What is the quality of these figures? I think I recall it being mentioned that they are not great. I'm not super picky but I also don't want a box of trash.

 

Are all MUSCLE sculpts included in the 418? 

 

Any of you that have it, is it worth the money?

They are certainly not the same quality of the old keshi, but they are still good. If you can get a set for less than $300, I think that is a good value.

All M.U.S.C.L.E. sculpts plus the rest of the Kinnikuman sculpts from Parts 1-30.

Buying all the originals would cost you thousands in the long run.

EDIT:
Here is one, $320 shipped.

I'd say it's well worth it. I'm sure most of the one up for sale are still in their original plastic. Meaning you get re-issues of all 418 Kinnikuman in mint condition. The only thing that threw me off when I first saw them was the China stamp on the backs of the figures. Which I quickly looked passed. 

 

If you're looking to buy and have the money, then I say go for it. I don't regret buying mine that's for sure.

I'm considering liquidating most of my MUSCLE like keshi. So many colors and disjointed collections. This would be so nice and clean to have a full set.

I've considered buying a box in the past, but shipping to the UK killed it. I found a guy on IG who bought a box whilst in Japan and nearly bought it from him, but he was asking way too much, especially when he'd forgotten he'd already told me how much he paid for it when in Japan.

As always the shipping kills it

I have had 2 of them, and sold them both after about a few months of sittin there. Most of them don't stand up. And it's way too many figures of the same color sittin in a box! It would be cool if they had mixed color sets in those boxes. And really, the only reason I bought them was for the non muscle sculpts (bhs, sha, etc etc......)
I like the box, better than the figures!

Hmm, Not standing up is a bummer, but I think I would stick them all down with something as a display set. I typically buy 'flesh' sets of thinks like OMFG, Suckle, MWOTR, etc

 

Was thinking it would look nice in the large display of 'Flesh' figs I am planning. I'm not too concerned with the fact that they are a different flesh tone that other series.
