Hi all,


Pine green: Skeleton, Spring-heeled Jack, Invisible Man, Hunchback

Cyan blue: Winged Panther, Mad Scientist, Charon, Mummy

Neon orange: Phantom & Ghoul

Neon pink: The Beast & Witch

I would like to know if this is all of the UK ONLY cereal(Woolworth) Premiums that were released in the Series 2 colours & pine green. From my findings I think it is but confirmation would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

 

Edit:

Looks like these are actually Woolworths figures, not Kellogs.

Yes that is all 12 of them.

Great, thanks.

As a side note question. Other than the cereal Premiums mentioned above were there any other Series 1 Premiums(in Series 2 colours & pine green) that were released in the UK outside of cereal & the board game?

There were also the re-release of Cerberus and Ghost in glow in the dark, series 2 neon green and neon pink.

Yes-I forgot to mention those. Good shout.

I read somewhere about some of these coloured Series 1 Premium figures coming with the cassette.
Any idea if this was released in UK?

Thanks.

Not sure about a UK release, but isn't that one of the sources for the orange version of The Beast?

I read on here it was orange Werewolf & hobgoblin that came with the cassette & I've seen pics of orange cockatrice come with it too.
Would be good if anyone knows if these were released in UK.
Although with a name like Monster Rock Music it's unlikely lol but you never know.

I havnt heard of an orange The Beast before but would be cool to find out more about that one too.

Might be confusing it with the neon red Beast where it ends up looking more orange instead and/or the orange Werewolf.

 

For example, I don't think this is a legit orange The Beast? https://www.lulu-ber...-a24498-en.html

Sure looks kinda orange to me but I know what you mean, camera lighting can throw colours right off sometimes. Especially reds, pinks & oranges I find.

Looking at pics of the cassette it was a Halloween special so even more unlikely it was released in UK as sadly Halloween is not really a big deal here like it is over in the US.

Also the reason I'm making this list of UK Series 1 Premiums is one of my collecting targets will be to chip away & hopefully collect them all. I have about half already in my collection so I'm well on my way.

This recently became my new obsession lol. I Just completed my Shreddies set, complete with Blemmyea tourist. But now I have to collect all the pine green and cyan blue MIMPS bc I find them so satisfying to look at. The pine green is perfect for MIMPS imho, and the blue matches nicely with the Shreddies blue. 

 

So far I have a pine green Griffon, Hobgoblin, Wendigo, Spring Heeled Jack(lookin sharp!), and the Great Beast ....but I have seen for sale also the Invisible Man, Tengu, Behemoth, Hunchback and Skeleton. I've seen them included with the MIMP board game also. 

 

The pink ones I've seen include the Witch and Kraken. They look great, again mixing nicely with the Shreddies pinks.

 

Blues I've seen include the Winger Panther and Mad Scientist. 

 

The orange and yellow from this set is also nice, I prefer them to the Greek orange and yellow, but they're not a priority for me.

A small part of me regrets selling all eight of the board game variants and what I had of the “arcade” figures (pine green Rex, I forget the others). The colors were somehow more perfect than standard and S1 neon colors and they were that little bit extra special.
