I'm not the best authority on ID'ing rarity of MIMPs, but I know that blue Tengu is a premium.

 

If you're looking to make the most cash, split whatever the rare ones out of the lot and sell them individually, then sell the rest in lots. (grouped by series, color, sculpt, or just random groups)

 

eBay will probably bring you in more cash, or you could sell here to avoid the fees.

 

If you do decide to part with any individual ones prior to eBay it looks like you have a number that I could use for my own collection that I'd be happy to pay you for. Around here $1 or slightly less seems to be the average going price for the common figures.

 

That box is nice too ;)

The board game figures are worth a bit. So that's the dark green Behemoth, the blue Tengu, pink Triton and orange Kraken. It would be worth selling those individually or as a set.

 

It would probably be worth selling the rest of the Series 1 figures as a single lot, especially as you have almost all the sculpts in ordinary colours.

 

Series 2 green Dragon and pink Ganesha tend to be a little harder to come by. May be worth selling those individually.

 

Otherwise, you could do worse than to sell as a full set of 24 Series 2 sculpts, full sets seem to attract a premium from buyers for some reason.

In my opinion the star of the lot is the green Dragon, which can fetch a good amount depending on how many collectors are after one at any given time.

 

As mentioned above, the four board game figures stand out too. I still need a pine green Behemoth, if you're interested in selling it individually for a reasonable price.

 

The neon purple Baba Yaga is also a fairly difficult to find figure, as is the neon red Invisible Man (the latter is not generally discussed as an uncommon figure but in my experience it doesn't show up often and I'd imagine there's many collectors who still need it). Might be worth also selling those individually .

Hey bud, welcome and thanks for joining my Facebook group just. As already stated, the standouts are the premiums and the green Dragon. I'll only echo what's been said above in terms of how to sell them. Do you happen to have any series 1 display boxes available? I still need 5 more!

I don't have anything to add, but I'd love to have the MIMP Wrestlers poster if you decide to sell it.

Looks like everyone hit all the pertinent information. I am almost finished with my collection and could really use that pink ganesha (Elephant) and series 2 checklist if you would sell them individually.

Hey there, welcome to LRG! :D 

Sure got a lotta neat stuff there bud. It's a shame you don't appear to have any uncommon Super Creepies from the smaller boxed sets though. :confused: 

If only you had just a few of those, I'd definitely be interested in buying.
