I like the break dancin' skeleton.

I really like the MIMP skeleton. They really did a good job at not making it goofy like some of the mimp sculpts. There is something tragic about the whole thing. Where is his missing leg, and what is he doing with someone elses skull? I think it is very creative the way the designers allow him to stand by using the skull he is holding as a crutch. Yeah overall i think this is a good example of a good MIMP sculpt.

I kinda like the GPKs legs and detail on his dungarees, but i have said it before, these sculpts do not do justice to the collectible cards. The cards were great because of their rich colours and superb detail which is something lost here.

This is one of my least favorite Mimp sculpts, that said I don't feel like the GPK sculpt is that great either, I'm going to think on this one awhile longer.

I'm actually voting for the GPK figure this time, if for no other reason than the skeleton being my least favorite MIMP from the monochrome series. If i was just seeing the picture it might be different, but it's just a terrible figure in person, in my opinion.

I HATE the skeleton.

I also own both, or have in the past. The GPK really is more like a zombie if you don't know about the card series. I beleive it has a higher playfactor to it for that reason-- even as a kid, I didn't play with the skeleton-- he had no leg!

The skeleton is great, and strangely one of the few series 1 5 pointers that I never got when it was available. They did a good conversion of it in the NES game, too.

Really?! I've had quite a few MIMP's pass through my hands and I thought it really was one of their better ones. The only knock I can think of is that it felt a bit delicate, like a kid could accidentally rip or tear it – maybe.

Yeah, that's kind of my problem with it i guess. I like a durable LRG, something with some substance. I'm not a big fan of the thinner Kinnikuman figures either. Also it is just a skeleton, which in my opinion is a lot more boring than most of the other MIMPs.

I mean, "Look out, it's a Banshee!" or "Oh no, Baba Yaga is after us!" Yeah, that's cool. I can get into that. But honestly, how's this guy going to get you? Skeleton Power?

Theorgg's take on the GPK is pretty cool... I never thought about it that way before.

But for whatever reason, I just don't like these Cheap Toys figures. Maybe it's the fact that they're so small and seem unsubstantial. Or maybe it's because part of the appeal of GPK cards is in the background, which puts the character in a context that the GPK figures lack.

But a skeleton figure always seems cool to me. And the bonus skull that he's leaning on is pretty cool too. I go with the skeleton!

skeleton is honestly really fun, here he is in the boglin farm riding a sparkly bum ant and spanking him.

Just wait until he tosses that skull full pelt at your head and renders you unconcious - you wake up missing a leg, and he is out on the town, dancing and jigging with bits of your anatomy!!

[dankingery]

i'd like a third party candidate. i refuse to vote for either. don't want the taint of their suck on my hands. honestly, the only fun i'd have playing with either figure would be burning them with a magnifying glass or melting them with army men.
