Most collectors of MIMP know that there are 2 different types of Series 3. One type was released in the US at Big Boys Restaurants, the other was released in Shreddies cereal in Canada. This post is specifically targeted at the difference in Big Boys Green and Shreddies Green. First a couple of pictures:
The top picture is the Shreddies green, and the bottom picture is a Big Boys green. Beyond the specific difference of Centaur (bangles on the BB), the shade of green is lighter for Big Boys Series 3.
Orobas was only released in the Shreddies promotion and Blemmyae was only released with the NES game. Centaur has bangles with the Big Boy figures. As far I can tell the slight color difference is the only way to tell the difference between the other Series 3 figures that were released in both promotions.
