MIMP is for Monster In My Pocket, MEG is for Morrison Entertainment Group

There is one skeleton in this lot, so I've managed to pretty-well alternate skeleton/zombie types through the 15 posts today (still a couple to come!), and don't expect a post-fest like this next year, it's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes; how it crumbled this year!

Wing-ed Daemons!

These also came as part of the mixed lot with the Yolanda's and some other stuff a few weeks ago, I have more in storage and would have Blogged them as a box-ticker at some point; being as this sample is a reasonably sized one it might as well be now!

These are all - I think - common line/series/version/wave 1 and 2 (I'll post a link to somewhere that explains it all better at the end!) with no rarities or unusual colours. My favourite colour of these is the apple-green of the right-hand winged panther; which is also one of my favorite sculpts from the various sets, along with Tony the [Trainer] Tiger from the Wrestlers line.

The most Halloween-specific of the sculpts with two colourways of a hunchback on the ends, an evil dwarven type, a yeti, skeleton and Death himself, come to the party to deal with the salmon-moose eaters!

Katzenberg:       I don’t see it that way, Geoff. Let me tell you what I think

  we’re dealing with here, a potentially positive learning

  experience…

Grim Reaper:    Shut up! Shut up you American. You always talk, you

  Americans, you talk and you talk and say ‘Let me tell

  you something’ and ‘I just wanna say this’, Well you’re

  dead now, so shut up.

Katzenberg:       Dead?
Grim Reaper:    Dead.
Angela:              All of us??
Grim Reaper:    All of you.
Geoffrey:            Now look here. You barge in here, quite uninvited, break glasses

  and then announce quite casually that we’re all dead.

  Well I would remind you that you are a guest in this house and…

[The Grim Reaper pokes him in the eye.]
Grim Reaper:    Be quiet! You Englishmen… You’re all so fucking pompous

  and none of you have got any balls.

Number two (from the left) is ork'ish and number 6 is ogre'ish, the rest will have to be looked-up, I haven't had time with preparing these posts to go into the minutiae!

An Ent-like tree-monster, storm wraith and sea-monster/serpent king, all three among my favourites and a couple of oddities!

I didn't follow these at the time, except the wrestlers who came in my cereal! Matchbox reboxed some; others were in Panini blind-bags and I think there are specials, well I know there are they are on Soupies Blog somewhere (link earlier today . . . previous post?), issued with a board-game.

Actually the werewolf (2nd from the left) should have been in the Pic-2 line-up, he's very Halloween! He's in my other preferred colour of these figures

The Elephantine Ganesha is another 'like' along with the other serpent-god, but the last two don't hit my mark at all!

Probably the best link for a guide to them

T is for Two - New Production Figurines

An eclectic pair today and; as both were reduced to clear; a slightly misleading header-title; as they are new-old production; if I'm going to be pedantic about it! Did I just get four semi-colons in one sentence . . . correctly? Get In!

Picked this up for 50p in that Eastern import shop in Basingrad I mentioned a while back, it's marked Nibariki on the base (new name in the tag list!) and is probably/presumably a Manga or Anime character I know nothing about, she may also be a de-packaged Gashapon type thing? [My Neighbour Totoro by Studio Ghibli]

This was 'end-of-line' in The Works, is marked to Nintendo, carried by Goldie/Goldie International in the Antipodes/US respectively and Together Plus (T+) in the UK and some of you will instantly recognise it as a Super Mario character, I don't know what he's called having avoided the whole video-game phenomena since its inception as 'Soma for the masses'. I'm calling him mushroom man!

She may look a little saccharine-sweet but she seems to be striding boldly around a post-apocalyptic wasteland, or Hades? Anyone know her identity? He has a full set of marks but for Nintendo, not the issuers.

They are from different sets, different formats, they are both '1: No Scale', their anthropomorphism/anthropology doesn't match, yet they look like the best of pals, happily starting a big adventure upon which the future of the universe may rely!

This 'aura of similarity' may be due to the fact that A) they are both PVC and B) are manufactured in several parts, welded into one with invisible glue-joints before retail sale, leaving them both with similar dynamic poses. Or that they're both grinning so happy they make you happy!

Package is tatty as this was literally the last one in the shop!

If I had a shelf with all of my favourite figures on it, next to the PC (as I know several of you do), these would both be going there as stand-alone, 'nice' figures of interest, I don't love them, but I do like them both - they're different!
