I know its not worth much, but I got another 28 pack today. In my spiffy rainbow of creatures, I noticed one was missing something. The soccerball dude (the one who needs a good arse kicking) is missing hands. Yea I thought oh man, the guy choped em off but after close inspection it looks as though it was molded that way. The hand is rounded off but has that shine that it wasnt cut that way. The other hand however looks as though the hand was cut, but im just currious to know if anyone has anything else like this. My camera is WAYYYY to dark to take a clear pic of this though But if anyone would like pics, I can do it. His feet are the same way tough, so it could be just a lucky cut that makes it look as though it was that way. No matter, just seeing if anyone has anything like that.

That could be the case, but one limb looks like it was the factory, the others could be too but it seems taht the owner was upset and made the dude proportionate. It really doesnt matter though, I still hate the dude regardless, it just stood out. At least his ugly mug is caved in too. He needs a good kicking...

I'll bet that it is a factory production defect. Perhaps not enough plastic was poured into the mold and a deformed figure was the result. I have seen this before too. There was actually someone selling a deformed figure in a bunch of M.U.S.C.L.E.s on ebay and he described the figure as a defect from the factory that was missing half of his legs. He had a pic too and it looked completely legit.

Yup, I think it was a fleshy #90...with no feet!

MISCHA,

I often see that problem too with that fgure. I have seen the excess platic on the bottom of the heal and the smashed down head very often with the figures of this sculpt that I have encountered. Maybe just something to do with the mold I guess.

Hey arforbes
Really Mate thats cool
Because i truly believed that it's mold was suspect to producing defected MUSCLES
i know i only had 3 figures to base my assumption on but no other figures had such
deformities , i value your opinion mate , and i think if we asked around we'd see a definite pattern in this figure.

Maybe we should start a topic on him?

I never had a problem with that figure. All the ones I had of him were perfect. I've had about 3 or 4 deformed # 221, though.

I have a #5 that looks like he got kicked in the nuts. I also had a #208 with his left leg raised, so he wouldn't stand up. I always had to lean him against something.
