Going for flesh set. I'm new here..but my muscle collecting started with the freebie inside the Nestlé quick canisters. Still got that first one, and it faintly smelled of chocolate powder for years.

Thanks again Jesse! I now have 1,083/1,528 MUSCLE Matttel figures for a Master Set

 

Barely starting to display these after having them in storage for a bit but not all of them fit:

Funny thing is, even after 30 plus years, I still cannot find any sense in collecting the colored figures!

Old school stubborn perhaps! I identify the master set as the original pinkish figures!

Welcome, Julius. You should be able to piece together the majority of a flesh set from folks on here with relative ease.

 

How far along are you?

 

Also, tracking page is now up to date.

[Strontium Dog]

It's great seeing how far along everyone is. I haven't acquired any MUSCLE for years but at the last count I was on 754, although that is without putting any real effort in. I am still about 10 short of the flesh 236.

[zero]

Revised count is 1150 thanks to some great help!

[OneTallPonderosa]

Thanks everyone for sharing! 
 

We are up to date again.

 

Now we just need a few more master set collectors to chime in and we could break 20k figures tallied!

I think I'm about 22 short of the set. As for total muscles in my collection, probably 300 or so. I give my boy most of the duplicates I get, so he's hooked, lol.

Cool, I have added you into the tracking page!  Good luck on those last 22, I think you could get most of them in short order on here, with the exception of Satan Cross.

 

Tracking page is up to date!

Just an update - I'm now up to 1,138/1,528.

[CaffeineSanta]

If we're counting 236+ club, I also have  SHA, BHS, and a Dr Bonbe SR

You surely have a ton of figures for a Master Set or above the 500 mark? What is your final tally?

 

I mean, I remember that awesome MUSCLE filled fishtank picture!

[CaffeineSanta]

Oh man, I’m nowhere near a master set. I have only a handful of class a figures, and I only have those because I don’t feel like digging them out of the masses
I just picked up a couple hundred from Sydot, and about 1500 from another source, so I’ll have to update you sometime next week on an estimated tally. Probably something like 15k figures.

[OneTallPonderosa]

Pedro, your display looks great. And you are making serious progress lately!

[kayfabe1985]

Not a huge update but I bumped up my tally by three

 

1,115/1,528 MUSCLE Matttel figures for a Master Set

I recently got to 235 different in a mix of flesh and colors, many in both flesh and a color, and have 9 of the boardgame figs.  No SC except for 29th Anniv reissue Kinnikuman.

222 of 236 flesh MUSCLE

190 of 234 any color MUSCLE (have 26 color vintage or resissue keshi of missing 44)

 

Of 112 that make up the 28-packs (though I only have one of those boxes)....

Of those 112:  108 flesh Muscle,  108 color (101 muscle, 4 vintage kinkeshi, 3 reissue keshi).

 

Counting Muscle and reissues, think I have 334 & 1 half of the 418 Kinnikuman (but 13 are double figure combos, doing moves) + roughly 63 others (of which 16 are double figure combos).  Two part single figures I'm always counting as singles.   14 of those 63 are popy or maybe a few of those are knockoffs.  So really 397+ or 427+ total (not counting any Ultimate Muscle or Super 7 or 15 Chibi)

 

Among those I think I have 336.5 of the 477.

 

Keeping it to just M.U.S.C.L.E., I guess some goals would be:

Get SC for a reasonable deal (I totally passed on an auction of $47 or 44)

  and see how well reissue figure parts connect to him.

Get 1 missing boardgame fig, just grape Kinnikuman that people want to gouge for.

Get some better ones.  Little damage, too much flashing, warping, etc.

Get the 112 of those 28 packs in both flesh and color.  (Just getting those 112 was a stepping stone goal on way to 235)

Get the 236 all in flesh

Reacquire a couple more figures in certain colors I traded away as a kid.

Just get some figs in certain colors.

A 234 color set (everything in a nonflesh) and 233 color without including boardgame.

 

I have not a single class A, heh.

[italianmuscle]

hi guys, I'm a collector from Italy, actually my collection is  1371 / 1528

missing 27 class B, and a lot of As

hope to find something here

[Sydot]

I could be more active in collecting but I guess I'll start participating here.

Last count I was 1271/1528, I got more since then and I need to recount so I'm closer to 1300 now

[OneTallPonderosa]

Welcome, italianmuscle!  That is quite a collection you have.

 

I have updated the tracking page!

[italianmuscle]

for me it's even more an impossible mission to complete a full set outside the states  ...I might have one of the greatest muscle collection here in Europe.  I have also to thanks my friend cloning007 for a big help he gave me... now if anyone could help me to finish at least B class figures, I'm down to 23 pieces, I can share my missing list. 

[OneTallPonderosa]

If you post the list of figures you need in the Need Toys? section, you might get some help on a few of those Class Bs.

[Rycci21]

Bought my Satan's Cross today so I now have a complete flesh set when everything arrives in the mail. Slowly starting a green and purple set as I made a small dent in the class A's. 8 separate shipments arriving this week I went a little nuts.
