Hi everyone, I found this Plastic Thai Hanuman toy in a toy shop in the outskirts of Bangkok and I immediately got it I have seen these kinds of plastic toys before in this format but I don't remember any information about them. There is no marking on him. The shop owner told me it is very old.
Anyone have any information on these types of toys? |

Possible cash-in toy from several late 70s kaiju movies featuring Hanuman? The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. the Monster Army or Hanuman and the Five Riders?

Thank you for your response!! Sorry but what is a cash-in toy? I was also thinking if it could also be from the Ultraman series of figures. I do have one from Apex Toys.

By cash in I mean it is cashing in on the success of those films (possibly). It doesn't really look like how he was portrayed in either of the films I mentioned, though I wouldn't be surprised if there were more films I'm just not aware of. Considering he's a mythological character, it would be hard for me to straight up call him a bootleg or whatnot simply because of his presence in Thai culture. This is all just a guess, though. While I don't believe the films I mentioned are really well-known, I imagine they did pretty well in Thailand at the time. |

Well that other one you have looks pretty accurate to how he was seen in the 6 Ultra Brothers film and looks to be in the style of Bullmark figures with several points of articulation, looks like shoulders and waist. For all I know, it could be Bullmark. I believe the 6 Ultra Brothers film is considered an official Ultraman movie.

That's possible. I imagine it is hard to copyright the specific likeness of a cultural character such as Hanuman, and also in Asian countries in general, copyright law seems to be freely skirted with no repercussions. But it is quite possible it's a licensed product. Information on SE Asian toys or Asian toys in general isn't particularly well documented.
