As far as I know. I only found out that these were Banpresto because the lot I won included the paper insert with copyright info. I would have just assumed they were another series from Bandai. Hardly ever see these come up for auction anywhere.

Why this is not in the correct section... And absolutely fantastic work cracker!!

I actually have an Android 16 Banpresto Keshi which I had no idea of it's origin until I ive seen this,

Here is a line up with some other Keshi and similar Vintage Japanese Minifigures:

I also have those six Keshi which I'm assuming are from the same series?

Since you mentionded the vending machine, This proudct is a Keshi Capsule Station, Made by Bandai in 1992.

I forgot to ever move it. It's in the right place now.

M5, is that what the "Ramen" model kits were named? Easy Members? Here's my Yamcha model kit. The Ramen kits were two pieces of hard plastic snapped together. Ignore that I have primer sprayed on it:

The translation that i'm getting is something along the lines of Dragon Ball Easy Men, or Easy Members.

I only opened my Yamcha with Panzerfaust so far, something in me kinda dies when I open something that was sealed from 1986...

Oh man, it kills me that you have two that I don't. I've never even seen the Bulma out of the package. I have these (or have had... as the Goku and Krillin were both painted as commission projects, one for kkchung the other for gqkrillin):

I believe this Goku came in the red colored package. KKchung didn't send me the package or the dinosaur.

I attached pics of several other opened ones. Open that Bulma!!! :willy:

カンタンメン pulls up some cool results in google. Maybe you don't need to open Bulma after all!

^^Pics of all of them. I wonder why the numbers in the bottom left corner don't go in order?

:willy:

This is incredible... omg

Unrelated... I've never seen this Goku in my life... O_o

This I've seen once or twice.

Those big pics I found on this site, which I have never seen before, and will definitely be looking at again!!

I would love to know more about the Bandai PVC figures. I think that I have the full set with the exception of Yamcha and the Great Ape (which sucks since those are the best imo).

They were sold in the late 80's and were distributed in France as well supposedly. The sculpts, or at least some of, are based on the Kinkeshi Dorakeshi series and the early 1986 Bandai series.

The 2004 figures are extremely rare and hard to find. I got Upa for 8.50$ mib, I can't find his box now... somehow I managed to get Pilaf and Oolong in a 4$ lot with 2 other figures...
I decided to use the Banpresto Oolong and the Bandai Pvc Oolong over the Chara Strap.

Full set,

Bandai Die-cast are metal figuers that were sold by Bandai in vending machines in the early-mid 90's. Similar figures can be found in some of the volumes in the Kinkeshi Dorakeshi series.

Please someone tell me what the Krillin and Chiaotzu are I have no clue...
