Post 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

This is the first release ever for the pocket helper. I sure hope more get released.

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.

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.)

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.

Can someone name all the Pockets?

Super Puncher is the Uglydoll one.
Is the Thrashman the Mini one or the Smoking Corp one?

I'm not sure, I know it was the clear pink w/gid mold inside from SDCC 07 that was given away if you bought all of the pockets and collected tickets or something like that.

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.

I have both the thrashman and a smoking corp pocket kaiju. You have to consider them pocket kaiju as both have mini sculpts already.

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.

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.

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

The first thrashmen I recieved were the pendants from Gargamel at comiccon 06. I also believe the early LB pocket kaiju had keychain attatchments on them, could be wrong on that, I traded them long ago.

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.

Super Puncher has been my fave since it came out, but it's always eluded me :x 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.
