I was not so sure about this figure after I studied the pic a few times after it was posted. But now that MISCHA says that it is the second one he has seen, and considering that topic that he posted about this specific sculpt, it may actually be the next Super Rare. But until we can get a close up detailed shot of this guy, I am still a little skeptical, but I hope its a Super Rare!

Open Bidding, Mo Fo's!
That's the best way to judge it, and its similar to Ebay... but you just know how much you've got to overbias your next ante, and you automatically have your bid driven up to the maximum. Since we're all friends here, I'm sure no hard feelings would come of it.
Actually, I'll throw in $10, if all the rest come with it.

Our glorious Milky Way is a tiny, infinitesimal speck of sand in this vast, incomprehensible universe. And somewhere in that Milky Way is our own solar system, less than one billionth of that speck of sand that is the Milky Way. And then there is our planet Earth, one hundred trillionth of that one billionth of that one speck of sand. And on this planet Earth there is DEV-0, an insignificant blemish with a lifespan too short to measure when placed in infinite time.
And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

I'd be down for that. That's actually a good idea. With all the members on this board, we could easily all chip in a little to reward our very appreciated site owner.Maybe we should all put in and just buy the bloody thing for jkaris

No, no. I won't accept it. But thanks for the thought guys.
By the way, if it's open bidding, I'll give you $50 Muscle-Head! (considering that if it is not a real muscle I can return it for a refund)

If this is another "rare"figure, then it would actually add to the logic of super rares I think.
Imagine a large corporation manufacturing small plastic toys. I would doubt that they would make one figure at a time. They probably had some type of sheet that was made, that included 'x' number of figures. Perhaps all of the "rare" figures come from a mold that included the rare figures. But this was the last new sheet, and didn't end up on a poster and only had a small run. Does this make sense?
By the way, isn't that figure Robotube's avatar?

I have a feeling this will open the flood gates to a hole new line of rares.They probably had some type of sheet that was made, that included 'x' number of figures. Perhaps all of the "rare" figures come from a mold that included the rare figures. But this was the last new sheet
If i could ask muscle-HEAD what's the latest offer for the figure?

Yeah, that avatar is #40.
OMG... A new super-rare! I never thought I'd see such a thing occur! And do you all realize how easily this thing could've avoided detection? After all, there's more than a couple of versions of Kenda Man. One glance, and he looks like he's little more than #40 or what have you. Damn, I'm keeping my eyes open for any of these things!

Maybe because when i posted about the rare figure that i had seen it brought it to peoples attention such as muscle-HEAD and in turn they checked there collection ?
maybe just coincidence

Ah, you're absolutely right! That arm is an exact match. Now that you solved that riddle, I am 100% certain that it's fake. This figure would be so simple to make that somebody could literally do it in 5 minutes. Hm...I have to say im pretty skeptical, looks to me like that left arm came from #171.
But... uh... actually it's not fake because coincidentally I just discovered that I have one, too! And I'll undercut the price and offer mine for only $100! Unfortunately, I don't have a big scan of it, so you won't be able to really verify whether or not it's a legit MUSCLE until AFTER I have your money. Let the bidding begin!

Uh...um...I've got one too.
I'll sell mine for $25, but I've got the same problem. I can't take a picture of it. But you'll be able to see it when you get it.

Marty, I'm sorry to say it, but I feel you just got ripped.
it really looks like a # 186 (right arm, 'clothing', posture, ab muscles, etc) with his left arm cut off and replaced by a # 171 or maybe even a # 209. The head looks almost like the head from a # 230 (since it's kinda smaller than the other Kendaman figs' and the balloon guy's head) cut off of a 230 and put on the spike of the 186, thus explaining that raised up look.
Just my opinion

While I was kidding around before, I hope that the figure is real. That's quite a bit of money for one MUSCLE. But I understand, I'm a SW collector. 
I really think it would make sense that there are more "Super Rares" out there.

Marty,
You should post pics of this "Super Rare" hen you receive it. I am "Super" curious to see if it is the real deal.

Well guys!
The moment of truth is hear! I received it in the mail today and it is 100% legit!!!
It is not a kit bash or a custom! I should know since I have kitbashed and customized for years!!! It is the 4th super rare!!! I spent a pretty penny for it, however after I make a mold of him, everyone can own one!!!
I am currently in the process of cleaning up Johnny's ridiculous order of 18 sets of Satan Cross 2pcs. so I won't be able to post photos until tonight!!!
It is so cool! It is made of the same G1 USA flesh plastic, same smell, and most of all it has the correct markings on his back!!!
I am glad that Phil and Alex didn't get this one to add to their super rares (yet), those greedy bastitchs!!! He! He! He! Just kiddin'!
Sorry Johnny you have too many muscles, kinnikuman, and kennishi figures, so you don't deserve to own it!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Just kiddin'!
Seriously after I mold it, the first person who wants the original for what I paid, can buy it! I am a SW and BB collector first, muscles aren't that important to me, especially something so rare!!!
So the first person who expresses interest in owning it after I mold it, can buy it for their collection! I don't want to profit off it, only make copies for the masses who can't afford one!
