Mini Pocket Beasts / Monsters / Mighty Max Ko's ??

[scottishtoys]

Hi guys, I've found a box of these Mini Pocket Beasts. They were from same old shop stock that I found the Sungold Monsters in, Gladiators MOTU KO's and Super Dino Monster stuff!



There are 4 mini heads to collect in the set, so if you buy two packs you get all 4 heads to make a full set. (see all the pics below of front and packs of items etc)


Any info on them?? I've never seen them before, they are early 90's they scream Mighty Max Ko's to me. The artwork is amazing!

Yeah, I actually opened two sets to see inside them at the different figures! I have a few sets, so will add them to my for sale bit in the forum. Thanks

It sounds as though your source was a veritable goldmine -- awash with a number of toys which are both rare and desirable.

These "Mini Pocket Beasts" are definitely Mighty Max knockoffs; no doubt about it.  I'd never heard of this toy-line before, which is surprising since I specialize in mini-monster figures.  It's especially difficult to find monster figures that small -- they look about 0.50-0.75 inch in height, well below the 1.75 inches which is average for mini-figures.  Also, the types of monsters are very unique (as opposed to the yawn-inducingly common types of monsters such as werewolves, vampires, Frankenstein's monster, skeletons, ad nauseum).

I agree that the artwork is excellent -- way above average.  This was a wonderful find for more than one reason!
