Will probably be makeing a trip to the local target shortly.
Wonder how many figures will be from chars we haven't even seen yet on the show. I noticed a couple in the pics that were posted.

Yeah, the clear figures are really cool. But I would have only bought a few of them if I had known the future assortments would have the same molds. Also, that makes the new figures seem repetitive, since I already have the CCG versions.I agree Tortle, but CLEAR RED AND BLUE MUSCLES STILL RULE!
Hm... I wonder if Bandai is running out of molds for the figures, and that's why it's resorting to putting the CCG figs in the new assortments, and rereleasing some of the old sculpts.

It does seem as if Bandai did not make that many different molds since we are going to be seeing many duplicate figures. I guess they are relying on people wanting several different colors of the same mold rather than different molds but fewer colors per mold.

I looked... and they were all (1)(2)(3)(4) in a row, three rows deep. Just like I left them... three months ago.
However,it does seem that they sold most of the packs for some odd reason, and got another half-case. Unfortunatly, that half-case was entirly red, as I found out via making half of them non-mint packages.
And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

There is only one Meijer in Monroe, it's on Telegraph and easy to find. Incidentally, I work at the Meijer in Woodhaven, but have been off since Somnus got his two packs, so I don't know if we have them yet. I can let everyone know on friday morning.Sweet! I live in north Toledo, about 30 minutes from Monroe, MI. Assuming there aren't more than a few meijer up there, I'm gonna have to pick up those figures this week!! I'll get some scans posted as soon as i do
By the way, the DMP Kevin mask still rocks!

yeah, there is kid muscle doing the inverted kinnikubuster! in fact, i was excited... there seemed to be more fleshies (blocken jr!) in this assortment, and there was only one 'true double'... kid muscle doing the inverted kinnikubuster.
but they did jade more justice this time...
the cards that came with it were from the first series though...
i'm interested in seeing how the next card set's figures go, next time around...
(and there were none of the painted legends figures, they had on the commercial... i think those, if released will be done separate.)

but i don't see them NOT releasing it, if they went through the trouble of setting all of those figures up for a commercial. especially when they had the next set waiting in the wings...

Not to sound like a party pooper, but where are all the weird wrestlers like the soccer ball guy and the urn? I think I was right when I said there weren't enough characters to keep the line going... at least not without five versions of each figure, and duplicate posed sets (what's up with that?).
It's kind of a bummer when there are six unwanted figures for each series I buy (the posed sets and the color figures). Other people may complain about all the Kid Muscles, but I feel just the same about the color figures being duplicates of solids, and of all the Jades and Kevin Masks. Sure, the old series had a million King Muscle poses, but for every one of those there were a handful of "Unusual Creatures" lurking right behind.
I'm getting the rest of the first wave tomorrow, but at the moment, my favorite is (ironically) Terryman... because it's too funny to see this normal guy in amongst all these aliens trying to look cool by flexing his muscles. And he IS cool, because of that detailed hair sculpt... unlike Jade who has to wear a bicycle helmet.

Actually, that reminds me of something I was thinking about... Looking at the G2 figure sculpts, you can see that they're very detailed. If you put them next to vintage MUSCLEs, the advancement of the sculpting detail is obvious (especially with a figure like Kevin Mask). Now, if/when they rerelease Kinkeshi along with the new line, aren't the Kinkeshi figures going to look like they're out of place with the G2 figures? Especially since they have different proportions!I am quite impreseed with the new G2 figure sculpts.
Anyway, just some thoughts...

Now what I wanna know is whether they changed the back of the Ultimate Muscle packages for the new wave or are they still releasing "all 60" of the 39 characters pictured???

I'm thinking this stuff IS supposed to be out in a month or two. But that doesn't stop certain stores from selling them early. I guess you could blame Bandai for shipping early. I doubt most of us will get a chance at the new waves till the middle of next month at the earliest. Remember how long it was between mass findings and the first Ultimate Muscle sighting. When you guys rushed out late last year, none of you found anything!why couldn't the new 6.5" be put out in a month or two arg.
