Basically I'm looking for: (1)Character/Toy Name (2)Manufacturer (3)What show/movie/etc. it's from, if any. I would also like the name of this creature:
The blue and red one on the left is a Popsoda mini (also called a 'finger puppet') Its an original character by Mori Katsura (RxH) for Popsoda in Osaka. The creature is 'Alien Monster Balden'. Mine is by Marmit. Not sure who made yours. I dont think its from a movie but i dont really know. Its also referred to as 'Baruden Star People' or 'Alien Baruden'. Marmit smaller version part of a set on Medicom: http://www.medicomtoy.co.jp/prod/dt/16/84/9320.html My full size version: Alien Monster Balden by The Moog, on Flickr
purple/white marble is 10B Factory’s "Moguring" they make other deep sea divers too, Mogurelu and Moguming
Yeah, as EVOM said, these guys are original characters by ButaNoHana: Kuma; Pon; Tako They are from this series: but the trio you have were sold as a set.
Not to get too nitpicky about things either, but it might also help to mention why you are searching for all of this information. i.e. you have presented a shelf full of toys and asking for help here - which is totally fine, and we always love to offer what little knowledge we can (as you have already seen) - but as people come and go to the forum for different reasons, and we have all seen our share of odd situations, some explanation might be of a little help.
Baruden Seijin is based on a rare plastic sci-fi model kit from early 70's that small one in the 1st post was made for the Sofvi Monsters multi figure set and AFAIK was made by Marmit. outside of the vintage kit Marmit seems to be the only other company to have made any likeness of the character....... is seems to be a crash on Mr. Potato Head and is in my top 10 favorite 1970's characters. i saw an old pachi card that has it pictured along with other weird creatures and there were 2 versions of the vintage model kit there is also a chase version of the SM one on clear vinyl plus Jun Masaru did artwork of this character and did a clay moulding of it as well but has not yet released a sofvi doll of his take on it. there are 2 other style alien
The blue guy is made by Popsoda. I dont know if it has an actual name though, I see it usually just listed as a finger puppet.
Thanks all. The only one I still don't know about is this guy: I bought him from Lulubell in a sale 2 years ago.
Nah. It's probably easier to be remain anonymous and post on an anonymous message board and hope someone has information on a random toy.
It usually has another piece and a joint at the nose, which lets it stand up. Also I investigated, Sunguts called him Oto Puterikusu, he's from the original kaiju line.
^^ Yeah, the name is correct. It is Sakadachi Kaiju [Headstand Kaiju] Otoputerikusu. This page is hard to find, but it has a listing of the Sunguts original characters (names in Japanese): http://www.sunguts.com/sunguts-kaiju-t.html
