I have been among many MIMP collectors that enjoy the Cromy MIMP series. I never knew much about them and they smell like fish-bait, but they are really cool figures in several translucent colors in addition to more typical Black, Orange, Red and Yellow colors.
I have been searching for an answer to what a different Argentina figure was and instead was told that what has been called Cromy MIMP, are not MIMP at all!
This is not terribly surprising considering the mystery of their origins, but the commenter also provided proof.

This is a sealed box of the candies that the monsters were sold from. It translates to Halloween Coffin Surprise and you can see the Bat on the cover.
I was planning on delaying the next blog post until next week (in hopes of getting a weekly discussion pattern), I felt this needed to be addressed immediately. I am going to update the Cromy section immediately.
For now I plan to leave the section on this site, despite not being MIMP. The reasons are two-fold.
First, many people have collected these as MIMP and will probably look for them on a MIMP site. Secondly, there are few English sites that even mention these figures, so I think it is best to leave it here for now. I may eventually make a small site just for them.
Huge thanks to Gianluca Spinoso for the picture and information about the monsters.
