Is that all the releases so far?

Nezumi-otoko is an imposter.
Hopefully youkai really exist and Mizuki is enjoying himself with them!

I don't think any other figures capture the spirit of Mizuki's characters quite as well as Sunguts!
Yeah, it's the Pilot Ace one. It was pretty cheap. I regret not picking up this one now:

Those ones you mention all seem hard to find for a reasonable price now, except maybe Maboroshi-chan isn't so expensive.

That's sure, they made the best Kitaro characters, there are Bandai vintage really cool and Maxtoy have some great characters too, but I'm not fan about the Maxtoy shiny paint, I prefer the Sunguts matte paint and its fabulous texture.

Yeah, the old Bandai ones are great, but they're based on the anime characters (like most merchandise) so the look is kind of different. Sunguts' figures all have that perfect "dopey" look just like the manga characters do, and like you say, the subdued colours/texture are great. Plus he does so many characters other than Kitaro - lots of minor ones, and lots from Kappa no Sanpei
Not a fan of the Maxtoys ones in general - I quite like Linden's, but I'm more interested in the humanoid characters (and I don't have room to display big figures...) There's some nice non-vinyl figures around, too.
Congrats on getting that nezumi-otoko! If I ever happen across another of Maboroshi-chan I'll let you know.
