Hi it's me..........The Dad............This car never went into production because of the flaws it has..........The tampo machine had to be alligned perfect to obtain the desired results.........They must have had problems right from the start with the small letters......If you want I can try and get pictures of the two others I know of and some more info from the person who made them for mattel ( he worked in the design dept ).Thanks for all your kind comments............I know Corey will enjoy one day having it next to his amazing collection of M.U.S.C.LE. figures............HJ

Cool, I would love more pictures and info from the Mattel guy. You or he wouldn't happen to know someone who worked on the M.U.S.C.L.E. toyline specifically, would you? ^_^

I don't think there were only five made. I have four of them myself, and Stepback didn't seem to limit the numbers produced.

Haha, I was just joking about that, I should have put a

smiley in there so you guys didnt really think i was bragging about my t-shirt

Anyway, Its awesome to hear from you Hydraulic Jack, really cool of you to get that piece of MUSCLE memoribilia, its pretty cool that it has a place in both your collection's; hotwheel and muscle.

Does that guy that worked for mattel have anyway to find out more for us about the super rares and why they made some figures in a lot of one color but not another, etc? Inquiring minds want to know ^_^

Anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you, Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew - LZ

I can smell the envy accross this thread. (some of it's mine) Congrats on obtaining one of the "Holy Grails" of M.U.S.C.L.E. Collecting!
Oh yeah, those shirts were made by stepback like Nate said. I have a couple of them that I only break out on special occasions :fop:
