When I am down in the archives, I occasionally come across items I don't even remember owning. Take my last excursion for example. I was looking through a box of miscellaneous figures and came across a few colourful plastic creatures in an old After Eight box. I may have mistaken them for M.U.S.C.L.E.'s - of which I have many - if there wasn't an accompanying pamphlet identifying them as Monster In My Pocket.
Apparently, this was a toy line created in 1990 by two guys, after they left Mattel. Like Battle Beasts, they had a collectible hook for when you pit them against each other. As you can see above, each monster was designated a point value. I don't know how they decided a Werewolf was more powerful than a Kraken, but whatever. Anyhoo, here are some shots of the eleven figures I found in ye olde crawlspace.
Winged Panther.
Invisible Man aka The Handicapped SCUBA diver.
Witch. This one weighs less than a duck.

Red Cap. Probably not as tasty as the beer.
Ghoul.
Gremlin. Spielberg lied to us.
Vampire.
Vampiress.
Haniver. Yeah, I've never heard of it either.
Release the Kraken!
Great Beast.

MONSTER IN MY POCKET!!!!!!!
I loved these little guys!! I too would have thought they were M.U.S.C.L.E. figs. I only had a couple of these. Looks like you had some great ones.
