Posted 28 January 2016 - 07:44 AM

I've been collecting MUSCLE and various random LRG so far and never really set my sights on any other series. So, I just ordered some GPK Series 2 Minikins boxes. 1 Hobby and 1 Retail. I'm a child of the 80s and GPK has been around my entire life. So, I fugred , why not.

Can't wait to start cracking packs!

 

Anything outstandingly rare I should keep an eye out for?

I had read about the hobby box peach ones. Are the black ones the retail version of the peach color?

I am pretty sure you are guaranteed at least one peach per hobby box.  I only bought one box and got one figure, but I think others have pulled more than one. 

 

I think black figures can be found in retail or hobby boxes, but they are really rare.  I found two (one S1 and one S2), both from retail. 

 

A quick glance at eBay shows peach figures listed at $20 and black figures listed at $100+. 

 

Best of luck with your boxes!  Hope you pull a black Adam Boom -- which would be the most valuable S2 for sure!

 

On second thought I hope you pull whatever figure you like the most in black and peach and yellow!

Have Series 1 and 2 Hobby Boxes of 2 packs I've yet to crack open.

Curious about the ratio myself.. Looking forward to reading your result...

I had read about the hobby box peach ones. Are the black ones the retail version of the peach color?

 

No -- both series had black figures, only Series 2 had Hobby boxes and peach figures, and peach were given specific odds (if I remember correctly, 1/12 packs in a Hobby box). Topps never said a word about the black figures. They just randomly appeared in packs for both Series 1 and 2, without any specific odds of finding them ever revealed. They did seem to be a bit easier to find in Series 2 than in Series 1. 

 

As steverotters said, I believe with the Hobby boxes you'd get at least one peach (though I remember some people pulling 3-4 out of a single box). But Hobby boxes were never easy to find, so for a while peach figures were going for nearly what black figures did, if not more. I think recently the prices have come down a lot.

I'll certainly document all of the packs. I'm quite interested to see what comes of it.

Okay, kiddos, here are the breakdown results for the 24 pack retail box. The hobby box hasn't arrived in the mail yet but I will post those results when it arrives.

The ratios weren't what I had expected.

 

Pack breaks are as follows:

  1. Painted Graffiti Petey / Blue Hot Scott
  2. Painted Adam Boom / Blue Semi Colin
  3. Painted Dale Snail / Blue Hairy Harriet
  4. Painted Bouncing Bert / Red Waxy Wendy
  5. Painted Mushy Marsha / Red Toady Teddy
  6. Painted Dale Snail / Blue Michael Mutant
  7. Painted Graffiti Petey / Blue Hot Scott
  8. Painted Slobby Robbie / Red Double Heather
  9. Painted Weird Wendy / Green Yeti Eddie
  10. Painted Yeti Eddie / Green Mad Mike
  11. Painted Oozy Suzy / Blue Jolly Roger
  12. Painted Bouncing Bert / Blue Waxy Wendy (plastic material short, legs are nubs)
  13. Painted Adam Boom / Green Semi Colin
  14. Painted Hot Scott / Red Grim Jim
  15. Painted Mad Mike / Red Weird Wendy
  16. Painted Outer Space Chase / Blue Oozy Suzy
  17. Painted Fishy Phyllis / Yellow Outer Space Chase
  18. Painted Hairy Harriet / Green Many Lenny
  19. Painted Many Lenny / Blue Oozy Suzy
  20. Painted Adam Boom / Green Semi Colin
  21. Painted Waxy Wendy / Green Semi Colin
  22. Painted Fishy Phyllis / Green Outer Space Chase
  23. Painted Graffiti Petey / Blue Hot Scott
  24. Painted Grim Jim / Blue Fishy Phyllis

 

So, that's 1 painted figure per pack (Percentages are rounded off to nearest whole number) :

 

Painted: 24 Figures : 50%

Blue : 11 figures :  23%

Green : 7 Figures : 15%

Red : 5 Figures : 10%

Yellow : 1 Figure : 2%

 

 

Overall, this was a lot of fun and I can't wait to break into my hobby box and report back. Expected delivery is on the 8th. B)

Anyone know any more info on the distribution of the monocolors?  I guess I have not looked around much so maybe the information is already readily available.

 

I know the first box I opened had the following ratio, pretty similar to Epic's results:

10 blue

6 red

5 green

3 yellow

If you're shooting to complete all S2 colorways let me know, Epicus. I have a lot of doubles in red, blue and green -- even have a few extra yellows left. I have a few specific figure/color combos I'd like to complete too if you've got'em. I do have some S1 doubles too but not nearly as many as S2.

I completed my s1 and s2 all colors except yellow and peach. My kids have claimed all of my s1 doubles but I have an almost full box of extras for s2.

I'm trying to build my yellows and/or peach for either set.
