Hi GiorgiosI'm getting some offers about them, so i want to clarify some things.
1) I don't mind separeting them.
2) There are 8 rares and 4 supe-rares in there + the rare colors. I didn't take close up pictures of the duplicate rares, to save on space. If anybody needs to see them, i'll take them as well.
3) I haven't made up my mind, how they are going to be sold. Maybe in a private sale, maybe in eBay, maybe in an auction here. I don't know yet.

I discover this topic a little late, but here is my point of view about thoses toys (i'm far to be an expert !)
Those are the Greek version of Exogini / Cosmix. As I know they don't surface very often on ebay, that's what make them so "rare" for italian, american and other non-greek collectors. I imagine, as for the Ninja mites, that the greek production has no rarer scuplt, contrary to french or italian production. It's just the "supply and demand" that makes them very rare everywhere in the world except in greece. Remember that a few years ago, greek Battle Beasts were supposed to be prototypes and so were very rare and expensive !
Anyway, i find the BB bootleg very fun, and this MIMP in fade pink let me think that Greece reserve us any rarities for the next years !!

I can't say for the Ninja Mites scuplts, but the Kinnikuman sculpts are smaller, which points to them using the actual figures to create a duplicate mold, which infers bootlegging. However, it is definitely possible that they were licensed to use the sculpts, but weren't provided with the molds.I don't know if they were producing under licence, or simply bootleging the toys, but i'm guessing the first. The details are too perfect to have created a mold from scratch.

While Exogini figures are fairly good quality and detailed, I think that's more of a testament to the original Kinnikuman Keshi sculpts. Exogini figures are definitely inferior to Kinkeshi and MUSCLE.I don't know if they were producing under licence, or simply bootleging the toys, but i'm guessing the first. The details are too perfect to have created a mold from scratch.

Hi Xag, thank you for your reply!I wouldn't know! I never had a M.U.S.C.L.E. or Kinkeshi figure, so i can't really tell the difference in quality.
The first Series, looks to be made from softer plastic than the second.
The plastic on the second series is very similar to the Battle Beasts. The colors too. Metallic Blue, Silver, Purple, Brown.
They were probably made from the same material.
(I just thought something great! I'd love to see a transparent orange Pirate Lion)

I also found these in the lot, but they don't seem to fit to any Series:
I think i've seen this one in a M.I.M.P lot before, but i'm not sure.
This one looks like a Battle Beasts bootleg or copy or something. It even has the square to put the rub.

Well, this post is coming more than four years since the last and having read the whole thread myself I'm open to the possibility that something may've been lost in translation but I doubt it. My gut tells me that the character who got himself banned was playing fast and loose to score some rare figures on the cheap.

Given that he offered the seller a bid that was one fifth of their true value, I don't think it relies on gut feeling so much as an ability to parse simple English.

The previous poster, Nik62es, implied that he thought a language barrier or some misunderstood humor may've contributed to the confusion. I don't believe that was a factor myself, I suppose Nik might argue that the ability to parse simple English may not be enough in this case, but then again I'm not Nik so who knows. At the end of the day, I personally feel that the enthusiastic collector knew exactly what he was doing.
