Last night I saw this auction on ebay and thought that the last figure in the fourth row from the top was a Lightbulb figure. I noticed from the auction pic that he looked very much like a M.U.S.C.L.E., in the color mostly from what I could see.
Check it out...

He's a little lightbulb. It needs to be cleaned, it's just dirt.
and he also sent me this pic of the figure...

He responded this morning with...Thanks for the picture. I was wondering if you could answer one more question. Is he just like the other pink M.U.S.C.L.E. figures in his color and plastic hardness. He looks like a M.U.S.C.L.E. to me, but I cannot tell for sure. Does he have Y/S.N.T on his back? Is he firm or rubbery?
Thanks again,
Alex

He doesn't have Y/S.N.T on his back and he isn't as firm as the rest. Maybe it isn't an original M.U.S.C.L.E. figure, I've never noticed that before.
So I guess despite his M.U.S.C.L.E. color look and his convincing M.U.S.C.L.E. qualities, he is just a bootleg. DAMN! Oh well. That would have been cool though!

Yeah, he is a bit dirty, but since he is not a M.U.S.C.L.E. and I already have a Lightbulb Kinnikuman, I don't think I am going to try to win this auction. It does have a yellow Ghost kinnikuman and a yellow Sunshine #3 in there too though, for any that are interested.looks kinda nasty looking....just hope that you can get it clean.
My max bid is $3.00, feel free to snag this if you want.

Anyway, the Lightbulb Guy seems to be a pretty common bootleg, so that's not really surprising to me. I have one, and it's one of my favorite figures... although the sculpt of this one seems to be a better quality than mine (if you get rid of those hideous poop stains).

number 3 looks cool as hell also!
I might go for this auction if the price is ok and other board members do not mind.

i think its pretty sick that the person actually had to dig around in his...poo, to get the figure out if it. How did it get there? I can only hope that he ate it.Good God... it looks like that guy passed through somebody's colon...
