I picked this up recently, with a handful of other Class A's, and after posting a pic of my findings to the "What's it worth" section, I've been receiving a lot of interest in the figure. I'm curious though, why so popular? My understanding is that this is a Class A figure, and is so considered, at the very least, uncommon. I'm curious if anyone can tell me more than that about this sculpt/color scheme.

I don't know a whole lot about MUSCLE, but I believe the Sunshine figures are some of the desirable ones, (for whatever reason).

 

But you'd have to get a better opinion from someone more knowledgeable than myself.

[CaffeineSanta]

That makes sense, but it just seems like this one is EXTRA desirable, because of it's color.

Yeah Sunshine is one of the more popular figures, especially the different shaped ones. Those had more of an impact on some kids for being more unusual than a normal figures. Same thing goes with the Sneagator Claw.

[CaffeineSanta]

So is it just that - popularity? or is it rare because of the color? 

[Rubberhammer]

Popularity.

It would garner the same attention if it were salmon.

Sunshine is just really popular amongst some collectors.

I know that the 107 is a highly sought figure in salmon. And especially purple. Quite a few people probably need it to complete or almost complete some master sets....according to the guide.

Be9ine would most likely make out like a bandit on them on auction.

It even has a slight warp which makes cooler to me even

Yeah Im in the "loves sunshine" crowd and Id like to get a set of the tops and whatever form this one is supposed to be in all colors but not sure if I'm interested enough to compete for the rare ones. Also fwiw, all of the 107s I have are slightly warped with respect to the head so thought this was the usual way they looked

There are a bunch that are tilted. I think they had a large run of slightly tilted heads.....I have a bunch that are tilted and straight up.

Well, I've decided to auction him off, here on the boards, for anyone that is interested

I love sunshine because he showed up in ultimate muscle with that awesome eye patch lol

[CaffeineSanta]

I've never actually seen Ultimate MUSCLE
The incarnation of him where his arms are straight down,  and he's....I dunno, thinner than his other sculpts, that one is my favorite MUSCLE sculpt; I never cared for the pyramid one
