I found this site just as i was researching M.U.S.C.L.E. Men on the internet because i just bought over 200 i think at the local swapmeet/fleamarket for 50$.

 

There are several i have also i dont think are muscle, but knock-offs? ive got 2 guys that look lilke muscle but are smaller than the real things.i have one knockoff i think because he is really soft and says hongkong on the back, ive got one thats marked k/s tt, kinda a ripoff? and one guys has the yn on the back thats it and hes multi colored yellow and red, and he looks like one of the real muscle men.

 

In all i got, the where only 18 extras, got those posted on the devil ebay

Great find, I love the bootleg muscle figures and knockoffs especially myself, so I am always looking for those. Basically, everything you described as being suspect, is. Those are all gonna be some kind of bootleg muscle, or a different type of gumball mini figure. I'm sure specifics can be provided when you post pictures!

Was awake enough to post pics of the bootlegs.

 

The first guy looks like one of the muscle men, but way smaller, marked hong kong

Green Sunshine feels like eraser material maybe? not marked.

Odd indian guy marked HongKong. hard plastic feel like muscle.

The 4th guy is marked ks/tt with a B over it a copyright C i think. soft like eraser

Multi colored guy is faintly impressed with a Y and a N, looks like a muscle, flexible but firm.

This is the 4th guy who looks like a muscle, but soft like eraser

The last one really seems like a muscle, feels right ands marked and everything, but hes just a touch smaller than one i compared too.

3rd guy is a Fist of the Northstar bootleg

4th is a Saint Seiya Bootleg

 

Others look to be all types of muscle bootlegs, there were many different releases and series.

That's incredible... One of the many downsides of living out in the middle of nowhere is that a swapmeet is generally always about 400 miles away. It's one of the most irritating factors of life in Idaho. I admit to a great deal of jealousy at you finding so many figures for so little money >:L

Let me know if you plan on selling or trading those bootleg figures; I don't have any of them yet. I wish I could find deals like that out in the real world. In all this time I have found exactly ONE muscle figure at flea markets, garage sales, junk stores, etc.

I had like 50 of these as a kid so i was thrilled when i found the first batch

It was odd, the first saturday this month i found a trick-or-treat pumpkin with 57 in it and i paid 25$ for it.

The next saturday there was a guy with a toy box filled with ninja turtle stuff, i found some figures for the movie "Dune", some "Aliens" Aliens, some knockoff heman, and at the bottom was a ton of these little guys.
I started grabbing them as fast as i could, even kicking several people out who tried to grab some, even kids. Ended up with 149 muscle men the second saturday, All that plus what turned out to be like 50 different monsters in my pocket the guy only charged me 25$

Oh man, two-color Ammonite bootleg... that is sweet.

[plasticfiend]

I don't see the two colored bootlegs very often... I've seen a few.  Anyone know any additional info about dual colored boots?
