So we have a long-running game show over here in the UK called Mastermind (not sure whether other countries have this or not), where contestants are quizzed on a topic of their own choosing - no matter how obscure, the show creates a series of questions for it. It gave me the idea of creating a Mini Figure version of Mastermind, where questions are created on the wide range of toy lines that we love on this form, then people can test themselves and their knowledge out against them. I'm hoping that others will add their own questions to this thread based around particular lines which they have a working knowledge of or just enjoy collecting.

It makes sense for me to start with Monster In My Pocket, and with the help of Jud (Behemoth) we have complied a set of Mastermind questions for the MIMP fans out there to test themselves on. The answers will be hidden under 'spoiler' buttons - something I suggest others who add their own question sets also do. Resist the temptation to use the Internet and see how well you can do - enjoy!

I've never seen the show, but it sounded fun. Hope you all enjoy!

Yeh that's the idea bud, just having a go and see what you know. I'm hoping someone creates a MUSCLE set so that I can have a go at that.
