So alot of people have been trying to get aset of one guy in all colors.
The hand is by far the most popular yet.
Beligerant, Doc_Moors_J and Arforbes are all trying to accomplish that feat.
And up until last year noone had a purple claw, noone had even seen one, except on the color poster. Then 2 popped up within a months time. But as far as anyone knows, there are only 2 (so far, I'm sure there are more).
Same with the Magenta, except only one person once claimed to have one, but he is gone and no one had ever seen it. But no one has one.

stuff like that makes me wonder, if they did stuff like that on purpose...
or if there is other color based anomolies...
(off topic, i just spotted a mullet...)
i have never seen a red warsman... i have been looking really hard, but to date, none. just one of those things, i guess.

that reminds me of myThe Purple Claw was a special mail-away only offer that you had to redeem for with one full flesh set. The offer was only valid from June 6, 1984 to April 5th, 1985. It was also regional- it was only offered in Japan and Australia. The Purple Claw is the ratest MUSCLE figure, more so than Black Hole Sunshine, Spinning Head Ashura, or Drunken Master. As far as we know, maybe two or three exist in the world.
"by 1 get 3 free, offer not valid on earth, batteries not included,
some assemmbler required. made in atlantis"
anyway
just like any character some are made less in 1 color then others.
personally i'm looking for a few characters in all colors.
but my prized one is #182 i want as many as i can with as many colors as possible (including kinnikuman colors)
right now i only have 2 in purple , but i soooo want them in all colors
ever made

Twice so far in one day and the second time (this time) I LMAO. You know what its just quite possible that the purple claw underwent a mass genocide like each one in each color. I know its a stretch but alot of you tell stories of how you have dismanteled all your muscles when you were little.
Oh i forgot to mention when i was cleaning mine in teh bathroom here someone said i had hundreds of them when i was little. I shoulda asked him if he still had some and was willing to sell.... Damn.

So Veers,Doc are you kidding? You need a Purple #3? The block guy waving his left hand, right?
I think I have one.
Did you end up having a Purple Sunshine #3 for Doc Moore? I am curious to see if one of us had this figure all along.
That would be sweet for Doc if you are willing to trade!

Wow, that's cool! All this time Veers had one.The Purple #3 is sitting right in front of me.

Do you have a Magenta Claw for Doc Moore or Beligerant1?
That would be pretty funny if you did, considering we all have searched our asses off for a Magenta Claw #153.

Isn't it obvious? They released all the flesh ones first, and those were the only color at the time. So since the color figures were released randomly, and all at once, it would have taken nine times longer to release 233 of each color. But they weren't as popular, so they never got around to it. And for all those unsold color MUSCLES left in shops... who knows what happened to them. Which might be why it's so hard to find one of the 100 or 200 purple Claws that were made.It is just beyond belief, ive touched upon this before, but i dont understand why we have never found 1 figure in all nine colours.
-Of course this ISN'T obvious, and it's just a rough estimate. Even if they had the supply, there was no demand, so many of the colors may not have ever left the factory. But I doubt they purposely produced less purple Claws than other colors/figures.
