I found these toys in one of my fave nyc stores!!!! they are Shigeru Sugiura' s characters, he was an early manga artist from the 1930's 40's and 50's. Some of his characters are totallly surreal!!!! Does anybody else know or have more information on the name of the characters, quantity, the company who made them.
Gimme a bit of time to do some digging. His stuff is REALLY old school manga. I had no idea anyone had turned his designs into toys. In a quick Japanese google search I didn't find anything but I'll work on it a bit with my wife (she's Japanese) sometime in the next couple of days to see what we can dig up.
