All three of those are great; I've gotten a few minis along these lines, but these outshine 'em! Good eyes!

That's Beralgon, yes? I've never seen a vintage one, only the Hukkokudo remake. That's really cool.

Technically the original sculpts weren't named- just Space Kaiju 1, 2, 3. Some collectors have affectionately termed this one the "Shiwa Kaiju," or, "Wrinkle Monster." But yeah, this is the inspiration for Gargamel's Beralgon mini.

The balloon blower in the second photo looks a little like one of the Marusan originals. Premium stuff.

Thanks for the info acum6n. Hukkokudo's website refers to them by numbers and I couldn't figure out why. Now, I know. I kinda like 'Wrinkle Monster' as the name.

Got this lot recently. It had some SpectreMan finger dolls I needed and these were just gravy. Some are plastic (2 on top right), some are blown polyvinyl (rest of top row and second row) and the rest are styrene plastic like jumbos. None are marked. All are funky. Any guesses about the guy on the far right, second row?
