The two in front are Jyako and Gappo from the Akakage series. I need that Gappo!!!
I just saw the mole go up for sale on YJA... can't recall the name or find the auction.

Yowsa, I'm going to have to find that Gappo too. Very interesting how the colors are similar to the metallics on the much larger Dream Rocket version. I have the GID Marmit Parababy version thanks to a kind board member here. It's cool but that painted version is nicer. Great character but I wish I could learn more about its origin. I had originally assumed that it was another version of Gappa, the Triphibian Monster, but it's really not the same. Anyone know more?

There was an old live-action series in Japan called Akakage. Sometimes it's referred to as Akakage: The Red Shadow, but I'm not sure if that's just the U.S. translation. From what I can gather, it's three ninjas who are fighting various large monsters. There was also an anime series at some point, and a more recent movie.
Marmit produced the first toys from that series that I know of as Parababies, both unpainted GID and painted full color. Dream Rocket has more recently been releasing standard size toys in its Akakage Kaiju line.
Quite honestly, that's all I know. If anyone else has more background on the series, I'd like to hear it.
Youtube has some intriguing video clips of the opening clips from the live-action show and anime series.

Thank you akum6n, you've given me a homework assignment. 
Your response actually answers more questions than just the one I asked. Thanks again.

Damn...the name escapes me, but he's from "Captain Ultra". I'll check a header card when I get home tonight.

The Captain Ultra kaiju is "Alien Bandel', I believe. He is pretty cool.

The name of the Green guy in the center of the back row with the pink lips is "Guesra" * spelling could be wrong.

And here's another look from the KaijuZoo Marmit Vinyl Paradise collection along with Satan Rose & Baruzas.
