Two New Additions - Please help me name them

[JACKSJE4]

After a long hiatus of Pachi collecting, I succumbed to the urge to add more machines to my growing collection. I found these on ebay from a local seller and offered him $30 each. I honestly didn't think he would accept, but he did. One is a Hiewa and the other is a Nishijin Sophia. Both are in pretty good condition overall, just missing parts for the lights (easy fix).

After staring at them for a long while, I cannot decide what I should call them, so I thought I would turn to the experts and ask for your assistance. The center piece of the Hiewa kind of looks like a clown, but not really. And the center piece of the Nishijin kind of resembles a lobster, but not really. Frankly, I am stumped.

Here are some photos of each one - please let me know what they look like to you. I will bow to the concensus of this awesome community.

Thanks in advance!!

Jeff

I see the clown and lobster.

How about Charlie and Lenny?

[ACMech]

They're both really nice... But I'm kinda lost as to what they are... Best of luck

Hey, that lobster's got an "8 pack"! It also reminds me of "Mothra"!!

The Heiwa looks more like a really happy cartoon puppy to me.

Clown Dog Bear Flower for the first one and CRUSTACEAN!! for the second one!!

[hanabi]

They both look totally bodacious to me, so I'll call them Bill & Ted!!

Actually the 'clown' one looks a bit like a cooked breakfast with a bacon mouth and a couple of fried eggs for eyes

Sorry guess that isn't helping much

The Lobster one has the word 'ebira' just above the centrepiece, isn't 'ebira' the giant scary lobster in Godzilla??

Congrats on your new additions

So, I saw this thread last night, and had some trouble coming up with names. I decided to sleep on it and see what happened...well still nuthin'.

I like the idea of a breakfast face for the one, and it does look like the felix the cat too. As for the giant "8-pack abs" lobster I'm lost. Maybe something with claw in it or just the ebira words?

Wish I could be more help, good luck

On the Nishiji, Ebi is shrimp in Nihongo, the Google US translate for Ebira was Quiver-which I take as lost in translation from the Kanji. My Nihon coworker fed it into the Google JP translate page and found this link, Ebira is a Godzilla moster. The link below is to the movie poster of Godzilla throwing around Ebira （エビラ）Sorry it's a monster of a link.
