Hey everyone,
I was fortunate to pick up a complete NES Monster in my Pocket.  It came out to $67 with shipping and inside was a pink Blemmyea monster.  How much is the monster these days?  And did I get a pretty good deal?

2 years ago, a #81 Blemmyea sold on ebay for $100

This is another one of those NTSC oddities that I just have no data on...

-------------------------

Got any of these for sale? Sell them to me. I also buy other NES Publisher inserts, and even GB/GBC, and SNES inserts too.

You got a great deal.
I could be wrong, but that figure only came with the game, so it appeals to both NES completionists and Monster in my pocket collectors.

I thought someone on here had a bounty in the $200's for it ?

It is one of those things that is not found very often, and less frequently for sale.

You know, after doing some quick research I think I solved some questions I had surrounding this.
 
Apparently there's 4 variants of this guy. Lime-Green, Orange, Pink, Blue.

Yeah, there is 4 variants and I believe there is a difference in rarity between the colors.

I sold a bunch of series three MIMP figures awhile back. I think Jimmy Square foot sold for $130, all the others went for between $80 and $100. Blemmyea is the only monster from the series that was distributed by Nintendo and not Nabisco. Series 3 are considered to be the more rare and limited MIMP's.
There's some facts for ya Joseph.

Now were all 4 of those colors available only in NES boxes?
I thought only one color was the exclusive color included with NES games and the others were released elsewhere.

From my link a above

Blemmyae is monster number 81, and is considered part of Series 3. The figure was only available as a premium freebie packaged with the Konami Video Game. It was available in all four standard Series 3 colours (neon green, orange, pink and blue), and had a points value of twenty-five.

I've been looking everywhere for a CIB with the figure!

Nice work.

Neat piece.
