    1. You should be able to track some of the MOTU minis down fairly easily, especially the non-clear ones. They're some of my favorite vending toys. :)

    1. Thanks for the link, I didn't know GeGeGe no Kitaro had its own wiki.

      The Lucky Yuckies were American vending bootlegs of GNK keshi. They came with mini bio sheets which are really trippy. You can see the one for Water Turtle and some of the others here:

    1. I only have a couple, but I think they were originally released in the 1960s as vending toys and Frito-Lay premiums. There are 8 different monsters--here's a pic of them:
