MONSTER IN MY POCKET

             Monster In My Pocket began in 1990 by Matchbox. Monsters In My Pocket are little, rubber figures of monsters. At the beginning of its first run, there were eleven series, one and two being the most popular but three was the rarest. Each figure was assigned a point value. Series one was five through twenty five points. Series two was five through thirty and so on. Even though they are called MONSTERS In My Pocket, some figures were spiritual like The Great Beast was a spawn of Satan or Kali, the Indian god. Eventually, they were considered controversial in the United Kingdom. After the figures, other merchandise was made like video games but that's a story for another time. Matchbox was bought by Mattel and Monsters In My Pocket were discontinued. Monsters In My Pocket can still be purchased at ebay.
