I know on the net there's tons of resources and pictures but would love a physical book.
Any thoughts?

It might be a nice idea, but it's not without problems. The biggest one is that the M.U.S.C.L.E. collecting community--unlike others (GI Joe, Transformers, and Hot Wheels, to name a couple of examples)--is pretty small. From a publisher's perspective, a small market would mean few sales and lower profit margins. So, the only way I can see such a guide coming to fruition is if the author were to self-publish. I don't know many people, if any at all, who have the wherewithal to take on such a project and then attempt to self-publish.
Current collecting goal: obtain all 148 Monster In My Pocket Series 1 figures in regular colors (71.62% there)
So many toys, so little money!

we can always get people together to make a photo-book from Shutterfly or one of those other places online.

Not quite a book... But looking at Shutterfly gave me an idea. What about an updated poster? One with all of them on there... Including stuff that wasn't on there originally?
PF!
Well with Shutterfly you can upload custom pages for each, not just photos, so we would technically make our own book. I think someone had this idea a couple years back, but nothing ever came of it.
and a poster with just the 3 extra figs (ring figs, and satan cross) would be easy since there is room on the top. I've been working on a Kinnikuman poster, I think that would be a way better design since we would get the whole 418 sculpts in one poster.
