How did you get into it?
In th early 90's, I loved anything that was big, bright colours and monsters of ny sort. So, MIMP was a complete sell to one such as I.

What's your favourite media / toy / item from it?
Tengu, in purple. Tengu in the comic some how stayed in my mind with his odd speech pattern and funky design. Since then, Tengu has always been my favorite,

What's the weirdest part?
The monsters as time went on got odder and odder. However, the comic / annual (written by Dwayne McDuffie) is a wierd concept, with the monsters being shrunk down and living in a kids bedroom. Yep.
