Most of these "Spectreman" (to be a little less deutsche about it) toys were recently reproduced (I believe by CCP?) from vintage molds and can be had fairly easily and cheaply on Y!JP. They show up with less regularity (and higher prices) on eBay.
I won the glow version of the ThunderGay (the whale) last year and love it.

too much because I got it on eBay prior to enlightenment - around $80 or more, if I recall correctly.
You tend to be able to get it far cheaper on Y!JP . . .

But, if you collect with any regularity, I do highly recommend hooking up with Y!JP.
I'd love to say it will save you money but, well, knowledge of it has only increased my spending habits!

you need to contact celga so they can bid on some stuff for ya. is realyl easy...
just check their website and read the insturctions: www.celga.com
besides the CCP reproductions, you can find some spectreman kaijus by marmit vinyl paradise... usually set of 2 kaijus...
a recent one (kinda rare i guess, never saw this one before -- just the CCP version) was on yahoo jp a few days ago:
ended up for 9,050 yen..

Do a search for "Spectreman" here and you will find a thread that Skylar started. I believe he's trying to get together torrents or DVDs or something. The show was on American TV, somewhere, and did get a home video release.
Bill Gallagher of Marusan-USA wrote a book that covers every toy Masudaya made. The Spectreman vinyls are a small part of the book, but as far as I know they're all there. Check it out if you're interested:

Finding Specturman Kaijus by CCP reproductions is very difficult even in Japan these days.
I finaly could get this line, but it took for a long time.
Especialy difficult kaijus are;
Kurumanikurasu, Bakurah, Mitsukubiryu, Mogunechuhdon......
I have a information, if interested.
I will send you PM later! 
You can see more about Specturman Kaijus with english text......

Spectreman That German site is missing one figure that I know of.
There is a special edition Kurumanikurus that comes with a paper sash and is cast in clear vinyl.

Here's a pic of the one that's missing. 
This one was extremely limited and cast in clear vinyl. I have almost all of the Modern Toys ltd re-issues. These are not new Marmits or CCP reinterpretations. Mine may be on the move....
