 Megaloman Kaiju names
I've had these guys for many yrs and never knew what show they were from until I was recently looking thru an old book about Japanese superhero shows and low and behold there they were, right on the Megaloman page, does anyone know their names?

 Re: Megaloman Kaiju names
These are definitely underrated figures, fairly easy to come by and often cheap too, yet great toys. The first guy's name is Zubogu [ズボーグ] and the second guy is called Zaninga [ザニンガ]. Both are from Takatoku toys.

 Re: Megaloman Kaiju names
It's great, isn't it? It reminds me of a Banana Splits character....

 Re: Megaloman Kaiju names
That guy is called Goran [ゴラン], from the second episode. I am not sure how many other characters actually got made. I know I have seen the enemy Captain Dager before:  as well as this henchmen guy:  Some of the hero guys were done in a similar Popy style:  And of course Megaloman himself. As a bonus, here is a pic of a sweet three pack of the monsters with Megaloman and a bonus card.

 Re: Megaloman Kaiju names
Although it seems that the vinyls are affordable, the diecasts of Megaloman go for big bucks.

 Re: Megaloman Kaiju names
Just found and purchased two online, not the snorkel guy though... although I did get the rainbow painted dino guy. Pretty happy about that!
