Gatchapin!

Originally uploaded by lhuga.

Gatchapin is a parody of Gatchaman (very popular Japanese anime in early 70’s. and it has US name, Battle of the Planets).

Well, actually his name is Gachapin, not Gatchapin, and Wiki saids, ” Gatchapin is dinosaur kid and 5 years old forever “
And he has a yeti mate, Mukku(who named Doctor Mukku on Gatchapin Web )

Anyway, today I found there were many many gatchapin in a UFO catcher.
I believe he came to save the earth!
The problem is…he does not look strong at all… :p

Can you identify the action figures in this photo? My friend M.J.L. Kellogg would like to know their names. Seeing as she’s a proud resident of a place where I lived for several years and still love — South Austin, Texas — I very much hope a knowledgeable expert will come to her rescue. So if you can help solve the action-figure mystery, head over to Metroblogging Austin and post a comment with the names of the enigmatic action figures pictured here. Your reward: gratitude from her and from me, and a couple scoops of good karma straight from South Austin. And karma from South Austin is hard to come by in Tokyo, so go get some while you got the chance.
