M1GO Peter was painted by KaijuZoo, and it's pretty amazing:

That's the M1GO Mongler. Here's the standard size Marmit version from 11(!) years ago:

And thanks for the nice comments!

Mongler! that's a great toy.
Never had the pleasure of seeing those before.

I have a feeling the surface of the Marmit would be perfect for your brush technique...

Vinyl Paradise Mongler. One of my favorite toy lines, and this ver. of Mongler is awesome.

The chunky funk of the VPs may turn some people off, but they really (intentionally?) captured the clunky toy feel of early sofubi.

Here's Peter's half brother Gesura:

Cool to see someone else appreciating VP. I totally agree that these really capture the idea of what soft vinyl was intended to be. A toy. Big, rough, chunky and haphazardly painted. Not to jack your thread, but here's a shelf with some of my VP goodies.

Image

These were some of my very first soft vinyl toys that I actually started "collecting". If you've got more Hyper, I'd like to see em!

No worries, I think I jacked my own thread.

And you've got many more VPs than I.

The big brown Baragon is an all-time fave.

He totally is the best baragon ever. Something about the expression on the face just says "it's awesome being me!"

Let's not forget the waaay retro finger-puppets that came with some of the VPs.

Here's Woo and Frankenstein (w/ a Bear Model Goro):

I love the teeth and cheekbones:

Here's a VP I forgot was lurking around, deep in a shelf.
Anybody know his name?

He's got 2 faces, both exactly the same:

That guy would be the "Two-Headed Monster Daburion" from what I can find. Or just Daburion. Awesome is what he is.

Ok I think this picture has piqued my interests in some new (for me) Kaiju- the larger is an M1GO Peter, but what are the two little guys? I think I need to get one or two of them if I can. =)

I love all the Vinyl Paradise figures!! This one would be the Marmit VP-083 Dublion/ Daburion (ダブリオン) double-headed monster from Japanese episode 8 of Toei's Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot ("The Challenge of the Two Headed Monster").
Image

You can check out that specific episode for free on Hulu.com as well as the rest of the first shows from the 1969 US-released TV series. Good retro stuff !!!
