 Fireman...
I recently picked up this clear Fireman with kick ass paper inserts and tinsel in the head. This thing is so busy, I love it! I think I remember seeing a kikaida that was very similar to this. does anyone know if there were a bunch of different characters made like in this style, like a set or something?

Nice pickup. I like the silver gloves and boots.
I have a Barom 1 and a Ninja Arashi.

There were also DX boxed versions of these same figures that came on plastic rock bases of Arashi, barom-1 and Kamen Rider V3. This style of toy has been emulated by Gargamel with their clear vinyl paper insert figures.

super 7 did an article on clear figures but i dont remember which issue . think i have most of them and i will look for a pic . the mazinger is the hard one to find find but the rest would be like $30 to $50 . the ones standing on the rock can get kinda pricey . akumizer has a couple of those i believe .

They didn't...they did the Smoking Corps and the Gargamess in clear, and you can dl the .gif inserts from their site.
