We looked at these years ago when I did a
pencil-top round-up, but one or two more have come in including a rather fetching
white one (from Chris Smith or Peter Evans), so I thought I'd do a new shot for
the family photo-album and share it with you.
I muttered something about super-boy last
time I think, but the top figure is supposed to be Ultraman or some similar 1970's Japanese TV character, the robots
don't seem to fit Ultraman's 'Mechas'
though so may be from other series'; Manzinger
or Gundams or something. Four poses
found and five clear colours with a lilac variant of the purple and redder-oranges,
or an orangier red!
The new addition, definitely the smartest,
he's a minter! I'll thank both the above named as things have been pretty
chaotic around here and they've both sent stuff since I called a halt to blogging,
while a lot's been combined/sorted and I've shot loads of stuff, but lost track
of some origins!

Hey Hugh, let me give you the names of at least some of these.
Top row is Japanese character Masked Kamen Rider.
Second row left is Grendizer (also known as Grandizer / Goldorak (FR) or Goldrake (IT)).
Second row right is Mekanda (/Mekander) Robot.
The one on the bottom I don't know.
Mr Peeters Sir! You are a star!
One of the pages I intend to do, next year when I have more time, is a sort of ID list or disambiguation on all these Japanese mega-bots and the characters associated with them; I just spent hours looking for three giant monsters I have on Godzilla sites, only to be told they were all from Ultraman!!!!
I am a rank-amateur! Although, they are from different series? Which I suspected, so some of it's rubbing-off on me!
