BLACKHOLE SUNSHINE!!!

The hand was an important find too, and I do think you are right about the hype that was created by talks of getting him in all the colors. I have no doubt that this is what caused many to go crazy over the figure once it was found, including myself.
But now all that is in a way obsolete. The Blackhole Sunshine is not even the Rarest Super Rare any longer. I have not even received it yet and there is already a figure that is MORE rare! The mysterious Drunken Master. Check the other thread in this forum. There is only one known Drunken Master figure, and now two Blackhole Sunshines, and to add three Spinning Head Ashuraman figures.
Does that make you guys feel better. I have not even got the damn thing and there is another already that is MORE RARE!!! How ironic. $300 for a figure that will soon be as plentiful as Satancross! Ha!Ha! I'm exaggerating a little, but think about it.

Hello again Jon,
I was wondering if you could shed some light on a few questions I have about this Blackhole Sunshine figure. As a collector, I am always curious to find out information about where these figures originally come from. Do you happen to remember where it came from? Was it originally in a 4-Pack, 10-Pack, or 28-Pack? Any ideas? Any information you may have about the origins of this Blackhole Sunshine figure would be great.
Thanks again!
Alex

Maybe we can get some info about where these Super Rares originally came from!
I speculate that probably some of the first Flesh 4-Packs and Flesh 10-Packs that were ever released had the Super Rares. Then they were discontinued, explaining why we see so few of them.

Actually Alex, I did nothing similar to your escapade. I contacted the seller to get some more information about the other four packs not pictured. Asked about a certain character because I was not interested in that auction, and when she said she had several more OTHER than the auction, she sold it to me. Not only that, the auction never got closed early, she sold the auction just as it was posted and everybody was happy. I did nothing even close to what you did. I have already contacted ebay, I think greedy effing losers take the fun out of collecting. Also, as far as what you paid for it, I do not give a crap, my bid would have been higher, I am sure Johnny's would have too. As far as I am concerned Johnny can add a new event to Muscle con, the doc moore, arforbes battle royal in the parking lot. If I am even interested in muscles by then because (--snip--) like you ruin it.You did the same thing with your Satancross 4-Pack back when it popped up on ebay in an auction for a bunch of Flesh 4-Packs.
(I had to tone this one down a little - Johnny)

Its all good man! I'm not going to go off on a rage for a single sale that existed between myself and another seller who agreed to making a deal outside of ebay, that happened to piss off a person who was not even involved in it at all.
We are all entitled to our own opinions. I'm sorry Doc if my facts were a little off in my last post, I guess I had forgotten what happened, it was a long time ago. And one other thing, the auction by this seller is still going on right now as well. It never stopped. The seller just altered the contents of the auction slightly, which is exactly what I remember happening with the Satancross 4-Pack auction.
But anyway, we all try to be civil on the board...and it looks to me like I'm the one is this little dispute here that will continue to remain calm.

HOWEVER, I wouldn't have gone OVER that amount, no matter how high the guy went, and I wasn't gonna ask for the auction to be stopped.....
but, I'm not angry at ARFORBES for what he did......I'm fine with that, I'm angry at the seller for what HE did.......that's dishonest......
but, meh, another one will turn up, and when it does, I'll be all over it......

I have said this since the beginning that there would someday be an auction that would possibly come between friends here on the board, because of a figure like the BHS. But I never though it would go down so sour. By robbing anybody else of a chance to get it just shows how greedy you are, and how selfish. If it is that important to you, then enjoy it. At least I know when I go to sleep tonight I still have friends, and you have nothing more than a small rubber toy.
I apologize to Johnny because I think he is the main reason I am here in the first place, and I would have even helped him pay, just to see it in his collection. one thing you do not seem to understand Alex, and Beligerant pointed it out, is that there needs to be a trust between us here, and you have broken that trust. I also think he hit the nail on the head when he pointed out how easy it is for you to tell everybody to be patient, then cheat us out of a cool fig the second you get the chance.
As far as the rest of you guys go. I know some of you have not been around long enough to understand why I am so pissed off, so I apologize to you too. Lets just say that out of all the names on the Ebay user name thread that I would not snipe from, Arforbes is no longer one of them, because I know his selfish arse would not do the same for me.
I also know that next time I see a "rare" figure on Ebay I will email the seller to tell him not to succomb to the greediness of others and to stick it out. I emailed this guy to tell him he just lost a couple hundred for being greedy.

not everybody has a bottomless bank account like you DOCTOR moore......
I'm sorry, but at first, I had a lot of animosity towards you, because it seemed you were ALL OVER ebay, buying up any lot that I seemed interested in......
I'm a college student, the only time I have to bid on auctions is ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS......
it's kinda disheartening when I go on, and see that not only is everything I want already covered, it's covered by a guy who can afford to go the distance, without blinking an eye.....
that being said, I now just don't care.......you're a decent guy, Doc, and while I respect your opinion, just cool off.......nothing to lose sleep over!

And I have rarely bid on auctions that people from this board have bid on. I haven't won a M.U.S.C.L.E. auction in ages. I was pretty much done bidding on M.U.S.C.L.E. lots after I finished my flesh and Color collections. I only try to win the stuff that I don't have, like rare M.U.S.C.L.E.'s and the like.
I have a lot of respect for people on this board and all M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors as well. But all I can say is you win some you lose some, that's life.
But let's keep to the topic of this thread "Blackhole Sunshine"
Peace...as always.

you have never stolen an auction out from under me, and you have never thrown your money in my face.....
I'm not accusing you of that, like I said, at first, that was my initial impression, but you have turned out to be a pretty nice guy, and IMHO so is arforbes........
both of you have helped me out in the past, and I'm grateful to both of you for that........
that's why I'm taking a neutral stance in this latest fiasco......
am I upset that I didn't get a chance to bid? sure.......but I'm not gonna take it out on Arforbes......he was completely within his rights to do that.....
however, the seller, has committed a bad deal........and I'm angry at him for not letting the auction run its course.........I'm pretty sure it would've gone BEYOND that (I would've bid 350, so it could've gone even higher!) had he not thought with immediate dollar signs, over waiting nine days.......
his loss, I suppose.......
I also know that if there's two, there's gotta be more........
I understand arforbes completist mentality, but now he has EVERY KNOWN MUSCLE in flesh........therefore, he's less of a threat to us when more come up........
that's just the way I see it.........

I bought it at a Flea Market loose with about a hundred other figures - two
years ago. I heard that there are only a couple of these known to exist.
Are there any other rare MUSCLE figures like this one?
Thanks
Jon
