Report the seller. I'll bet you either get your figures, or your cash back.

Hey guys,

So I was on one of my facebook collector groups: Australian action figure collectors.
and a guy posted a pic, asking "what are these? I found them at an op shop for $2 and picked them up."
I reply with "those are monster in my pocket and boglins great find!"
other members of the group join in saying stuff like "oh yea, they're alright not that great though."
I was like you guys tripping or what?
the guy who found them didn't like them either, and asked "I don't really like them either, does anyone want them"
I jumped on it post haste!
end of the story, I let the action figure collectors keep their k-mart transformers and I'll keep my dope lot of my 2 favourite LRGs.

Thought I'd share :

$2 for that whole bunch? That is a steal! Granted I don't see any MIMP rares but a boat load of commons will definitely fetch more than that.

You've got a NP Skeleton in there - that's probably the most uncommon of those figures pictured. Great score though, in particular the variety of Boglin sculpts.

[Jet-Mech]

Nice score. I'd have jumped on it posthaste, too.

Nothing major, just around 8 or so figures consisting of Wrestlers In My Pocket and 2006 MIMP. The listing pictures showed the figures in piles, so it was hard to see what I was getting to some extent. I only cared about 2 figures within the lot anyways, plus the seller has given me a partial refund

Thats cool about the refund. Debating if I want to go after series 1 or wrestlers first lol I love both series. As long as it wasnt series 3 lol

[spacefrog]

Cheers guys, yea was stoked with it.
Bit of beginner collector so it added a good chunk to my stash.

[AzraelDarknut]

 

Pretty excited about these. I got a Laser Beast, three armorvors, and apparently Weaponeers of Monkaa did a Kinnikuman Golem release. Awesome, right?

 

I'm debating whether I should open the Kinniku-Golem or not

I left my Kinniku-G sealed same as my other WoM figures. I like to collect them but don't have room to display them. I heard Spy Monkey might not be allowed to release the rest of the Kinniku-G stock, so whatever number was sold at Designer Con might be the only ones out there. 

[thenerdieststore]

I think it depends lol I am an open guy with my displays because I like to touch stuff like I was a kid again lol your call

[Ericnilla]

Yeah I heard they can't sell the rest too. Glad I got mine!

[AzraelDarknut]

Really? That's pretty interesting. Does anyone know why they can't sell the rest of them?

[Ericnilla]

Because they didn't get permission to use the Kinnikuman character design.

[Lorenzo49]

Just got this italian Rammmajamma mint condition in its original blister. Such happy

Made a purchase from ericnilla not too long ago, and it arrived today. Five Fistful of Aliens, 22 Monster In My Pocket, and a M.U.S.C.L.E. 207 who didn't catch the train fast enough when the last package was shipped.

Glad to help with your set!

[Jet-Mech]

Thanks again, Eric! I like the Fistful of Aliens; in a way, they remind me a little of Gormiti. Might be picking up a few more in the not-too-distant future, I also need to leave you feedback. Better do that now, before I forget!

[Ridureyu]

The Hudson Vs. Xenomorph (being shot up) set

 

Grimlock!

 

There's also the new POTA Maurice, but I'll try to get some real pictures of him first.

[Ridureyu]

Okay, this is gonna take a bunch of posts. SO I'll ee 'em out, a few at a time.  First up:

Maurice!

Aka The Unseen Librarian

 

And now add some Demon's Chronicle:

Fairy Changeling

 

Ose

 

Moloch

 

Wadjet

 

 

Uriel

 

 

And in a later post, I'll start on the huge ple of monsters I also got.  Like, twenty.

[Ridureyu]

Okay, I got a veritable ton of Japanese Yokai (ghosts/spirits/monsters) figures recently, so I'll post them in more than one entry.  These guys almost all came with their own mini-dioramas, though I have added to them to flesh out the display.  First up:

 

 

The Tengu. Generally, without their long-nosed masks, they are birds or dogs.  I love the detail of the mask over his shoulder.

 

 

Here's Kappa in all of his intestine-eating glory.

 

 

Amakiri, who flies around and cuts fisherman's nets.

 

 

Nabebozu, the Pot Head Monk. This does not mean what you think it means.

 

 

Dorotabo, the undead spriit of a farmer who worked hard for his land, but whose son wasted it.  He emerges from the mud while screaming, "THIS IS MY LAND!"

 

 

Aobozu, theblue monk... who abducts children!

 

As a special bonus, this is what the "set" for that picture looked like:

 

[Ridureyu]

More!

 

Kamaitachi, the Wind Weasel. They fly in groups of three, and cut you up with their scythe-like arms. They also heal you. For some reason.

 

 

Kawauso, the Otter spirit.  They can be friendly, they can be benign, they can be ischievous, or they can be murderous.

 

 

Speaking of benign or monstrous, here's the Kitsune.  When they gain their seventh tail, their fur also becomes gold.

 

 

Nurarihyon, the Boss Of All Monsters.  And what nefarious deeds does this great ghost get up to?  When you leave yoru house, he sneaks in and eats up all the food.  Truly chilling!

 

 

Tsuchigumo, the Dirt SPider.  Some legends state that it grows to be the size of an ox, and even gains the head and horns of such an animal.

 

Wanyudo, the spirit of a wicked man forced to spend his afterlife as a flaming wheel.

[Ridureyu]

Ningyo, the Japanese Mermaid.  If you capture one, she will bring misfortune on you.  They can also prophesy.

 

 

Kyokotsu, literally "Crazy Bones."  It jumps out from a well and goes BOO!

 

 

Nue, a terrifying beast that floats in the clouds and grants nightmares.

 

 

Nuppeppo, a benign blob of foul-smelling flesh.

 

 

 

Tesso, the soul of a monk who was cheated, wronged, and murdered by a rival monastery.  He and his army of rats destroyed that monastery.  The figure plugs in on top of the desk, but I've found that it also wors leaning over it, as if in study.

[bachamn]

I was heavily looking into buying a set of those on YAJ a little over a year ago but the only ones that ever popped up in large batches were the mono "ink" colored ones. Your shots are cleared and more detailed than the product shots though, so now I really want to get a set. These are 100% in my wheelhouse.

 

Is that 2 series, or 3 in all?
