Hey all,

So I got this little guy with a set I recently acquired and the seller couldn't remember what it was or where it was from. They hypothesized that it might be an early musclethings custom but he really wasn't sure. So who knows?

What do you guys think... It's kinda soft, and shinier that muscle rubber.

Any ideas what it is? If it holds any particular value etc?

Thank you in advance.

PF!

Whatever it is I like it

hmm, Might be a Muscle things fig. He was producing figs for awhile that were created by another member here. Cant remember who though.

Oh and no lettering or anything on the back. You know what it reminds me a little bit of... If someone was doing mash-ups similar to what Sithwizard has shared with us in the past? But then they took the mash-up and made a mold and cast it up.

IN FACT!

I think I can identify the parts used if it was a mash-up...

#12 Oil Man body

#38 Tile Man head

#81 Amelman waist and legs

I can't figure out the arms... Or the pointy things oh his head.

A better pic so you can see more detail.

yeah the figures the guy was making were all Kitbashes.

[plasticfiend]

Eric,

I've never heard the term before. Kitbashes? Is that the technical term for what I'm calling "mash-ups", like among casters and toy makers?

PF

[Ericnilla]

yeah a kitbashed figure (or whatever you are making) is made from pieces of other items. Its fairly common in the community, many people have made customs this way. Its the easiest way to make a figure without sculpting your own.

 

Here are a few pics of ones I casted up.

PF-  What I received with that was a Parthenon figure, but only the chest "parthenon" piece.......Not sure if that was originally part of the two pack or not, but that was with that thing I sent ya!

 

If it is part of what I sent ya, I will send you that piece too.  Wouldn't want ya to have an incomplete 2pack my brother....
