I think I am missing the pink one.  @Abe- These are prizes given out by Marmit at various shows. Some were blind-bagged, some not. Tons of different versions out there. I gave up on trying to keep track of this serious.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Marmit's Robot Keiji K figures are incredible. How many characters have been made? I've already got Missleman and Kaiju Mother (and I've got 2 others on preorder: Depth Charge and Diving Man) I somehow missed Criminal K... ahhh! Have I missed others?

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
There was another Black Satan lucky bag version released at the same time that was almost exactly the same paints except there were red sprays instead of gold. I shoulda picked up that version when I had a chance, haven't seen one since.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Marmit rules for their classic focus on designs and color schemes. Like the smooth lines on the gold/glow Satan - that looks even scarier with his head spun backward. I dig this company for their refusal to kowtow to the new western vinyl influences in the market and their sheer dedication to the early rotocast and airbrush methods. Newer doesn't always equal better.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Oh man, I didn't realize there were more Keji-K guys! I just preordered the gear guy from S7, but if there's more, I've gotta have them. Life has no meaning without the figure of Keji in his hat and coat.

Life has no meaning without the figure of Keji in his hat and coat. The gear guy (Haguruman) actually appears to be a new sculpt. There were a lot of toys in the Keiji-K VP Miniheroes line which came out maybe a decade ago now. They were- and still are- pretty cheap, if not always easy to find. These new ones are getting pricey for a single figure... kind of a turn-off.

I've been obsessed with Keiji K and his robot adversaries for a while and have found a lot of Marmit Keiji K. Here goes.... Here's Haguruman (Gearman) from the original show:  And the S7 pre-order:   Some others from the original show and their Marmit counterparts are...   Koshikakeman (Seatman)   Rokaaman (Lockerman)   Harisasuman (Needleman)   Jirikiman (Magnetismman)   Tenagaman   Nanatsuman (Sevenman) Part 2 tomorrow....

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
I didn't know they made a nanatsuman already. cool...
it would be sweet to own all of these, but the $65 price tag is much for these. they retail for around 2850yen so to get them at 40 would be good (less would be better).
C, you should just hit them up with a link. (I'm too lazy).

The Blobpus style suction cups and the vertical chompers on that guy are fun. How big is he Jay?
