Hey there fellas, when scouring around eBay today I happened to come across this rarity. http://www.ebay.co.u...3.c100033.m2042

 

It appears with the exact same 12 figures that the game usually comes with but the colours have had a complete mix up. Kali is in Red and Catoblepas is in Yellow (I always wondered where those 2 originated from and now we finally know!).

 

I take it this must be a U.S. only variation as it's a stateside auction. Quite pricey I must say!  :unsure: 

 

For those interested, you'll find the U.K. variation listed in the figure's packaging guide here: http://www.raumhafen...s/mimp/mimp.txt

 

Rather similar to the Decipher board game, there can only have been 2 differing versions of the same figures inside.

 

Unless anyone can shed further light on this topic and whether there was an exclusive Monster Clash set with neon figures inside, please let me know and share with rest of the group!  :D

 

:thanks:

I always assumed that the two figures came in two combinations of colours anyway. I tend to go for bundles with the monster clash figures in and I have a good collection of both figures in both colours.
I'm sure Behemoth's site lists both figures in both colours as monster clash premiums.
I hold a sneaking suspicion that the neon variants of both figures were used as substitutes occasionally as I have had them turn up together in bundles in their respective combinations , but I have nothing to back that up.

Edit: maybe the mainland Europe release got the neon combinations? and yes-that is way overpriced!

You are correct I assumed they were from the same game, though it is nice to have it confirmed.

Thanks for your input on this guys, really appreciated. :thumbsup:

 

Funnily enough, I didn't get any purple figures with my game. I got some Series 2 green figures instead believe it or not! :blink: They were Cerberus, Ghost and Merrow. Anyone else heard of this anomaly?

Could anybody show a picture comparing NG Ghost &/or Cerberus from series 1 and 2?

I'm waiting myself for a lot that includes a yellow Kali. I also have seen various lots along the time that include a yellow or red Kali or Catoblepas mixed without hesitation, funny thing.

Here's a picture of them, series 1 neon green are on the left. The series 2 neon greens are much brighter on the right.
