Woo I'm loking that, it looks pretty good, thanks Darryl!

Also, you've got the custom/unknown section for it too, any chance of putting up my picture of the weird Alu I've got? I'm thinking its a factory error as its mold lines are all in the same places as the other Alu's I've got and it looks pretty genuine.

I love your website. I use it a lot.

Thanks Pimp Nugget

Federico and I spoke recently about an idea he had to add packaging
to the website. I thought I would mention it here to get others
opinions.

Basically he was suggesting single packaging, where I was consider
the 24 packs etc, all forms of how MIMP was distributed. Now there
are a number of ways I could approach implementing this:

1. On the Blank Series pages:
http://www.monsterco...om/series1.html
There could be a large image that is a grouping of all the different
packaging.

2. Another link in each Series section
For example Matchbox | Italy etc another link Packaging
Here there would be a similar grid, perhaps images are larger to show
more detail. At the side bar the description would just have Matchbox,
Italy etc and they appear in a line. Obviously Matchbox would have
more examples than the others in this circumstance.

3. A link on each relevant page.
So here: http://www.monsterco...1-matchbox.html
There could be another link somewhere perhaps under the navigation
that says Packaging. This takes you to another page. Perhaps on that
page the link changes to say Figures, so you can return to previous.

I will have to do some mock ups to see how this could work. At this
stage though, what are you opinions on this?

[RareBob]

Thats actually a really cool idea - not that i collect packing of figures i do have some & think it would be quite interesting to see.
I reckon maybe another tab alongside the 'Matchbox' etc saying packaging.

Keep up the good work matey

Hey guys, I figured this would be the best place to ask this question rather than starting a new thread:

Out of my entire series 1 MIMP figure collection I've noticed I have one figure marked 'f' on the foot. Every other figure I have is either a, b or c as far as I've noticed, so was wondering if anybody could confirm if they have other MIMP marked with f that aren't Sonrics or Cromy? The other markings on the feet match regular MIMP markings and the sculpt is perfect (often an issue with Sonrics). I've searched for the answer in other threads but haven't found a definitive one.

Cheers

Yes man,
I can give you a confirmation that "f" letter on the foot is not an ultra special thing.
The figures with that letter are uncommon that's sure but no impossible to find.
I don't remember well which MIMP but I also own at least one figure or surely more with that unusual letter.
Anyway I'm not interested in those particulars so I never check the letters and maybe I own severals but I don't know they're in my collection..

I've a couple of yellow 'f' ones and they are a slightly different shade of yellow, maybe it was a later batch and the colour came out differently.

[bigburty]

Ok cheers guys, it's just that I've taken a small gamble on a figure that turned out to be marked f and wanted to check it was cosher Sounds like it paid off

I love this website! It's great to have a visual guide for the gazillion colours these guys come in.
The only thing is I wish I could tap the images and put a strike thru the ones I have.
