    Those cards are so sweet, I'd love to get my hands on some (even remakes). I somehow have managed to form an unintentional mini-collection of Menko cards, from live action shows such as Barom-1, Lionmaru, Ultraman, Spectreman. Just a few sample pics:

    These are great, Steve. Haha...for some reason, I'm totally digging the Magma-taishi trying to shove Goa at the top right! I can just picture Goa taunting him, "Nyaah!!"

    here's another great site for those who haven't seen it, that shows some of the original artwork for these patchi cards. I especially love the postcards of kaiju invading various global cities:

    PS - Incidentally, I don't know the name of the requested kaiju offhand, but he may be the one seen in battle over Mt. Rushmore, in which case the Japanese is there

    So, I know this a dollar short on a way-past defunct thread, but I've just recently rescanned and uploaded an image set:

    better late than never, thanks for the scanning/uploading of these!
    I love the mix of pachi monsters, and then also throwing in ninja arashi / barom 1 / lion maru / kamen rider / ultraman ace in there as well.

    I had a lot of these cards when I was a kid, and I have no memory of where I got them exactly. Many of these cards (as well as some excellent lenticular cards I had) showed images of Bullet Trains being attacked by kaiju. This actually lead me to wonder why ANYBODY would ever want to ride on the futuristic trains since they were constantly attacked by monsters and obvious death traps haha
