Post Weird Spanish Kaiju
I found this ultra-kaiju-looking guy at a local thrift store here in Montreal. It's solid PVC, nearly 7" tall, no articulation and his left foot says "JHL Made in Spain" - anyone ever see this before?

Helpfully, "Gili", its previous owner, wrote his (her?) name on the back, and I left it there. Now that I have a light tent, I'll be posting some of my collection, starting with the really obscure stuff.

As a bonus, here's aggressive soft drink pitchman Punchy as an early-90s keychain toy.

And a totally inexplicable Japanese octopus
