Thanks for following my blog. :) I'm not familiar with the Konami video game, although I'm starting to think I missed a lot of things! <br /><br />Ha, yeah everything is more epic as a kid. It is hard to believe that only one episode of this was made. Especially since there's so much merchandise out there! Since new figures are being manufactured, I wonder if there will also be a new re-worked cartoon series?Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-86405283461543400122011-08-10T23:05:09.604-05:002011-08-10T23:05:09.604-05:00I remember the toys from when I was a kid.

There's a toy company in Britain that is working on bringing Monster in My Pocket back with a series of new, and more detailed, figures. <br /><br />I do remember the cartoon show as well. I could have swore it ran longer than on episode. Then again, everything was epic when we were kids.Mr. Joyce https://www.blogger.com/profile/08491211786281333453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-54609132643625008942011-08-07T20:45:48.181-05:002011-08-07T20:45:48.181-05:00Hey Brian!

I just googled Redcap, and it turns out he's actually a part of Scottish lore! If you google images with the terms "Redcap Scotland" you'll see all sorts of creepy little goblins. <br /><br />Thanks for checking out my Halloween Forum page! :) I'm glad you liked the photos I have up. I'll have to add a few more. Yeah, definitely let me know once you have a profile there. <br /><br />I would love to see an Emily the Strange Ouija board! I agree that it would make an awesome addition to the blog entry. Yes, please check with her! It's amazing to me that so few of my blog buddies have had a Ouija board.

Although a character who is described as "shedding her skin" isn't going to look too hot. :) <br /><br />Yeah, Ouija boards open up some possibilities. Whether you think it is a spirit or one of the people controlling the planchette, it always seems like something happens. Everyone who has a Ouija Board seems to have a story to go with it.

"The Scream" was the first thing I thought of when I saw that. I guess the main difference between the two is the Ghost is removing its head...<br /><br />Dr. Blood ~ No way did they manufacture Freddy Krueger toys for three year olds! That's insane. Not like a kid that little would even know what that toy was supposed to be. (hopefully) Yeah, I read some things about the Monster in my Pocket characters being controversial. I'm not sure why, except some cultures might have been offended that characters in their myths were portrayed as "monsters". Other than that guess, I'm not sure where the controversy would come in.<br /><br />L ~ Oh, I remember the little ninjas in gum machines! There were always some little characters being sold in those. You won't believe this, but years back they were selling "little homies" figures in gum ball machines around here! I haven't seen a gumball machine selling anything but gum for the longest time. Did you keep any of the gumball toys from your childhood? <br /><br />Dinosaurs Attack...Hmm, another thing that isn't ringing a bell. I just googled those cards, and wow. Those dinosaurs were surprisingly lethal looking! I kind of can't believe some of the drawings I'm seeing here. This stuff is gruesome! I wonder if kids still collect and trade cards like this? <br /><br />It sounds like you had some nice nieghbors! Ah, yes The Goosebumps books. Good times. :) Yes, generousity is an important thing to learn about. It's good for the giver too!<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed this post! Yeah, I had lots of fun arranging the cards and taking photos of them.<br /><br />Jeanne ~ Yes, these were an errily fun prize! It's always fun to not know exactly what you're getting in the mail. :) <br /><br />I've already learned a lot in the process of getting the Ouija Board post together. There's quite a bit I didn't know about the "game". <br /><br />Adsila ~ Thanks! Yeah, it was all new to me too.

When the trading cards hit the scene I use to get free packs with my 7-eleven slurpees, I believe that's how the rest of us MIMP fans got them too. For some reason these cards were so important to me as a kid and so hold a lot of value to me now as an "adult." I'm also a huge fan of the Dinosaurs Attack cards as well and have a full deck of it. I didn't grow up getting much of what I wanted, but both my neighbors on either side of me would give me things. One neighbor gave me Goosebump books and the other one Dinosaurs Attack cards. It taught me a lot about the gift of giving! hehe I'm glad you enjoyed the cards, it was a great post and even better pictures!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-35991841716521809012011-07-28T00:33:03.861-05:002011-07-28T00:33:03.861-05:00I'm sure that "Monsters in my Pocket"...I'm sure that "Monsters in my Pocket" were popular in the 1990s in England though I think I remember seeing the little rubber figures in Woolworths in the 2000s.
