Based on what figures we have seen as Super Rares, one can assume that the following figures were also made as Super Rares because they are part of the same series...

We have already seen Satancross, Spinning Head Ashuraman, and Blackhole Sunshine...



In the same series, Part 21, as these the three above Super Rares that we have not seen are...



We have also found Drunken Master, who is in another series, Part 15...



Assuming they also made the rest that we haven't seen yet from Part 15, the following figures may exist as Super Rares too...



The following images were found from http://ulala69.hp.in...standardtop.htm

We have yet to find a total of 5 remaining Super Rares, assuming that more Parts were not made as M.U.S.C.L.E.s. It is very possible that other Parts were created as M.U.S.C.L.E.s too though, which would leave even more Super Rares out there waiting to be found.

Excellent breakdown, Alex.

Excellent breakdown, Alex.

Thanks AmoiMan! I may be proven wrong by the surfacing of yet another Super Rare in the future, or tricked into thinking there is another Super Rare without a Kinnikuman counterpart by very members of this board!

Jusk kiddin' guys, that was funny as hell.

ALEX,
you have the "Super-Rare" diesease!

Kinda like Herpes in more than one way (definitely incureable, you just have to treat it)!

Symptoms are: drooling, pink fleshie sores on your finger tips from typing posts about "Super Rares," blood shot eyes from sleepless nights dreaming about more super rares (or my custom gitd figures you have), and heart murmers from getting all excited about fake super rares! he! he! he!

You poor victim!

Super Rares are my life-blood, my soul, what keep me going.

I have completed my collection so I have nothing else to look for but the figures that I don't have. I guess that includes colored M.U.S.C.L.E.s too. I am also just intrigued by the fact that they were made and no one can explain why or how many more exist.

I am also just intrigued by the fact that they were made and no one can explain why or how many more exist.

I also marvel at this fact , and i think we all know that from time to time they will show up and make us all go a little crazy.

thats why i was worried about you alex with the missing link , i didn't want to do any permanent damage to you. or like johnny said offend anyone.

this thread (to me) just serves to confirm a lot of my thoughts about why super-rares are popular.

to sort of sum up my feeling on the whole topic of super-rare popularity, i paraphrase dave foley from the promo clip for the "kids in the hall" ppv they had a while back:

"oh, sure i like 'em, but if only there was some way i could be sure that there weren't poor people enjoying it, too... maybe if i could pay for it... that'd be right up my monied alley..."

"oh, sure i like 'em, but if only there was some way i could be sure that there weren't poor people enjoying it, too... maybe if i could pay for it... that'd be right up my monied alley..."

Dude, it has nothing to do with how much it costs. It has everything to do with owning something unique or ultra rare.

[ToyMan]

only because you know that other people want it, and they can't.

if you wanted ultra-rare items, you could just make entirely original ones yourself.

again, the only "super-rare" i want is BHS, and that's just because he looks cool. the rest of 'em look like pud to me.

that's why this thread didn't interest me at all, up until this point. i figured that even if the figure was authentic, it still looked mad boring.

sorry, i'm just calling this like i see it.

I have to say, I have not been reading all posts because time has been strictly limited lately. This is the first time reading this post. I must say that was effing funny guys. I was not shocked at all that all the "secret" bidding started early in the joke. What made this even funnier, and I do not know if Mischa was even involved or if his post about the possible rare is what started it all. Unlike the DM, SHA, BHS this guys looks sort of cheezy, I suppose I would have dumped some cash into it to own a super rare, but I would not have been as proud of him than the others. I think the joke impacted Alex the most because he is indeed a super rare freak hahahaha. Funny guys, real effing funny hahaha. I hate you. Just teasing.

[ToyMan]

1. Are you upset that people want an authentic MUSCLE that, so far, appears to be rare?
2. Are you upset that rare figures cost more?
3. Are you upset that you don’t like the sculpts of the rares?
4. Are you upset people are willing to spend a lot of money to own a rare?

1. no. i just don't think people are honest with themselves about why they want super-rares.
2. no.
3. no. refer to 1.
4. yes.

I like SHA, BHS and drunkin master, but not because they are rare but with the first two its the articulation and the last is cuz it stands on his head. If the others pictured are super rares about half of them I wouldnt like. I personally just like the poses. The drunkin master not that much, but its better than alot of other ones. But thats just what I see. Your also talking to someone whos favorite muscle is an obsure one though. (the grape mega match game person I am mising) I have him in flesh and green and really dig that pose, but thats another topic all in itself.

I'm just a Super Rare freak who goes crazy whenever anything remotely related to Super Rares pops up. Don't worry, no offense taken. I thought it was funny as hell, and I was relieved that I didn't have to spend $250 on one figure! Whew!!!

[ToyMan]

Drunken Master is so cool. What other MUSCLE stands perfectly on his head??

both "personalman", and that "cubeman" dude can.
