This must have been asked and answered elsewhere but what's the story with the gift boxes that come with some of these?

The box first appeared with that version of the mini Matango.

It was supposed to be a Tiffany's colored version, so I guess the giftbox was supposed to add to that effect.

It's useless and almost doubles he price of the mini Matangos. Plus, it makes even less sense in the other colors that have come out.

I hate the box but love the mini Matangos!

That's great! saw one of these for sale a while back but never so close up. Love it!
So is it a Matango figure or just an unrelated random crazy mushroom based man?

Ian I think he's the latter, just an unrelated random crazy mushroom based man....

Despite my shroom tendencies I wasn't that sold on the original Mushroom Soup Man by Yamomark. I like the concept, and I think Yamomark was doing interesting designs, but the paint job didn't do anything for me. Then the Pop Soda guys got a hold of a clear version....END result: SOLD!

BTW if you're one for detail... this is the one for you. The detail of the shrooms, and the little slug on the back is great.

...and you've just lined yourself up to take a photo of the 'backslug' as I need to see it now !!!

Not familiar with this one at all so off to look up the original now...
