I posted this here a few years ago, but no one at the time could help me with any more information.

I have this sculpt of The Mountain that confuses me. In nearly all ways, he appears to be a near exact copy of the 2 inch keshi version, though he is slightly smaller, and glows in the dark.

The sculpt itself is very good quality, with minimal flashing, and a clearly visible trademark identical to it's Keshi and M.U.S.C.L.E. counterpart, though it may be hard to see in these pics:

So, anyone have any idea if this guy is a bootleg or legit? And if he is legit, any idea which exact kinkeshi line he came from?
I have never seen any others with these characteristics.

Looks like a custom to me. Alteriormotive creates the glow in the dark figs perfectly, but I don't know if he was doing it 2 yrs ago or not.

I got this figure in 2002, so it is at least eight years old.
The lot it in came from, which was a mix of M.U.S.C.L.E. and Kinkeshi, had allegedly been gathering dust for about ten years prior to that.

I say that little guy is a ligit kinkeshi. It does have the trademark. He has to be in the chibi line.
