J is for Japanese TV Characters

As with the previous post I've lost the full note (or source) for these, but they are pretty self-explanatory and it's a short post of half a set, most of whom are damaged, so it's really just a bit of a box-ticker! We'll return to them if the rest ever turn-up!

Atom Boy; Atomic Boy; Division Sales; Japanese Toy; Justen Products; Manga Characters; Marks International; MMPR; Power Rangers; PVC Figurines; PVC Vinyl Figures; Rubber Figurines; Sci Fi Figurines; Sci Fi Toys; Science Fiction Figures; Science Fiction Toys; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Space Warriors; Space Woman; Spaceman; Spacemen; Vulcanised Rubber Toys;
Branded to Justen Products (of Itasca, Illinois (?)) they were further credited to a Division Sales and/or/of/for Marks International, they seem to be called 'Iron Troops' and there should be six poses in the set.

Both the standing ones have lost weapons from their hands, I don't know if that is due to play, age, or something more deliberate.

They look to be Japanese TV serial characters along the lines of Ultraman, Atomic Boy, Zone Fighter, VR (?) or those early Superheroes who fight some of the Godzilla monsters - I don't know enough about the Japanese end-of-things! It's not clear either (in part due to the faces being similar to other characters) whether they are robots or androids or something.

Manufactured in a dense black PVC or vulcanised-rubber, with good moulding/detail and an overall, overspray with a flat or silk aluminium colour, the kneeling one is wearing a different outfit to the other two (who both look a bit female?) and it may be that the full set is three each of two 'sides'?
