Karakasa in particular are Spirits of Parasols (umbrellas) that reach the century milestone.

![[Television Series 8" Mego Style Incredible Hu] Someone asked to see some of my custom action figure work in the popular in the 1970s mego World's Greatest Super Heroes! format, so here's my personal favorite creation in that category... The Incredible Hulk, as he was portrayed by Lou Ferrigno in the CBS television series.
The head and hands are sculpted from scratch by me, and you're looking at resin copies of them that I painted. Much of the rest of the figure is a heavily modified mego "type 2" action figure body, known as such because it was the second type of body used for those types of figures. The shirt and pants originally came with a Waltons or Dukes of Hazard figure probably. I forget which.

![[Humanoid] The Humanoid was released in 1980 by Mego as part of the second wave of figures in The Black Hole line in support of the Walt Disney movie. However, it was only released in Canada and Italy at that time, and as such is considered to be one of the rarest mass produced action figures ever made.
The head came from a RAH Cobra Commander (the one w/a removable helmet). The body is from a movie Snake Eyes figure (arms were painted a different shade of black to match the cloak), "Attack in Paris," or something like that. The legs are from an older, 90s era version of Cobra Commander and had to be slightly modded to fit the newer Snake Eyes torso. The jacket is from (not 100% sure about this)a Star Wars episode 2 Shaak Ti figure, and the hood is from a vintage Robin Hood figure (an unintentionally hilarious looking sculpt of Morgan Freeman!) that was modified and airbrushed black.

In the mid-eighteenth century, hunters in the Ochamchir region of Georgia, which was a province of Russia at the time, captured a 'wild woman' who had ape-like features, a massive bosom, thick arms, legs, and fingers, and was covered with hair. This 'wild woman', named Zana by her captors, was so violent at first that she had to spend many years in a cage with food being tossed to her. Eventually, she was domesticated and would perform simple tasks, like grinding corn. She had an incredible endurance against cold, and couldn't stand to be in a heated room.
She enjoyed gorging herself on grapes from the vine, and also had a weakness for wines, often drinking so heavily she would sleep for hours. As Colin Wilson points out in The Encyclopedia of Unsolved Mysteries, this is likely how she became the
mother of many children to different fathers. These children usually died when she tried to wash them in the freezing river, a mistake that is understandible if she expected t](userimages/customs/32500/32051-1.jpg) Zana the Alma(Almas,Almastay.Kaptar) Megoby YokaiJohnThe Zana Story:

![[Spring-Heeled Jack] Spring-heeled Jack is a character in English folklore of the Victorian era who was known for his startling jumps. The first claimed sighting of Spring-heeled Jack was in 1837. Later sightings were reported all over England and were especially prevalent in suburban London, the Midlands and Scotland.
There are many theories about the nature and identity of Spring-heeled Jack. This urban legend was very popular in its time, due to the tales of his bizarre appearance and ability to make extraordinary leaps, to the point that he became the topic of several works of fiction.
Spring-heeled Jack was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical physiognomy, clawed hands, and eyes that "resembled red balls of fire". One report claimed that, beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight-fitting white garment like an oilskin. Many stories also mention a "Devil-like" aspect.

The kijimuna are said to live in trees, but the most common one is the banyan tree. They are often described as being child-sized, with messy red hair, red skin and large heads. They are also known to be excellent fisherman, able to catch many fish, but then only eating one of the eyes of the fish before leaving the rest of it. The Kijimuna festival in Okinawa is named after them. Another name for the kijumuna is "bungaya," which means roughly "Large-Headed."The Kijimuna are known to be very mischievous, playing pranks and tricking humans. One of their most well known tricks is to lie upon a person's chest, making them unable to move or breathe. This is known as "kanashibari."Even though the Kijimuna are tricksters, they have been known to make friends with humans. However, these relationships often go sour.
