Monster in My Pocket is a media franchise developed by American company Morrison Entertainment Group, headed by Joe Morrison and John Weems, two former senior executives at Mattel.
The focus is on monsters and legendary creatures from religion, mythology, literary fantasy, science fiction, cryptids and other . Monster in My Pocket produced trading cards, comic books, books, toys, a board game, a video game, and an animated special, along with music, clothing, kites, stickers, and various other items.
Monster in My Pocket was best known as a toy-line released by Matchbox in 1989. It consists of small, soft plastic figures representing monsters, and later other tangentially related characters.
In its first run, there were 11 series released, the third being the rarest, but the second being a close second. There were over 200 monsters in the collection, most of which were assigned a point value. Among the highest valued monsters were the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Griffin, Great Beast, Behemoth, Hydra, Werewolf (25 points) and among the least being Charon, The Invisible Man, The Witch (5 points). Initially, the high point value was 25, which was elevated to 30 for the second and third series; the fourth, "Super Scary", series introduced the 50-100 point monsters. The third series was not formally released, though portions of it were utilised as promotional items through Shreddies, Bob's Big Boy, Pizza Hut, and Konami. The toys were initially solid-colored, though later series would gradually add more painted colors, until they became fully colored under the auspices of new toy makers Corinthian Marketing and Vivid Imaginations.
