Absolutely loving those. I too think the monocolored versions look better!

Couple more prototypes now, "Ice Giant" and "Lumina"

And it does seem as if the new series is officially going to be called Heroes in My Pocket, if the pre-sale lots are anything to go by:

If you check the sellers other lots, you can see a load of others too!

The Satyr is one of my favorites:

 

 

 

[Draznar]

I think the satyr looks far too heroic and bulky.

I am also, like everyone else it seems, not really enjoying the style they've used in sculpting these figures. It just reminds me too much of anime and that is not my cup of tea. I liked the look of the ice giant before I knew his name and colours. I understand why he's blue, but I wish he was a different colour.

And just like everyone else, I love that Redcap.


Oh god this one is terrible:

i think it will not be a 2015 MIMP toyline, but a inspired (tribute) toyline, nothing official.

[Strontium Dog]

It looks official, the "in my Pocket" phrase is a registered trademark, isn't it?

[steverotters]

Morrison Entertainment Group has registered trademarks on the following:

 

Puppy in my Pocket

Kitty in my Pocket

Jungle in my Pocket

Pony in my Pocket

Baby in my Pocket

Ocean in my Pocket

Forest in my Pocket

Monster in my Pocket

 

 

So, "Heroes" should be GTG.

Any word on a UK release as yet? Summer 2027 or something like that is my guess!

[thenerdieststore]

I think they look awesome. Also I wouldn't call these anime lol these fall in line with those half-a**ed anime wanna-be shows like Teen Titans and the original Avatar. I still think they look great though. Just wouldn't put them in league with Crying Freeman, Birdy the Mighty and Sol Bianca lol that's awesome-anime

[bigazzhead]

That Red Cap reminds me a lot of the Green Goblin from the Spectacular Spiderman animated series.

I'm still kinda on the fence on these, but seeing them in monochrome sways me some.

I love the fact out of all the anime you could have chosen (Akira, Fist of the North Star, Ghost in the Shell) you chose to mention one not so popular Crying Freeman which happens to be my favourite, however I still feel the figures are very Japanese cartoon style.

Yeah, I'll be tracking down that Medusa.

[theassassin]

What's the betting that the "topless" Medusa will get complaints or be changed?

 

I bet it will on both counts

hahahah yeah. I love classics animes and I decided to think outside the box on this post. Its hard to go wrong with 80s anime.

Medusa sadly has met a bad end due to poor packing:

The mono colours look way better! I'm still gonna wait for their official release before dropping any money on these.
The figures themselves arent bad, but the artwork is pretty lame imo.a

Juddy, that seller was pretty sloppy to send them out as he did for even one, let alone two to arrive broken. Hope you got it sorted man.

Thats shitty man... Not so hard to pack em propably so no kudos for the seller

Also whats the matherial? Can regular mimp rubber go broken like that?

[steverotters]

That is resin for you.  It should glue back together reasonably well, that is why I wonder if it is worth the fiasco of sending it back to France or wherever.  I don't know that he had another one to send you anyway. Hopefully he will just give you a full refund without the return.  Still sucks though.

Resin is the material and MIMP rubber definitely won't break like that unless you really mess it up with a knife or something similarly destructive.

I asked for a refund, but he said he didn't see the problem! So I instituted a return through Ebay instead. Then I had to get customer service involved because he didn't understand the return policy (seller pays for returns on broken items on Ebay, buyer pays for all other returns). Ebay said he would either pay for the return or I would get a refund.

I can't believe he said he didn't see the problem. I mean, the damn arms are snapped off. Glad eBay is helping, though.

[Behemoth]

Here is his full response when I asked for a refund:

 

"I do not understand , yet you could see that the figure was well protected !
If you want another prototype, I can make you a good price!

Bonne journée"

Oh yeah, I remember that from when you posted it on Facebook. What kind of schmuck responds to a customer who just received a badly damaged product trying to sell another product?

It is an interesting way to do business, that's for sure.

[thenerdieststore]

lol wow the nerve of that buyer. Guess he doesn't care about feedback at all
