I love Tengu, I think he has a fun pose like he is coming to get you, but he can't compete with the sheer wtf of random canfull of monster/monster toss guy!

Seriously, I think Megaman just found some competion.

[dankingery]

yokai all the way! tengu get's my vote because i actually know what it is and liked playing with my mimps when i was a kid. i never had any canfull of monsters and this sculpt has nothing of interest for me. the pose is bland to put it mildly. it may as well be lying on the metal table waiting for it's autopsy after getting it's ass handed to it by tengu. it kind of looks like a chicken too, so why would i like a chicken unless it's hot wings or chicken fries?

[Ghost Lion]

Tengu is awesome. This guy could win it all!

[spastik4plastik]

dam - gotta be more careful what i wish for.
i really like some of those monster toss figs, but i'm not sure this is up there as a favorite. never thought of it, but it DOES look like a chicken. - a rubber chicken part way thru being splayed.
it deserves points for total strangeness.

tengu is one of the best MIMPS imo. he's mean, he's looking for trouble and he's bad@$$ enough to back up his threats.

my heart wants to vote for that canfull monster, but tengu is just so much nicer all around.

one question if known, is that canfull monster the same rubber as the select figures? it sure looks similar. i DO really like that vinyl like rubber.

Tengu is one of my favourite MIMPs - He is effectively the Boba Fett of MIMP - i cannot think of another MIMP flying monster who is better than he. Winged panther? Pah! Dragon? Give me a break! Tengu is mean and vicious and if he isn't swooping down and ripping you to bits with his talons, i imagine he is swooping down picking you up flying several feet into the air and then letting you go, your body smashing on the spiky rocks below.

Having said that, i cannot get the picture of the other guy to load so i cannot actually vote... not yet anyways.

There's something about a bebeaked yellow monster I've just got to vote on.

[Scumdogg]

I came in here 100% sure i was going to vote for Tengu, and then i actually had to go get both figures out and look at them, and the Canful of Monsters guy managed to pull out a surprising victory. Sorry Tengu, i still think you're awesome though!

[Soupie]

The Monster Toss guys were taken from the Ultraman line so I'm sure Boa or URS can tell us its name. Anyhow, for some reason, as wacky as it sounds, this figure is similar to the image my mind conjures up when I think of angels or archangels.

There's just something mystical or holy looking about that Monster Toss figure. It's definitely one of my favorite mini-fig sculpts of all time!

i'm surprised how close this one is. i had no idea so many people liked foghorn leghorn. i guess my diseased mind can't comprehend the appeal of that yellow monster.

[BaltanII]

That's Varduck Seijin, from Return of Ultraman.



Serious, realistic giant alien he ain't.

I do like Tengu and think he's a nice MIMP sculpt, but I never liked his pose and his actual body, from the times I've seen him in person, always seemed difficult to make out. And he's up against Varduck Seijin. He lost.

Tengu gargoyle guy!

[dankingery]

wow, that costume is awful. i think that pic may hurt the canfull figures candidacy.

[musclemenkids]

well i ended up voting for the canful of monster dude. Tengu is fierce, but if that other thing came a knocking at my door i think i would crap myself to death - it is freaked up! It is far too interesting not to win this round i thinks

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

I voted for Varduck, he is just cool. I love the way he looks at me through my kitchen window every night.

[Ridureyu]

These are both fantastic.

Varduck:

+Utterly unique

+Monstrousosity

+Cool

+Has fun playability

-Not very imposing, is rather small


Tengu:

-One of my favorite MIMP sculpts ever

+Ruined me for the REAL Tengu for years (big-nosed birdman?)

+great posing

+Surprisingly good detail

+Monstrousosity

+Has a pirate earring on one wing

-Has an odd number of fingers.

The MIMP Tengu exhibits all of the prerequisite "fun to play with " toy characteristics.
It has wings...
Muscles....
Claws...
A loincloth ...
Even a creepy face and yet...

That yellow figure radiates pure evil.

I see the face of an ancient Babylonian Owl trying to slide through a portal in its mid torso . That stare...that stare. Its like all other figures can jest and shuffle around you but you should *not* touch the yellow one or youll die. Allattention should be given to that figure.
Take a bathroom break and it will kill you .
Sandwhich? Death.
Taking a trip to the store? Death.
In fact any sudden moves seem like an excuse for the evil within that thing to strike you with cardiac arrest.

It gets my vote if for no other reason that its creepy in a "not fun like Omletto" way :|

[Articulationnut]

I voted for Varduck, he is just cool. I love the way he looks at me through my kitchen window every night.

See my post above....

[Donkeykid77]

Tengu looks like a werewolf with wings!

The other fellow looks like a wimp with a large africanesk tribeshield for his face...

So TENGU!!! Easy winner in my book.

Now I see why you didn't pipe in earlier.

Wow. Talk about Butt-Ugly monsters!
