Unfortunately not but am checking for star value monster have got several hundred to search through

[Leviathan]

Here are my 2 cent`s to the auction:

The 1st Auction Picture looked infact Orange.
The 2nd picture lookes like a Yellow & Neon Yellow!
The 3rd pic looks like Neon Red, Yellow and Neon Yellow!
The 4th pic really confuses me. Winged Panther`s color looks alot brighter than Siren`s...Siren could also be BigBoy Yellowish.
Panther`s color looks compared too different to be genuine Orange imo.

I can really only suggest to take a photo of ALL the figures together in sun or at least daylight. Definitely worth it!

Hmm,so is this the real deal? I am still unsure, just saying I still wouldn`t bid at all.

What can erase the last doubts? Maybe a comparisson to a known orange premium or the last shot in sun- or daylight, just comin from a window for example.

Sorry, it`s really hard to tell in pictures and this is an not known figure/color combo so i`d try to make sure everything is clear.

I agree with you. No disrespect meant to the seller--I don't necessarily think they're trying to pull one over on somebody and I appreciate that they're taking action to try to resolve doubts, but something looks off to me about that orange. A photo taken outside in the daylight could help.

[orangewingedpanther]

I'll post daylight picture tomorrow as I want to help as much as possible

[bigburty]

I, like many I believe, want this to be the real deal. Surely every MIMP collector does. The new pics certainly answer some questions, but maybe also open up new ones. Looking at ebay pics #3 & #4 the panther looks a little insipid to me compared to the other figures - in particular the Siren. Either way, I'm glad that a MIMP figure is in the headlines for once (on here) and not a MUSCLE figure

As a MIMP Collector, I don't want it to be a new figure simply because that will be another ultra rare to spend lots of money on . But good luck to the seller on this one, I'll sit this auction out and wait to see what happens. I have my popcorn ready and will enjoy watching this MIMP movie.

Cant wait to see the outcome, I hope someone on here wins it
It would be great to see the panther with the rest of series 1 orange premiums.

[RareBob]

Well as i still wasn't 100% convinced even seeing these photos i've been chatting to other expericed collectors. I have been speaking with Fede (Gorm) he is ill at the moment and asked me to post details about this.

He informs me it was a custom he sold about 4 or 5 years ago. I do remember seeing a picture of Fede's Orange Jotun troll unsure if any of you have seen it but i thought that was a premium as well but he explained that using Neon Yellow mimps he could and still can make Orange series 1 figures. He told me that he created this winged panther and thus is sadly not a premium for those of you out there that felt it was. However, it is a similar colour to the premiums and is thus an orange panther if your into that.

He also mentioned that he also sold all those series 3 figures to the seller, which is helped him realise that it is actually his figure.

When he's better he will add to what ive said - but i felt its best in the mean time for no one to go bidding mad.

Thanks for the heads up bob.

[RareBob]

No worries,if im honest i dont think the seller is being underhand i think they either have forgot what they bought or just maybe thought it was genuine. At the end of the day he is right it is Orange and he never said it was premium. But least now people are more aware but can still get a cool custom if your into that.

Thanks for the heads up bob.

[GormTransMonsters]

Ehy Guys!!
Here I am ..
Sorry for late contact but I'm sick at the moment and have not been checking on LRG in these days at all...
I have been informed by Bob about that there is an auction running with an Orange WP Included.
That is my Custom, I sold in a lot of figures ages ago on Ebay .
I should have a picture to share but I've to search it in my PC folders...
So, dont bid on this auction unless your wanting a custom orange Panther and not a genuine premium panther

What a cute little Behemoth! I guess this movie is just about over, could have used a few more explosions...


PS Nice job on the custom

That's really cute! That was 100% mint conditions at all!!
In that lot we had:
Some neon yellow figures as you can see, a genuine gold Ghost, an Orange Winged Panther (custom) neon Red figures (Matchbox Hydra and 2001 Italian Kali) Cyan Ab.Snowman, Orange Anubis and Yellowish Siren.

I know there were other MIMP but when I see Behemoth the rest just disappears . I have the NY one but he has a slight bit of red fade on his face.

[GormTransMonsters]

I have a 99% mint Behemoth to sell if you're interested
But that's not cheap obiouvsly.

Maybe we can organize a trade PM if you like the idea

Hey, I did buy a big lot of figures about 4/5 years ago can't say i remembered getting an orange panther with it though there hundred of them i added lot i bought with the hundreds i collected as a kid, so looks like I've forgot what i had and got caught up the excitement of this post and did find evidence of orange existing through a frosties promo in 93/94 through an earlier forum on the site, just shows my nievety i suppose, sorry for cause such a fuss and i apologize for misadvertising it , really thought i had a super rare figure

Just a thing...
Why I remember to have sold that lot to a Mexican guy and you're instead signed as a U.K. member here and on Ebay??

Also Darryl remember really well about that auction because there was inside that Gold Ghost he wanted alot and I didn't know at the time...
Ehy Daz, do you remember about that auction??
If I'm not wrong that lot was sold to: kaworuheartless

Here the cut of my feedback left for other ebayers:

His ip address traces back to the UK.

[GormTransMonsters]

Yeah I'm probably that Guy if you say from Italy
Sorry, I got confused.. my mistake.
AH! Yes now I remember, you paid around 400 - 450 euros for that lot...
Good luck with your listing !

Do you still have in your own the Gold Ghost??.
If you're not interested in that piece I advice you that surely will be someone here that could be interested in that piece.

[bigburty]

Oh well, shows over then. I don't suppose you had an NP Werewolf, Kraken or Hobgoblin hidden in your stock pile ha??

[orangewingedpanther]

What would price be for me and buyer for Italian gold ghost and red kali, any help appreciated
