I have been listing toys from my childhood on ebay and these are the only two figures which I can't figure out what they are. I found a picture of one of the robots on this site but it is in a different color and said not much was known about them. The first picture I posted is of the one I found on this site. Just wondering if anyone on here can help me with identifying and let me know if it is worth my time even putting them on ebay for sale. Thank you in advance to anyone taking the time to help out.

They are M.U.S.C.L.E.

Diamondman, and Watchman.

Worth maybe fifty cents each.

I know they are vintage for sure. I am 31 now and they are from a box of early childhood toys. Not gonna sell for 50 cents. I would rather keep them for nostalgia

why are they not the skin color of other muscles?

[TheRiddler]

that's another reason why I think they are from a vending machine or something...are they hard plastic or rubbery

[plasticfiend]

I think the pink ones are actual Official Muscle figures. Flesh color.

The blue one is definitely a bootleg... I can't really tell if the green watchman is.

Just FYI Riddler wasn't trying to take advantage of you or anything. Common Muscle figures typically self for 50-75 cents each. This is stuff I had to learn when I first joined the forum, because I just assumed because if the age that they were worth much more. Now of course there are exceptions and occasionally you see crazy prices on Ebay, but 50 -75 cents is pretty average from what I've seen.

Sometimes the bootlegs can get you more though. Just depends on what it is. You might be able to get $1 fort he little blue guy... But I'm not very well versed in the world of bootlegs. Maybe some of the other LRGers will chime in on that (ahem - Eric...).

Good luck! It's always a treat going back through your childhood toys... Enjoy the memories.

The green and blue figures are kinkeshi, he posted them from another site he found matching the other sculpt...I didn't think you were taking advantage man lol but I seriously think those are not muscle figures they look too plastic like and purply

[Ericnilla]

the little blue one is from the japanese popy Mini Kinkeshi set, the Green is a japanese kinkeshi version watchman. The pinks if they are eraser rubber are bootleg, if they are the same as muscle rubber then they are faded magenta figures.

 

 

and yes $0.50 is about right for most, The Blue mini popy Meat i'd say $2.

you can also see a lot of flashing on the hands and around the figure and they have that cheap plastic look

Thanks Eric... And good call Riddler. Like I said, bootlegs are some of the things I know least about. If could hold them in my hands I could tell, but sometimes just from pics I can't spot them.

Riddler I know you weren't taking advantage lol... I was making sure HE knew you weren't. Sometimes newbies (and uneducated ones) can get a little defensive ... Not that this guy was getting defensive I was just trying to back up your price points.

I don't think these are bootlegs at all. i think the coloring of those figures is just way off. I'm fairly certain that's a salmon Watchman and magenta Diamondman. Both common from the same 28 pack.

[TheRiddler]

I got ya PF!

 

dahumorist- you have much better eyes than I...I cant even distinguish 2 different colors there
