    Maybe not Kaiju, but just as weird as any.

    He's obviously made of old Vinyl, smells like vintage Marusan or Bullmark.

    I got him at a garage sale for 5 cents, he was in a sandwich baggie with an Urkle figure that i tossed.

    But his proportions are really bizzare and alien, and has very strange shapes sculpted into his torso.A navel, two circles on the far sides his chest, and a rectangular one on his back. it looks like his eyes were painted red at one time.

    i sort of though maybe he was some sort of Telletubbies bootleg, but the proportions and the age of him totally rule that out.

    I even took him to Japan with me, nobody could identify him.

    Maybe European or Russian? He's not celluloid, totally old school vinyl.

    I just don't see his design as appealing to any child, and i've seen some pretty messed up dolls in my time.

    This dude is completely alien.

    Maybe if I find out, it will ruin his spooky appeal?

    Its weird that the face looks like it was meant to be a mask ?

    The way I see it , it looks like it should have had added on clothes. Like maybe a costume with the face to look like a mask.

    That would explain the body shape and head to me.

    that's pretty cool you can identify vinyl by smell. isn't it?
