Beautiful! Should someone contact the seller and implore him/her not to end it early?

Hmmm, there are some bootlegs mixed into that lot, but that DE looks legit from that pic.

Nope, but I don't like to have more than one Auction Watch per week. Plus I figured I would easily be doing a re-cap.Veers- u miss this one? we need an auction watch recap at least!
And don't worry, he won't end it early.

How do you know that? Wow, I am getting old. I actually saw this auction last night. Thought it was odd he was selling the card backings and moved on. I didnt even notice the SR hahaha. I suck. Guess thats what happens when you leave the hobby for years at a time.

The auction has been updated with pictures of the figure front and back, and I've asked for a more up close picture of the back.

This will be the 3rd known, AF has both the other two, so whoever buys it will be the only LRG collector to own one.

3 already exist. More like a common SR. Just like BHS or a SHA. Or a rare.

I'm tempted to put some money down on this but the pictures aren't the best -- what if it turns out to be a bootleg?

Ask him for more pictures. The guy knows it's worth now, so I am sure he will be more than happy to take multiple top notch photos.I'm tempted to put some money down on this but the pictures aren't the best -- what if it turns out to be a bootleg?

Other than perhaps the Magnificent Eleven I believe every super rare has multiple sculpts out there. Dark Emperor is still a more premier showpiece than a BHS or SHA.

Technically, if it turned out to be a bootleg you could get a refund from Paypal, as the listing says they are Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E.s, so if it turned out to be a boot or a Japanese kin, it would be an item significantly not as described case or a substituting lower valued copy case or however that one is worded (even if the seller wasn't aware). Either way, based on the way it is listed you would be covered I believe.

Muscles from the U.S. are made of a harder type of plastic/rubber. While the kinnikuman or kinkeshi figures from Japan are made of a softer more flexible rubber. They can be tricky sometimes to tell the difference from just a picture. So its always worth asking to save you some money and possible disappointment.
