I am really curious if it was a LRG member who bought this Kinnikuman lot off of me a few years ago. I found the lot at the thrift store and promptly tossed it on ebay. They were the softer molds so I assumed they were kinnikuman and not US muscle. I remember they sold for something like $175.

Crazy find for a thrift store!!

I knew exactly what they were when I saw them. I remember my wife was blown away by how much the buyer paid for them

haha wizard. Yes and no. While I love and appreciate MUSCLE figures, I felt it would have gone to a collector that loves them more than me.

Not to rub it in lol... but I'm curious.  Anyone wanna do the math on this and take a guess how much this lot goes for "value" wise?

Thats a great price if you sold them for that.

 

Kinkeshi prices have come down a bit over the years since they are more common in the states now. I remember selling certain figures $10-$15 that I can probably get $3 for now.

I haven't kept track of Kinkeshi or MUSCLE prices for like more than a year and 1/2 now. But wild guesses are wild guesses. But becuase of the BHS being intact. I say $40 to $50. The SC and SHA are incomplete. The rest of the figure are meh.

Today? Probably a little less than that sold separately. Around $100 as a total lot. Nice lot, especially for the BHS with peg attached. Pity about the SHA and SC missing their extra pieces.

In Japan they would go for a lot more though. Some of those that are common to us are not over there. For example, the Kinnikuman in his final battle outfit (Curled bicep) is common here as a M.U.S.C.L.E. but a little pricey over in japan as a kinkeshi ($20-$30 if I recall correctly)

Did you remove the peg from the black hole? It looks like it was attached in one photo and then removed the next. Pretty sweet lot

Naw it was inside his chest when I found it at the thrift store. I just placed it next to his body in the lot pics

There's still so much I feel like I'm learning about actual MUSCLE figures... let alone their Japanese Kinkeshi counterparts.  I know NOTHING about the Japanese stuff (aside from there being a whole lot more of them).  I'm actually kind of surprised that none of them have appeared in any of the lots and stuff I've purchased on Ebay.
