Post vintage or repro?
could use some help- got these guys in a lot. shinigami chameleon has a lot of contact marks and rubbed paint/missing paint. a little broken antennae- the other dude seems old as well and i cant remember if they made a reproduction of him either-

anyway! these dont have the "U" marking for unifive (im assuming) on the bottom like another kamen repro mini that i have.

either way i like them- just would like some confirmation

Great stuff man. They both look original to me. The chameleon was reissued (pic below) but I think that the paint scheme is much cleaner and more metallic on the Unifive guys. I haven't seen the guy on the left before, but can't make him out so well on my shitty monitor. Looks like an extremely cool villain though.

definitely originals! sometimes there is very little silver on the chameleon man but yours has quite a lot !

An interesting note ... compare the original (on right) to the uinfive version size wise ...

I believe the 2 are both original.

The black guy has not been remade, yet...
