a prominent character, not sure about Baltan though.

    Ragon and Baltan


    And plenty more classic fellas. This show just seems like so much fun! :mrgreen: I would just love to give some of these scenes a watch. Sorry for the overshare, but I love this stuff.

    I know, even with as much as I shared, I had to limit some that were just as good. I just love the whole story that immediately can pop into your head just from a quick glance at one of these. I could definitely see a kids book or card series with delightful captions made up from just this art alone.

    I still am not sure there is any connection with the US Toys set, but for lack of any episodic evidence I can think of, this was just what came to mind.

    I think my favorite one is the yellow Booska in the center of the top row. He's squishy and has a squeaky tummy. That Garamon is an amazing sculpt. It's like a pine cone with arms and legs.

    I recently bought a lot with a few US Toys in it. It came with a stand like the 1 seen in the pic below. The stand is almost a lime green vinyl with brown and darker green sprays. Does anyone know what toy is supposed to go with it? I've seen this blue stand and an orange 1, but never the green.

    I wasn't sure if it came with Jirass as I had also seen this picture below. There was no Jirass in the lot I bought. That said, the lot I bought has a lot of random stuff thrown together and it might have just been tossed in. I haven't seen the stand in this green color in any of my searches. Thanks for the info.

    There is a ragon version as well, sorry. Forgot to mention. It's weird though because the Ragon version is the bill box size ragon.

    Nice shot Kurumonz! I've got that set...I've been so enamored with the display packaging I've left it unopened. Ilu Ilu and U.S. toys have the best packaging designs IMO.
