Despite our best efforts, we sometimes separate the headers from their toys. Then later when we come across the header again, we can't remember which toy the header belongs to - it becomes... an Orphan Header (the violins play a plaintive tune).

Ma Hainey provides a safe and comfortable place for the OHs to live, forever if necessary, but she knows that the sooner they are reunited with their toys, the happier they will be.

If you have an OH and would like help reuniting it with its toy, post a legible photo of it here and perhaps some kind soul will be able to assist.

(This thread could become a central repository for such requests.)

Hey, I have an Orphan Header. Can someone help me match it with the toy it goes with? Maybe someone is able to read the name of the figure and the toymaker? That would be awesome!

Here it is:

Nakayoshi Red Jack.

Thank you, kind sir. That has been driving me CRAZY!

The word up top is too messy to read.
I make out UOW38?
But that makes no sense to me.
Please help My Heinie!

Ahh I've seen this it says..
"ZUDON AND MOTHER WISHES THEY WERE THIS"

hope that helped

You are reading it backwards. It says "Bewou"...

Here are a couple more orphans.

First, one is an M1 header, but not sure of the figure. Can anyone tell me what all of the other writing on the header says, besides the name of the figure? I have always been curious about this.





Second, I think this is Gebora by Target Earth, but would like to confirm. What does the second blue phrase say? Thanks!

Target Earth

Please tell Ma that Id be happy to adopt both the header and Red Jack

Curses! Foiled Again!

With regard to the M1 header above, I looked on Omni-Monster and found that "ヘドラ" means Hedora... so now I just need to figure out which one. I have a feeling it might be the clear one that I sent to Paul Kaiju to customize... Can anybody confirm? Not sure if the 2006 date works with that guess. I miss having the old Kaiju Taro website to search on. I think they kind of shot themselves in the foot with their improved website.

Thanks!

Wait, doesn't that say jouwe?
So, I believe it's from the humping crocs set...

I love this thread.

Of course it's the famous "Koweb" monster.

You guys are dorks. You have to turn it on it's side, it's "Fee-Woo" by Noweb. The maker's name is on the left in plain English.


And to the rest of this thread:

I really like the idea of this thread - it would be incredible to have a header database organized by company. Too bad I'm such a computer illiterate.

Agreed! Not sure exactly how this would be accomplished, but it would be a very handy reference to have. Plus the art is cool.

I suppose folks could photograph or scan their headers and submit them to a central source (simplest might be a dedicated thread but without pussy pictures). That still would require someone who can read what they say. Again, I have always wondered what a lot of the other information printed on a header says, as mundane as it may in fact be.

Id guess the easiest way to do a header database would be a wordpress blog and mark every post with tags. Its an actual data base and ppl could upload as neccessary. Just wouldnt be on here.

You could try to cross-reference with 2006 M1gou releases off of Clubtokyo.org to try and narrow it down.

Based on the photo from ClubTokyo, it looks like I have a match! Can't see the whole thing, but enough to confirm. Thanks for the suggestion.
