Gargamel Header card figure question
ok this question is for Baikin or Cometdebris or anyone who knows the guys at Gargamel. There is this figure on the back of some of their header cards that I love but don't know what it is and even if I knew what it was it would probably be out of my price range. What is it and is Gargamel going to remake this toy???????? It is the one on the right on this picture with his arms raised up.
this is a picture from the Bemon article in Super 7 issue 12.

I would love to know as well. I hope the maker of Bemon makes a version. A Gargamel version would be cool. It would be cool if both companies made a version.
The original IKB toys are so damn cool!

I thought this was discussed in the article next to that picture?
Or maybe I'm crazy and bryan said something about it on the boards..
I just remember it was a vintage figure that inspired bemon to be made.

well the article said that IKB made a Mosugon 1 figure which was that one and they also made a Mosugon 2 figure that the header and figure where never found and that is what the Bemon is. I am confused I think. I would like to know what Mosugon is??????

I thought he was called 'Smoggon'!?
Anyway, they were created as sister-characters - possibly as enemies for - the Hedoran characters by IKB.
Someone I know, a hardcore Japanese collector, has an original.
The header card shows Mosugon/Smoggon (whatever) & Bemon on one side and the Hedoran Bros. on the other.
He told me no-one he knows has ever seen an original Bemon.
The guy making Bemon now only had the header card to go on when he designed his Kougai Kaiju!
Fascinating & arcane. Also possibly bullshit. (I dream stuff like this sometimes and wake up believing it's true. I spent a week looking for a purple Gargamel Hedoran once. It doesn't exist of course.) Anyway, I'm sure someone better informed than me will come along shortly...
