I'd have to look at the name again, but I think they had "Emupai" as part of it.

Frank, your taste in toys and the fact that you have lots of cool color variants and 3 Bemons makes YOU toy satan.

Even if you don't know the name of something like that, you can often net a bunch of things by searching under the event where they were released. This one, (like many other good ones) was affiliated with a smaller, yet up-and-coming event called "Patchworked Monster Summit." If you use the Japanese term for this you will find a variety of great toys. The only problem is that there are many ways of writing it out and abbreviating it in Japanese, so it is hard to cover the spread unless you use like 5 or 6 variants of the search term.
Start with this: パチ怪獣 (literally, Pachi Kaiju)
Here's a set of those figs if anybody is in the need:

Thanks hyper. I'm thinking of getting a Celga account in the new year so I can try and grab some figs.
How easy is it to search by using american/english terms?
I can get secret base figs to come up, but I don't know if i'm missing out on some listings.

Holy Sh*t! That's an incredible one that I have never seen before.
Personally, I think that only using English search terms limits you quite a bit in general. Obviously, you can find a lot of SB using English, but if you compare to results from a Japanese search, you will see that some stuff can only be found that way, as is the case with many other items. Usually the English works on stuff where the seller is actively marketing to US collectors and is aware of the demand abroad, or in cases where the name of the toy is incidentally English based...

Those have been out for awhile. I have had mine for a couple of years now. Made by M-1 and Club Daikaiju in NJ. There is also a Reptilicus in the series and I beleive the Gorgo S7 had awhile ago is also part of that but I could be wrong about that Can't find my header card right now). Great series of crappy movie monster Vinyls! The Rat Bat Spider matches the Tat on my upper arm!
