Good question, the seller says he's not marked "MEG", so maybe another line tried to ride MIMP's coat tails. I'm not too knowledgeable on the wrestler line, weren't there some cereal premiums? Were they marked MEG? I can't imagine them not being so.

Yes there were but he isnt one of those, he isnt an MIMP at all.

That seems like a rather high-quality figure to not identified... Interesting.

Looks as though it could be a mini EXTREME DINOSAURS PVC figure(MATTEL 1996)
they are about the same size as the WIMP.
Hard to tell,not a great front view.

'On Sale' or 'For Sale'. It's really the same thing! The word, 'Sale' means YOU CAN BUY IT,
not that it is discounted. We as consumers are conditioned to think"On Sale"means it's cheaper.

He has the same post as the ED, if he is he should have a hexagon on one foot.

I recall someone bringing up here that Trendmasters, years before they got the Godzilla license in the late 90s, had a very cheap-looking toyline of aliens, and one of those lines used the same eggs that would be used for the Godzilla Hatching Monsters subline later.

The sculpting also definitely reminds me of Trendmasters. At least it's something!

With the better pic, I'm leaning towards Baltan's suggestion. I think the line was "Alien Invader" It's possible they had a smaller set of figs for that set. :unsure: I can't find any pics though.

Yep, sold my small set of four similar alien figures to a collector on here. Those things were cool, but I had to get rid of them.

To me! The one with three heads is my favourite, turns out Trendmasters are making all the best things without anyone knowing.
