That's the M1GO Mongler. Here's the standard size Marmit version from 11(!) years ago:   And thanks for the nice comments!

 Re: shelf symbiosis
Cool to see someone else appreciating VP. I totally agree that these really capture the idea of what soft vinyl was intended to be. A toy. Big, rough, chunky and haphazardly painted. Not to jack your thread, but here's a shelf with some of my VP goodies.  These were some of my very first soft vinyl toys that I actually started "collecting". If you've got more Hyper, I'd like to see em!

 Re: shelf symbiosis
No worries, I think I jacked my own thread. And you've got many more VPs than I. The big brown Baragon is an all-time fave.

 Re: shelf symbiosis
He totally is the best baragon ever. Something about the expression on the face just says "it's awesome being me!"

 Re: shelf symbiosis
Let's not forget the waaay retro finger-puppets that came with some of the VPs. Here's Woo and Frankenstein (w/ a Bear Model Goro):  I love the teeth and cheekbones:

 Re: shelf symbiosis
Here's a VP I forgot was lurking around, deep in a shelf. Anybody know his name?  He's got 2 faces, both exactly the same:

 Re: shelf symbiosis
That guy would be the "Two-Headed Monster Daburion" from what I can find. Or just Daburion. Awesome is what he is.

This one would be the Marmit VP-083 Dublion/ Daburion (ダブリオン) double-headed monster from Japanese episode 8 of Toei's Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot ("The Challenge of the Two Headed Monster").  You can check out that specific episode for free on Hulu.com as well as the rest of the first shows from the 1969 US-released TV series. Good retro stuff !!! http://www.hulu.com/watch/7428/johnny-sokko-and-his-flying-robot-the-challenge-of-the-two-headed-monster#x-0,vepisode,1
