For other uses, see Mighty Max ( disambiguation ). Mighty Max The original Mighty Max logo Type Dolls Company Bluebird Toys Country United Kingdom Availability 1992 -- 1996 Mighty Max was a series of toys that were manufactured by Bluebird Toys PLC in the UK in 1992, and designed by Big Monster Toys. The toys were similar to the earlier Polly Pocket toyline ; however, these toys were marketed primarily towards young boys. In Canada and the USA, they were distributed by Irwin Toy Limited and Mattel Inc. respectively. The original toyline consisted mainly of `` Doom Zones '' and `` Horror Heads. '' `` Doom Zones '' were small playsets with a horror theme and featured miniature figurines of menacing creatures and the hero Max, a young boy with blond hair, jeans, a white t - shirt with a red `` M '' on it, and a baseball cap ( the color varied based on the playset purchased ) which also always had an `` M '' on it. The `` Horror Heads '' were smaller - sized playsets, also shaped like the heads of creatures and contained miniature figures. It was later adapted into a TV series, as well as a tie - in video game produced by Ocean Software for the Super NES and Mega Drive / Genesis.

Trouble was, this was no ordinary baseball cap... `` Gotta look the business '' Max thought as he tweaked the cap 's peak round to the side. `` AAAARGH ! '' Suddenly, the world had gone weird and very unfriendly ! The cap had changed colour ! Something very strange was going on ! He 'd been caught in the Horror Zone. Stumbling from one terrifying adventure to another with only cryptic clues to help him escape... he was all alone. He was scared. But he was MIGHTY MAX, and he 'd get back somehow !

Main article : Mighty Max ( TV series ) In 1993, an American animated series was created based on the toys. After the series began to air, the characters Virgil and Norman and toys based on episodes of the series were added to the toyline to form a new series. The story on the packaging was revised accordingly, and a short - lived comic book series by Marvel UK was created as well. The appearance of Max changed considerably ; he was no longer portrayed as a young boy but as a taller adolescent with longer hair and an untucked shirt, similar to his portrayal in the television series. The older Doom Zones, Horror Heads and playsets were re-released with the original story replaced with the revised one : Max was bright and pretty good at getting in and out of trouble, but he 'd never forget the day he broke his Mom 's mysterious old statue and found the Cosmic Cap inside. How was he to know it made him ' the Mighty One ', able to travel instantly from place to place by means of time Portals ? And how were Max, his Cosmic Cap and his two friends and protectors, wise old Virgil and fearless Norman gon na ' measure up against the ultimate evil of the Skull Master ! ! ? Toys This list is incomplete ; you can help by expanding it. Some of the toys featured a short comic on the back of the packaging summarizing Max 's adventure in that zone.

There is talk of a Skull Dungeon and Cyberskull variant as well. The original 6 Doom Zones later came repackaged with a bonus Norman figure, and later issues of the 2nd series Doom Zones came packaged with a Bonus Hairy / Dread Head. Take a look at the packaging variations listing for more info... Recently, package variations featuring 2 doom zones packaged together have appeared. Also discovered were some Mighty Max 3 - packs with multiple Doom Zones and Horror Heads packaged together. Heroes & villains A total of six figure sets were released, each including Max, Norman, Virgil and various villains and monsters. The first three were simply repaints of pre-existing figures that came with recent Doom Zones and Horror Heads as well as from a few of the bigger playsets. The second three, however, were all - new figures done in the style of the cartoon.

They each came with one monster / villain figure and a Max figure unique to that playset. Zombie Commando and Jack Knife Mecha Crawler and Octo - Slime Gorillabat and Ape Warrior Imperial Dragon and Samurai Serpent Phantasm and Dr. Destiny Basilisk and Zilard Beast ( RARE ) Hairy Heads ( also known as Dread Heads ) Hairy Heads were only released on single cardbacks in the UK and Europe ( where they were known as Scalps ). In the US, they were called Dread Heads and released as bonuses with Doom Zones. Hemlock Karbon Anthrax 9 Razorback ( also known as Razor ) Garrotid Eruptus ( also known as Ruptus ) Berserker ( also known as Serker ) Electronic Games Skull Krusher ( also known as CrusherExtremely Rare ) Shrunken Heads The smallest Mighty Max playsets ever, the Shrunken Heads had little play value because of both their tiny size and lack of a detachable monster or villain figure to pit Max against ( the majority of the Shrunken Heads did have an embossed and separately coloured monster as part of the molding on the wall or floor of the open set ). However, the Shrunken Heads did come with a Max figure, and, like the Monster Heads, it was unique to that set. The first eight sets were original, while the remaining eight were based on episodes of the cartoon. The first eight originally came packaged in sets of two but later were released on separate cards by themselves. They were also available as cereal box prizes in some regions.

Challenge # 1 - Battle Conqueror ( also known as Mighty Max Defeats the Conqueror ) Challenge # 2 - Double Demon ( also known as Mighty Max Head to Head With Hydra ) Challenge # 3 - Lava Beast ( also known as Mighty Max Melts Lava Beast ) Challenge # 4 - Pharaoh Phang ( also known as Mighty Max Strikes Fang ) Challenge # 5 - Medi - Evil Mauler ( also known as Mighty Max Shatters Gargoyle ) ( RARE ) Challenge # 6 - Megahert ( also known as Mighty Max Shuts Down Cybot ) ( RARE ) Large - size playsets It should be noted that Mighty Max Defies the Dread Star and Mighty Max Takes On Terror Talons are in fact the same playset, but came boxed differently and with different pieces. For instance, Dread Star featured a total of six alien villains, plus a `` Skelemonster Robot '' and a `` Scavenger Vehicle. '' Terror Talons meanwhile had only five aliens, and no Scavenger Vehicle. Mighty Max Assaults Skull Master was the only playset for a planned `` Mega Heads '' line. A second playset, based on Skull Master 's minion Warmonger, was planned, but never produced despite being featured on a free poster depicting most of the later playsets.

Such toys would often feature a character 's head as the unfolded playset and an environment familiar to the property at hand ( i.e. Batman 's head unfolding to reveal the Batcave ). Galoob 's popular Micro Machines line already bore a similar scale to Mighty Max and created a variety of miniature Star Wars `` head '' playsets ranging in size. Playmates also introduced mini Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles playsets in 1994 and continued producing them the following year.
