someone correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've gathered they came from these cards from the 70's, and they were unlicensed kaiju that were either made up or created from pieces of other kaiju. Heater robot is there too. If anyone has more info on these please tell.

Actually those cards are new, but made in a vintage style as an homage to kaiju art from the '60s and 70's. The characters are all "patchi" kaiju, which I believe means something like "fake" kaiju. They are not based on any movies or shows or manga, I think the Heater robot is based on a fan who shows up at events dressed as a robot. |

Company name is EMUPAIYA. I know they make the Hydrogen "H" figure, the Heater robot and the Metrokabayan but not sure whether there are any other figures in their line-up? |

I always thought the "H" was a pun on the word, "Ecchi," (i.e., if you pronounce H in Japanese, it comes out to "E-Chi-") which I believe roughly translates into "perverted." Don't know where I got that idea- but I swear I saw that reading somewhere- Mandarake maybe? |
