I am sure this is an easy one, but I just am not very knowledgeable yet on all the variations of authorized and bootleg figures.

 

Anyhow, at least two types of Chinese made figures.  The smaller colorful Keshi-like ones all say Y/ST China.

 

The larger hard plastic ones say Y/S T TX China.

 

I predict the correct answer will be posted in 12 minutes!

Some of the ones in the left hand pic look like ULTIMATE MUSCLES.  They were made in China. 

 

As far as the ones on the right - I'm not 100% sure, but I think the re-issued kinkeshi were made in China.  Not sure, if those on the right might be the re-issues... I'm sure someone that knows more will chime in.

 

Good luck!

The seller did say they were 'authentic'. So maybe they are a Chinese made reissue than?  I am sure someone else on here has to know!

The ones on the bottom row of the first pic are Ultimate Muscle, and came with a video game.
The rest look like re-issue figs, either anniversary set, or capsule figs.

The ones I usually see referred to as Ultimate Muscle are smaller and more caricature like - bigger heads and such like these here:

Are there different types or series of Ultimate Muscle - or some difference between video game ones and others?

 

Thanks!

Yeah, they're different series. Your link is to the retail line that Bandai America did. The non-deformed ones were exclusive to the game promotion.

Cool, thanks for this information.

 

For the video game line, were they released only with the game, or could you buy them separate?  And how many are in the line?  I really dig those ones.
