Dear MIMP collectors: With this page I created already in the 90s one of the first MIMP pages on the Internet. In 2015 I quit collecting MIMP so this page will now not longer be maintained. I made a final update to some pages and the site will still stay as reference. Happy collecting, Wolfgang (January 2016)

Monster In My Pocket (M.I.M.P.) figures were issued by Matchbox from 1990. These came in different series. Some series were not sold in the stores but were premiums for other products, mainly for cereals or the Nintendo M.I.M.P. Game. Especially the rareness of the Series 3 and the later series M.I.M.P. figures makes collecting M.I.M.P. exciting for collectors.

As far as variations go, there are several Series 1 figures that were issued in exclusive colors with the Board Game or the Monster Clash. Another variation can be distinguished with either the letter A or B under a feet of the figures. Probably this indicates the factory in which the figures were produced. el_EdGaR reported that there are also figures with a C and most likely also with an F. Also Series 4 figures came in two types of plastic, one softer and one harder. The harder ones are more uncommon and so far only confirmed for the non glowing in the dark colors.

Most collectors are looking for the figures, but there is also other collectible M.I.M.P. merchandising. On this page you'll find information about all these products.

Here are the figures series:
