The lizard and horse look like something that someone put out there as a joke. The link leads to a page w/o any real content. Funny though.
Here though is an actual collection of the Y-MSF figures and rocks that has amused so many:

Stop it, please. I don't think Y-MSF will follow your lead on this one.
Now if it came with an accessory

[Destroyer]

Well I will buy the Megalon from this company sometime this year. Nothing against the Bandai one, but this one just looks, well, cool. $70 is pricey....but I would rather buy it than the Bandai one.

Actually the Marmit and X-Plus versions are very good too!

But those are the ultra expensive types, right? X-Plus anyway.

C'mon, what kid would not want a Giant Wild Boar from FCTW ?

[Showa Gyaos]

I personally do not own any Y-MSF figures (yet). BUT, I have seen images of these figures, and I'd have to say that I enjoy the Hedorah designs the most. I like the way they're sculpted and how intimidating these skreeonk are made to be.



^The colors look natural for a monster made of pollution. I also like the way Hedorah is posed.



^The ones in the back just look pissed off. I love it.



^The detail put into this one is just amazing to me.

Yeah, that last one is totally a CCP if I recall correctly. Don't recognize the ones in the middle pic... are they Y-MSF?

No, the back two are not. The middle one is. And the bottom one is CCP.

The rock, horse and boar need monster bios on the main site.

If anyone ever came across a picture of the King Ghidorah prototype, please share!
Maybe it'll see the light of day one of these years?

[JVM]

Honestly, I'd buy plenty more of Y-MSF's stuff if they weren't just so damn fragile in my experience. That kills it for me more than anything.

If it ever comes out. History has taught me that there's really a 20-1 shot that an announced or prototype Y-MSF figure will ever actually get made. Most don't.

[Petezilla]

Yes, that's because Y-MSF is only one (!) guy doing all these things (I've heard that, at least). So most likely he has to pay for the Toho license fees for each monster AND he also has to pay for a factory producing his figures on his own before he actually get's money in from the sales, so he sort of has to do only short runs of each figure. I don't know if it's even just a hobby of that guy, but I believe that the above reasons account for the heavy price tag on the Y-MSF items.

[RedZillaKing]

Say what you want about Y-MSF, at least they're still producing new 6 inch figures. An incredibly slow rate is better than not at all. If half those molds are made, a lot of 6 inch collections are going to get a lot more diverse. Not to mention they've already made Gabara, Manda, Megalon, Kumonga, Varan, and, um... Octopus/rock/snake. Awesome. There are prototypes of a second Varan, Ebirah, Gorosaurus, Kamacuras, and many more. These are 6 inch figures that Bandai wouldn't dare to make.

I tend to agree. It would be nice to see The Gargantuas though.
