Hello,
this is going to sound silly as I was looking through a box of old photos I came across a letter addressed to Father Christmas which my son wrote when he was 7 years old, he's 30 now, on the list is Terminator 2, GI Joe, Battleship game, and monsters in my pocket. I am going to try and get the items for Christmas this year, frame the letter along with a photo of when he was 7. Anyway I've been looking on ebay and did a little research on MIMP, Would I be right to say I need series 5 - for 1992? And is anyone selling any from this series?
Look forward to hearing from you guys n dolls, thank you.
caz.

Hey - fun idea! If it was 1992 it probably would have been either MIMP Series 2 or Series 4, the Super Scary series (Series 3 were cereal/fast food premiums never sold in stores). Good luck!

In 1992 we still had MIMP series 1 & 2 for sale here (in Australia). The first three series are the better ones

Series 1 and 2 were and still are the most recognisable MIMP series, and I'm sure both were still being sold in 1992 over here in the UK too.

That's just about the best Xmas present idea I've ever seen

Identify these toys?
