The Penanggalan. Malaysia's most famous vampire legend, it consists of a woman's head that flies around with her intestines and other entrails dangling out of her neck, which she uses like tentacles.

This would be awesome.

Also, i would have liked a headless horseman figure.

Or failing that, Jesus and Buddha MIMPs to battle against my Kali and Ganesha.

More crpytozoological stuff like a Chupuacabra would be nice. Maybe a Mothman. A Bunyip. A Snark (or a Boojum) - although this would entail some incredible imagination on the part of the designer. A Naga. A Wyvern. A Sphinx and a Kappa.

Tsuchinoko! The weird little guy would go great with the existing cryptids and fabled creatures.

Also, the dragon of the Ishtar Gate seems right up the alley of the MIMP series, and would be distinctive enough from the boring Series 2 Dragon to be included.

Yara-ma-ya-who is another favorite of mine, it's the aboriginal "boogieman," a small goblin-like creature with a head like a frog and arms covered in octopus suckers. It sucks blood through its suckered fingers, then swallows the victim whole and spits them back out alive and well.

And out of dragon legends, I like the Peluda - a dragon with the body of a porcupine, legs of a turtle and head of a venomous snake, able to fire its quills.

The Mongolian Death Worm is also fairly famous.

Well known MIMP they probably would have dolled up the death worm with angry eyes, gnashing teeth and some tentacles or something :lol:

Wouldn't Skunk Ape look almost exactly like our bigfoot figure? :lol:

Heh. I was going to say the same thing about them "embellishing" the Skunk Ape somehow, actually.

Also, their take on Ziz might be interesting, if they did something different from Roc; they already did Behemoth and Leviathan, so it only seems fair. And while we're on a biblical note, perhaps Goliath. A monstrous jackalope--like what they did with Hanniver?

Naga, Phoenix, Sphinx... and I have to add my vote for Mothman, too.

Yeah, Nuckelavee is a skinless humanoid growing out the back of a skinless horse, each with only one eye and various exaggerated, monstrous features. The figure would have been extra bizarre if it borrowed some other common traits of the legend; the horse head is often said to have a mouth as big as the rest of its body, and flippers for legs!

Kelpie on the other hand is a mass of seaweed that take on a horse or woman-like shape to lure men. Once mounted (in either sense :lol: ) its glue-like skin holds the victim while the monster submerges and drowns him, to be eaten later.

Anyway, Japanese YOUKAI could have filled several series on their own. You can browse around a hundred of them on obakemono.com , but there are closer to a thousand in folklore.

Besides Tengu, some of the most famous include Karakasa (a one-eyed, one-legged, haunted umbrella) Tanuki (magical raccoon-dog with gigantic shape-changing testicles. They leave that part out of a lot of toys and anime...but not ALWAYS) Kitsune (multi-tailed fox) and of course Kappa (the bowl-headed duck-turtle goblin, sometimes said to suck intestines from the rear ends of swimmers)

If only one youkai is right up MIMP's alley though, it's probably Tsuchigumo, the Earth-Spider. A huge, hairy, intelligent, ancient arachnid with shape-shifting powers. Sometimes portrayed with a hideous wolf-like head or even multiple heads. It's the villain of one of Japan's most famous hero legends, comparable to our own "St. George and the Dragon."

Great website Scythmantis, really cool illustrations. I would also love to see a Kappa - I had a book when I was a kid called 'A Dictionary of Monsters and Mysterious Beasts' (which I just recently bought in a bout of nostalgia. God bless the internet.) with great illustrations and a particularly cool image of a Kappa. I'm tempted to scan some of the illustrations because they are really excellent. The book however, did not mention that the Kappa was prone to suck your intestines through your arse.

Also, this Tanuki business has got me reassessing my childhood. Does this mean that when I got a Tanuki suit in Mario Bros 3, I was swinging Mario's balls around to make him able to fly??

They could indeed use their genitals to fly around, so yeah, they just used the tail as a PC substitute. Tanuki are also described pitching a tent out of their scrotum, as they can grow it to huge proportions.

They would also use it as a shield against their enemies, which is damn impressive. You do NOT want to mess with a creature whose response to an attack is to present his nuts :crazy:

I forgot the Umi Bozu! I like how the figure isn't technically inaccurate. The monster in legend is usually said to be so huge, people only ever see its smooth, bald scalp and a pair of gigantic round eyes.

You can find Loch Ness Monster as part of Series 2 - number 56
http://www.raumhafen...p...0- Series 2

Champ, never heard of that water beast...

Jersey Devil would make a good figure! (don't know if that is correct in link but looks pretty intense)
