Not sure what those are from, but I'm 99% sure they aren't vinyl. It'd be almost impossible to cast that shape in vinyl with rotational molding since there seems to be no hollow space in the middle. Looks like they are made of ABS or PVC with two part molds. Cool little ships! |

You're right Velocitron. I'm generalizing the term "vinyl" too much  Wonder who makes them? Every decent kaiju should be biting or grabbing one. |

You have to post the whole entry, there are some gorgeous pics there that show off how cool these are: http://blog.goo.ne.jp/gunchenger/e/e26c ... 994638e744 Love the combining action. Translation seems to suggest that they're little toys that came in packages of Choco Ball. |

Love how some of them looks just like the Zeon tanks from Gundam with the little jet/gun turrets on top! The totem-pole guys and UFOs are sweet, too! |

According to the blog, these were sold by Meiji, a food and confections manufacturer. |
