 Pocket Helper
So I see pictures from the new lucky bags, and I love the little Tim Biskup Pocket Helper- Has this only been released in the Lucky BAgs? Is there a chance for future releases of this? I just gotta get one to go inside my clear Tim Biskup Rangeas!
thanks,
Phil

I don't understand the hate or confusion about the Pocket Helper.

Some people somewhere were dismissing it for some reason. I'm curious to see what it looks like in profile. And I wonder if this hints at a larger one to come, similar to Martin's Ojo Rojo which started off at this size.

 Re: Pocket Helper
To me, it's there but I can't muster up enough thoughts or emotions on it to either hate nor love it. I'm just not a Biskup guy though.
But I'm glad to see Gargamel expand their pocket line. With David Ugly, Biskup, Brian (stomp), Max Toy, Bwana and Martin it seems to be their way of expanding western artists into their fold (though we've had Bwana and Biskup colabs before the pocket line ever popped out.)

 Re: Pocket Helper
I certainly don't LOVE it. I have the same problem with the helper that I have with most pocket kaiju cast in clear vinyl; the joint takes away from the overall aesthetic of the piece. I'll have to see it in hand before I make a final judgement though.

I think, THINK, that's it. Super Puncher is the Uglydoll one. Is the Thrashman the Mini one or the Smoking Corp one?

 Re: Pocket Helper
That's the pink GID. I don't know if that one is considered a pocket. They did one in the same size in green this year at SDCC.

 Re: Pocket Helper
I think that blasted pink Thrashman mini-mini is one of the only Thrashmen I need. They also did a "flesh" Thrashman mini-mini right after the green clear. Also, the Rakugaki and "Solid" lines had mini-minis, too.

 Re: Pocket Helper
Mini mini!
Awesome! Looking at the green and the Pink GID they are just a little taller than all the others but they have all the other earmarks of pockets. I'm with Lostinky.

 Re: Pocket Helper
Heh...I think K-T uses "puti" for them. So, are the pendants considered pocket, too? Same sculpt.

I also believe the early LB pocket kaiju had keychain attatchments on them, could be wrong on that, I traded them long ago.

 Re: Pocket Helper
Yeah I know for the smogun and ojo rojo at least they were offered both as pendant and non-pendant versions. I LOVE this series. Impossible to display but they're just perfect.

 Re: Pocket Helper
Super Puncher has been my fave since it came out, but it's always eluded me  I'd love to see extensive pics of the pocket line, the most I've seen together is three in a row of the same color on collectors shelves in the Show Your Collection section.
