After searching around on this site and trying to find whatever info I could elsewhere, it seems like every Cosmix figure I have seen is also a sculpt in the Exogini line. Also, there are Cosmix Ninjas from the 2nd series of Exogini, though I am unaware if there are series 3 Exogini sculpts in Cosmix. As such, I reason that either the lines were made by the same manufacturer or that one company copied the other. I have seen pictures of cosmix packaging, but I could not really see a manufacturer name since the pictures were small and not high quality enough for details. Also, since I do not have cosmix and exogini of the same sculpt, I cannot compare sizes to see if perhaps one is smaller than the other, indicating that one was ripped off from the other.

So,

1. Does anyone have a cosmix sculpt that does not appear in the exogini line? Albertinoz has the exogini sculpts at http://www.exogini.com/tutti.htm for reference.

2. Does anyone have a cosmix and an exogini in the same sculpt to do a size comparison?

3. Does anyone have a cosmix package or container to perhaps identify manufacturer?

4. Does anyone perhaps have any other info that might be pertinent?

With that said, I have some questions about my own figures. I recently received a lot that contained a regular M.U.S.C.L.E., 6 dark pink cosmix, 1 green cosmix, 2 black ninjas, and 3 flesh ninjas and a flesh M.U.S.C.L.E. sculpt.

My question has to do with the black and flesh colors. Is there an easy way to tell the Cosmix black and flesh from the Exogini black and flesh. I assume that what I have are Cosmix since the other figures, save the real M.U.S.C.L.E., were Cosmix, but I would like to be sure. It seems like the Exogini black are a glossy, dark gray or charcoal from what I can tell from the pictures. Is this a correct observation for those that have the figures? Also, the flesh ones I have are really light, approaching white, whereas the exogini appear darker, more peach color. Is this a correct observation for those who may have both?

Anyway, here is a pic, are these all cosmix?

Lastly, A question for those of you with the pink cosmix. My pink cosmix have some silver dots on them that don't appears removable. My figures had a black substance on them that I assume rubbed off from the black figures. All the figures had this black substance and with some toothbrush scrubbing and scraping with a toothpick, it came off for the most part. Only the pink has these silverish spots and they do not come off. Not only that, they appear indented into the skin and on further inspection, there are some that are even below the skin. I am guessing that this was some sort of impurity in the manufactoring process. Does anyone else have these silver spots on their figures?

Here is a pic though it is not very good and I could not get close enough detail to really show much, like how some are below surface.

I have a fairly LARGE collection of "Cosmix." I will try to take a good photo and answer your questions tomorrow...

I have 19 pink-metallics muscles, 15 blue metallic muscles, 4 flesh muscles, 8 pink-metallic ninjas, 8 blue-metallic ninjas, 8 flesh ninjas, 9 black muscles, 5 black ninjas. The flesh exogini are more beige and the cosmix have a little pink to them. The blacks are nearly the same. I also have the USA ninjas in yellow, red and black, but, they all have gitd parts painted on them.

I should have a few extras soon...lmk if you are interested.

Thanks for the pics Godbeast, very nice collection. Are the flesh ninjas at the top and flesh muscles under the metallic reds both Cosmix? In your opinion, are my flesh and black figures Cosmix or is it hard to say? Also, do your metallic reds have those silver spots I mentioned?

THANX!!!

Yes the flesh under the metallic pink Cosmix ARE Cosmix also!

Exoginis are more beige and Cosmix are more pink.

You can see the difference in the flesh ninjas.

Now as far as the metallic pink Cosmix, nope...no blue flecks in them.

I do have 2 different shades of the metallic blue Cosmix though...and the pink too have some that have a slight orangish tint to them and some that don't.

If you need any of the extras I have, please lmk asap!

Those are Lego Bionic cases. You can still find them at some Toys R Us's in the discount carts. They'll either be super cheap or even free. Here is a website, I don't know whose it is, but I think this is where the idea came from:
