got this dude from two Pachisummits ago..



i know there are some vintage model kits but was it from anything?

i really dig it so any help or answers = thanks!

Do you have a bigger picture of the one that's on the left?? What's his name.

its a hideshi hino character called Zowroku

post pictures of the feet and i can translate the name and such.

feets..

The feets say "Globe Stars" for those who may not know.
It's Katakana, so it's Japanified English.

The name I found for him is: Baruden Seijin (バルデン星人)

Literally translated it is: Person from the Planet of Baruden, so personally I'd call him baruden

Edit:
I guess my english translation was wrong, but I found a yahoo J! auction with this same dude and it was titled: 限定怪獣ソフビモンスターズ:グロブスターズ:バルデン星人

Did I get the name of the dude wrong too?

Marmit Globsters. This guy was from the Art Storm Sofubi Monsters set A.

thanks for replies. i see the vintage models are
called the Baruden Seijin as well but is it tied to
a show or manga or just an original character?

I think these models were original patchi-kaiju, hence the popularity in reproducing them in vinyl form. Marmit and its relatives, Target Earth, Skull Head Butt and Globsters, seem to have a special fondness for these kits.

After a little research, it looks like Baruden Seijin is actually a repackaging by Ikkou Mokei of the Hedoro plamodel from Arii:



compare with



As a sidenote, the Maguran Seijin character is also apparently a plamodel original, again a repackaged Arii model released (?) by Ikkou Mokei:





I always thought that the Maguran looked like the Sumoka kit, but this seems to explain it.

I think Marmit also expressed interest in producing these old kits a while back on the Marmit Plus blog. Let me see if I can dig up the post.

Anyway, I feel like I've seen these images bouncing around the boards before, so probably nothing new. Thought I would post since I didn't realize the full connection between the Arii models and the Globsters toys. Also, search function borken still.

WOW thanks! I have been looking around
for the second kit pictured and always have
wondered about this characters origins.

2 board friends helped me get that mini
and others from that set from the summit
& i like it a bunch for no particular reason.

its sort of "grimace-like" and has a lot of
charm. thanks for going into detail with
the response, that was very cool of you.

would love to see marmit or any company
do a standard size vinyl figure of it. maybe
that will happen, i sure hope so.
