Anyone know what these are? Some of these designs look awful familiar, like classic kaiju. I think there might be an old thread on these, but I would not even know what to search for. What is confusing to me is that these are marked 1958! That date does not seem to jive. Its funny to note that the "A" in USA on some of these is upside down.

Ahh, yes. Thanks. I knew they were a newer issue, though I forgot exactly what. But its interesting to note that these are actually based off of a vintage toy line that predate most kaiju, although the design is very similar.
