Wow! Most fascinating! Do you know if they have any connection to Mexican folklore beyond the obvious "Dia de Los Muertos"? My fav is the wrestler. Still wearing his cape.. |

There's no real "obvious" connection to anything really, it's a mix of all the good stuff. The woman i bought my first set from told me these were sold outside of Wrestling events. |

Totally brain-tearing, mind blowingly different and yet familiar. You've got some great stuff there! Never could have imagined such things, do they ever show up retail this side of the border? |

whoa - as if i needed a whole 'nother set of stuff to pursue... these are beyond cool! how long did it take you to accumulate so many of them? they don't seem to be readily available at the moment, but i've only just begun my search... in any case, thanks for sharing the pics, these really are neat little toys. |

Those look pretty fragile, how do they work. Do they pop up or does that little switch do something? |
