You know.... I thought about snaggin some loose extras. Even if they are doubles. I was contemplating trying to remove all the paint off of some to see if I could get that Mono-Mini feel from em.
So I think I'd be interested in as many doubles as you got IM.
Cool. I can't find your addy, so just pm it to me, and I'll get those out to you.

I really hope they don't snub Wonder Woman and end up including her in one of the sets. Cheetah would be cool, too. And I'm surprised at the lack of Joker.

They also have these super cool 36 packs coming out as an homage to the old school plastic army toys. Soldiers, Robots, and Aliens.

Scratch that, just saw them... And while the Batman family characters are interesting, along with Atrocitus and Sinetstro, the rest of those are "meh" in my book. I'll probably get them, URS, you can have all of my extras.

Don't know how it would react with the rubber.... but denatured alcohol is awesome for removing paint....

But are the sculpts any good? Absolutely. fkro's pic shows one of the best, Cerebus. There's an amazing, bright purple Cthuloid creature, a fluorescent orange beetle, and a sky blue rock monster. Keep in mind: they're shorter than a quarter, and they're overflowing with detail.
Hadda to put up this pic. Thanks fkro!
The human sculpts are workmanlike, but nine of the fourteen are interesting and unique monsters. None of the other boy lines do much for me, but this one is totally awesome!

Sweet! Extras are dandy. I gotta find something that takes the paint off easier. The things I've tried either didn't do jack nuts, worked but was exausting, or loves the taste of squinkie flesh.
Guessing here... but denatured alcohol eats the flesh huh? I'm sure acetone would melt 'em.

I see I am way late to the party on this but I just found out about the Myths and Monsters pack recently when I noticed it at Target. I've never bought any Squinkies before but I have a hard time passing up anything related to mythology monsters, and it was on sale, so I picked up a set. My favorites are the ones I could actually recognize as being from Greek mythology--Minotaur, Cerberus and Cyclops. As someone said earlier in the thread I wish they would have included a Medusa figure as well. Hopefully they'll continue the Myths and Monsters packs.
Dang, you guys have convinced me to pick up this pack. I hope there are some left when I check out Wal-mart and Target tomorrow.
How many did your stores have?

I haven't checked any Wal Marts for them, but I still see 1-3 packs whenever I go into nearby Targets. A couple weeks ago I also saw some at a Walgreens.
