Good to see these critters shaking off the winter cobwebs and getting ready for some serious monster mayhem. A frightful ensemble, Brian. Can't decide if the top pic reminds me of the Mothman or Jersey Devil... possibly a bit of both?
So have we got 1. Rodan 2. No idea 3. Thundercats? 4. Cloverfield and 5. Stretch Monster. I saw the new stretch monster [different head] in the local toy shop last week! You can stretch those toys across 40 years and they still keep stretchin!
2 is a monster from Ultraman.3 is an Inhumanoid.5 is actually called Krusher and instead of stretching him, you can smack him down and he pops right back up again.
I see Krusher regularly in collectable stores.The tricky part is finding one that can still contract and expand.They are prone to leaks from split seams.
Its a problem we all face Bri! ha ha. I ve been reading about Krusher as its not a toy Ive ever seen in the flesh. I was 18 when it was released so I would never have owned one. This site has helped explain his krushabilities https://vintageactionfigures.com/krusher-the-gruesome-growing-reptile.html
There's definately an Ymir thing going on. He's his green double. And the box art is like the poster for Equinox the old monster movie. Just clarify how he inflates will you. Is it just slow suction or is there a pump like Vac Man?
The key is the orange belt around his waist.when you compact Krusher,you force all the air out of him.Pulling the knob on the back of his belt allows the air back in and...Presto!Krusher springs back to his normal menacing self!

ReplyDeletepneumatic! I've seen another toy like that with a similar belt. i think it was an alien in one of John Marshall's books Brian.
