I got the other Red Shadow figures with my recent Celga box. They come in 2 bags/figures per header card.
I've taken pictures of the figure sets with the header card.
Not sure how good the pics came out, so I'll also give a description of the figures.
Thank you so much for offering to figure out their names for me!!!!!

Red Shadow set 1
Centipede & Beetle

Creevox,

If I am not mistaken the third set is the monsters from the Magic Serpent. A really cheesy midevel feudal Japanese sorcery/magic flick. I have a DVD version of it that was dubbed in the US and the Dragon (the Bad Monster) has a Godzilla Roar and the Giant Toad (the good monster) sounds like Rodan.

It is a double disc with Gamera and the Return of the Giant Monsters. Released by Retromedia. Nexflix it - goofy!

Dr,
Thanks! I think you are right. I just did a search on that movie and the characters look right. The only difference is the Toad toy doesn't have a horn like the movie toad, but the dragons are exact.
The website said that two character turned into the toad and dragon. The toad's human character is IKAZUKI and the dragons human character is ORUKIMARU. I don't know if that's the monsters names as well but it's info just the same.

in the pic with the owl and the cat demon guy, the one on the right, the cat demon is Jyako, or at least that's how I've seen it translated. I searched and found a picture of him on a completed ebay auction:

the owl guy I believe is Gappo


I'm not 100% sure of this information, I'm just going on a little research I did. Akakage is a hard show to find stuff out about.

Yes, good call on Skylar's part. Dream Rocket also made some larger versions of these figures in various colors.

The owl is indeed Gappo. As far as the only ones that nobody has taken a stab at yet, here is my attempt:

Set #3---"Ohgama" and "Kairyu" The former meaning "giant toad," and the latter, "mysterious dragon." You might note that the "kai" of the second name is the same kanji character as that found in the word "kaiju." (mysterious monsters)

I prefer writing the first word without the "h" after the letter "O," but rather with a line across the top of the "O" as I think that it is a better transliterative scheme, but alas I can't figure out how to do that on my computer, so I will use this less conventional (but more confusing) way of denoting the drawn out "o" sound...

I agree. I am liking it much more than the Dream Rocket version of Jakoh.
