Hey guys,

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...

Thinking it was a lighbulb Super Rare like Drunken Master, I emailed the seller with this...

He responded...

He's a little lightbulb. It needs to be cleaned, it's just dirt.

and he also sent me this pic of the figure...

I then sent him another email...

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 responded this morning with...

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!

looks kinda nasty looking....just hope that you can get it clean.

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.

My max bid is $3.00, feel free to snag this if you want.

Good God... it looks like that guy passed through somebody's colon...

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).

I think that lightbulb guy is a pretty cool figure even if he is a bootleg and Sunshine Yellow
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.

dont feel bad about beating someone on the boards, it is after all an auction. Just have a concious about it though like if its a main player go for it but if the guy hardly has any its ok to give him(or her) one if its not going crazy cheap. Only rule is just dont snipe me cuz i am one cool cat

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.

But good luck to anyone that goes for this auction.
