Well, the only one that I recognise is Colossus Rex, the Man from Jupiter, from the Outer Space Men series! Since they were supposed to be used in conjunction with Major Matt Mason, the fact that Callisto, an alien buddy of the Major, was from Jupiter and yet looked completely different gave fans some pause - solved by me by assuming they were different Jovian races, and by one other Major Matt Mason fan by assuming that Callisto was Scientist caste and Colossus Rex was Warrior caste!

Nice one Wote, you got 'em! Haunted House was my fave game as a kid. My mates called it Drop It Down the Chimney. In the US it was called Which Witch I think. The third thing is the hardest. Another clue would be - you'd see them in the back pages of monster comics with names like 'Look Mr. No Cavities!"

The third one is an IMPKO monster transfer.
