I Was thinking about this today, which ones do my eyes go to all the time. I love my Matango collection & many other parts of my collection, but If I had to pick only 5 (Which was VERY Hard) Which five continually give the me the joy of why I collect these, these would be my five. After struggling, and letting down my good friends Transforming Man & Kemlar, these were the ones for me, in no particular order. 1 - Bullmark mid size Mephilas - Best sculpt of the character I have ever seen , great simple color & heavy nostalgia for that episode. 2 - Guiron, perfect facial expression & movement that speak everything that Kaiju is about 3 - M1Go mini Hedorah. Pink with green face & yellow hands. Weird colors conspire to produce magic. 4. Mescalgon - Surreal perfection in a reserved and almost classy delivery 5. Buta Woo - I have never seen a more charming & simple face paint & sculpt combined with perfect colors of banana yellow & white body. Don't eat the yellow snow. What are yours?
Great idea, and super difficult. I'm still waiting on some figures that I could put in this list, but this is what I have as of now. Wormrah - I would've put my Chou Cho too, but wanted some variety. Wormrah is cute and evil, and the sculpt has a great childlike lumpiness to it that I love. Plus this version has little GID eyes that I can see from my bed every night. Rainbow beast - Probably wouldn't have ever had this figure if it weren't for the rainbow fade. It's just amazing. As for the sculpt I love the probe fingers, and the fur texture. It just feels good to hold this one. Kusogon- I've said it before, but I always think of it as a melty crayon monster. (and that's awesome!) Rose Vampire- When I saw the pictures of the first version of this I made sure that I wasn't working the day of the release. Haven't wanted any of the variants since. Pocket Killer- Now that I think about it, I might like the pocket globby better. But a whale with feet makes me think of prehistoric stuff, and that just makes me feel good.
Right now, I know my #1 is the Greasebat. Hard to pick just 5... but I love sleeping killers, pocket Globbys, rose vampires, and Neth Creatures.

Just came back from a mini vacation in Houston & am catching up on everyone's responses. Thanks for the posts! I forgot to mention in my fist post who made the guiron Guiron, thanks for clearing that up.
Here's my five, and they have all consistently been my favorites since I got them: (All but one picture swiped from flickr users black/white horror skullwing Sofubi Life Jet Jaguar 1st Run Mongolion (Although once I get the clear red release it might take its place) Blue DBM skull (-)brain This Rangeas I painted, I would have listed a normal release Rangeas, but I don't own one! phil
My top 5 in random order, standard Zagoran, Ooze Bat, Big Pollard, Pocket Helper, Skull Captain. I chose to do my top 5 sculpts rather than actual pieces(which is why 4 of 5 are unpainted). I really like looking at, and handling, these 5 toys. If I had to pick specific toys thye'd probably be the same sculpts shown here, but it would be a much tougher decision in picking just 1 of each. Honorable mentions go to Gacha Mecha, Greasebat, Pocket Smogun, and Pocket Killer.
