I have done a fair chunk of homework and I have to admit I am stumped on the identity of these guys. Any help would be appreciated. All are small vinyls 1. Blue vinyl base approx. 2.25" tall .jpg) 2. Orange vinyl base, also approx. 2.25" tall  3. I assume green vinyl, has a 'shell' on the back with swirly paint pattern, approx. 2.75" tall  4. Brick red vinyl, approx. 2" long  5. Tan vinyl, approx. 2" tall, image is NSFW? 6. Does this Longneck go by any other name than Ikapotsu Kun?

^^ dunno, but i love the green one . . . if it has a shell its probably some form of kappa. The worm thing below it is cool too! |

Kappa was first go to, perhaps some sort of Yokai, I am leaning towards that on both 3 & 5. The worm like vinyl I think is some sort of omake. 2 cannot be too hard, but with the mini style having a hard time with it. None are really old, just like searching for a needle in a haystack! |

It's very slow at work today... The worm guy is ミミズン Mimizun by Siccaluna Koubo The weird light green cat guy is ネコカツパ Nekokatsupa by Billiken Shokai The orange lizard guy is ドラギラス Doragirasu by Marusan The blue guy is ガイゴン Gaigon by マウント工房 (Help? Mount something) The boob girl is ハーピー Harpy by Sunguts And of course, the best of the lot is イカポツクン Ikapotsukun (Ikapokkun) by Longneck / Cosmo Knight α |

Mount Koubou sometimes provides paint work for other companies like Max Toy, Kaijin and TakePico. They did a really fantastic set of Max Toy minis a few years ago. Gaigon is one of the few original figures that they have produced, although that one was done through Fewture for the Sofvi Monsters set. Another is Zuigon, from the Gachamon set. They have also released about 2-3 finger puppet-style figures, most of which were sold only at Patchi-Summits. |

Thanks for adding a few more cents, D! I was hoping you'd see this. I remember when those two sets came out and wishing that I could cherry pick, there's several I'd love to find (TE Zagora, the Mothman, etc., etc.). I totally forgot about those Mount Koubou pachi kaiju from years ago, great looking toys -- Wish I could track a set of those down too. Did you ever find any? |

This is so great! I know it does not pertain to what I have, but would love to know the second chart as well Oli. Especially the middle row, left side. Thank you kind sir. |

The translations for both sets are already on the Flickr pages. You just have to mouse over the label in the picture. Although maybe not everyone can see it? https://www.flickr.com/photos/ilanena/2 ... otostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/ilanena/2 ... otostream/

Sure thing. Caught up with work here so... Top row: 1-Dream Rocket / Wakusei Digura no Kaiseibutsu (wakusei = planet, kaiseibutsu = hmmm, monster? So Monster of Planet Digura?) 2-Kamura (Kamler?) 3-Marmit / Kanjirasu 4-Bangashiusu 5-Creative Design Hazawa-gumi / (thesecond kanji is too blurry to read) Kaiju Gaiakurou Middle row: 1-Kaiju-ken / Hakogame Kaiju Bekkame 2- 3-Gargamel / Zagoran 4-Uchuu kaijin Inbera Jr. (uchuu = space so Space Creature Inbera Jr.) 5-Dokkunroll Baby (dokuro = skull, pun with Rock'n'roll baby, "skull'n'roll baby") Bottom row: 1-Akai Kutsu Club / Moth Baby 2-Pilot Ace / Chinbura 3-Garbage 4-Wombat Toys / Daigorasu 5-Skull Head Butt / Majerisu (I've always wondered if Skull Head Butt actually meant to say Skull Head Bat. I've seen that mistake so many times...) (note: the writing is a bit blurry, so some "b"s might actually be "p"s and vice versa) |

I have this set from the 2008 Fall Patchi-Summit:  L to R: Buigon (Gaigon was renamed, for some reason), Zuigon and Daigon. I've seen one other set on YJA, and then on Mandarake, years later, for like 1,000 yen. Missed it both times. |
