Japanese Eraser sized toys how and where to find....
 

Hey guys,

Forgive the vague description but I only had experience with these in grade school. I had a couple friends in my class that had just come to the US from Japan and brought toys with them. They were little warrior type guys that were about the size of the plug on eraser heads from the 80's-90's. They were short with short arms and legs and not really articulated at all. They came in little plastic covers like McDonald's toys used to. They had helmets, weapons etc and were really cool. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Thanks

MUSCLE figurines maybe?

Nope not MUSCLE. They were different colors and they had like armor sort of warrior/robot type guys but they were small. I want to say maybe they had like trading cards of them too but that may be incorrect. I pulled an image from a video game I'm aware of that has a battle suit/robot that kind of looked like what the japanese figures looked like. Mind you this is just something I can think of that looks similar but it has nothing to do with the actual toys I'm looking for. But definitely the same type of idea kind of a compact stocky warrior/robot.

Thanks

Gundam maybe? They had those kinda toys as well.
