In an effort to find out more about this figure, I sent the seller this message...

Hello Mike,

I just wanted to let you know that I received the lot of M.U.S.C.L.E.
figures in the mail and they are great.  Thank you very much for the fast
shipping.  I was curious though as to where you received the figures.  Were
they purchased around where you live?  Are you the original owner?  There is
a figure I have not seen before among the rest so I was curious.  Any
information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Alex

Hopefully he can tell us something that we possibly don't know. I'll keep us all posted.

arforbes, did you try to ask the seller any questions? Like when and where he got the figures, etc?

That's funny you should ask that because I am in the process of typing an email to him with those sort of questions right now. I'll let you know what he says.

B)

I wouldn't have emailed him a bunch of questions either, at least until after I had it in my hot little hands!!! My cousin had a seller on Ebay (transformertoys) NOT sell him the last rare LB I needed, after he had already won it on Ebay!!! All do to a combination of the figure selling for only a mere $100 when it usually sells for $500 and the fact he wanted him to mail it to me...BB/LB dealers don't like me much...I don't understand why???

Marty, I've got one or two that haven't been posted. My interest was kind wavering there for a while, until Mr. Forbes' find. I'll try to post something soon though.

I just wish I had a Kinnikuman version of the Dark Emperor so that I could check out the badass paintjob that he could do on him. Your work is sweet pasvagrsvj!

WOW!!! Nice find Alex. Good eye bro. Unlike Martys brown eye. You are definately the keeper of the super rares. Gate Keeper, or Key master, or whatever it was called in Ghost busters. Damn that is awesome. What intrigues me about all of this is that we have all been collecting for 20 years now and this is the first time this effer has shown up. I am sure they are more plentiful than what we are seeing, they are just boxed up in some canucks (spl?) attic. That is friggin sweet.

Another thing that is sweet is you did not have to dump $350 to have him in your collection. Although pricier than your average muscle lot you definately scored.

Which brings me to what I have been thinking about a lot lately. Here I am searching daily for rare or cool kinnikuman or muscle shizznit, some of the things I have already dumped cash into is now worth much much less (X-1) for example. I know right now all of these super rares and stuff are worth a butt load, and I know a lot of toy collectors excuses for hunting for toys is thier resale value in the future. But I personally think Muscle are in thier prime right now with the G2 shizznit. Although G2 is fading away with from what I can tell very little chance of coming back. So if you ask me in five, ten, maybe fifteen years from now, I think these super rares, which may indeed still be super rare will be worth nothing because nobody will know about them. That why I give thanks to people like Johnny and Nate, and Darrin , and the many others not mentioned who keep the spirit of muscle alive. I have said a billion time that kinnikuman related stuff are the only toys I collect. If they end up being worhtless then all I have is a several thousand dollar collection of shizznit. Needless to say that will not happen anytime soon. I am still spending buttloads of money on Kinnikuman stuff, and I hope you all will too.

I have not been posting much these last few weeks due to lack of time or desire, so my apologies for the huge post that did not all contain "sticking to the topic" material. I just needed to get some shizznit off of my chest, and congratulate Alex on a effing awesome score. I hope that the finding of this new super rare will spark some interest in veteran collectors who are loosing interest, I hope it will also give the younger collectors something to be excited about and look for in future Ebay searching. I also hope Marty gets the x-rated super rare trio pictures that he is requesting, I cant lie I want to see some super rare humpin going on myself. I hope Alex`s hands are not calluced over from all the "playing" he has been doing with his new super rare ^_^ . I love you guys, I will be back into posting more regularly in a few weeks (Not that any of you give a shizznit). I will also have some sweet updates to post on my site for you to enjoy too.

The specs I am talking about are usually located on tiny parts of the figure that rest on the cardboard backings of the 4-Packs.  They usually flake off with a finger nail or wipe clean with soap and warm water.

If you have any unopened 4-packs take a close look at them. You will likely see white spots on the blue background where the color flaked off and then see some of the flecks on the MUSCLES. I received several packs yesterday and can see the flecks on some of them.

Hey Doc!

Welcome back man! And thanks for the kudos on this new discovery. I was almost certain that someone else was watching that auction, but I guess not, which is why I got it for a cheap $26.00, I guess! ^_^

I hope too that this will spark some interest in the M.U.S.C.L.E. community. And I have thought too about the value of these Super Rares in the future. I think you are right, they are probably in their prime right now. Look at how much that SHA went for on ebay a few months ago, over $400, remember Philly? I have thought too about selling them and getting a freaking fortune back, but they are just too damn interesting to let go. It's either have a ton of money, or have the thrill of the Super Rares!

Anyways, welcome back Doc and thanks again. I have a feeling that we will se more of these on ebay in the future, as I have said many times before. There are a few Kinnikuman sculpts that I assume are still out there in Super Rare M.U.S.C.L.E. form. I will be sure to keep my Super Rare "eye" out for them.

Peace! :)

BLOODY HELL ALEX!!!

I'm outa the loop for a while & a super rare get's discovered.
nice find mate i'm happy for ya.

i'm amazed no one else was switched on enough to bid for it.

i'm actually not surprised another one was found , i am surprised that you actually
him Alex and in the manner you did , with it being open to all to find.

It's as i have said before , some may get board with muscles , but as soon as you write them off , something comes along that will amaze about them.


bravo Alex

Well there we have it folks another super rare and what can we say but congrats to Alex. I would like to thank the guy personally for introducing me to the original super rare that was Satans Cross. On the one hand we have the frustration that is not knowing which figs made it into the muscle line after the original poster figs, but on the other hand we see another example of a toyline that can throw suprises at you after all these years. Who would have thought all those years ago when you were buying your first 4-pack, ten-pack or whatever it would lead to all this. Three cheers for M.U.S.C.L.E. Hip, hip.....

Hopefully he can tell us something that we possibly don't know. I'll keep us all posted.

:mellow:

Well, I finally got a response from the seller of the Dark Emperor Super Rare. I had written him the above message shortly after the end of the auction if you remember from a previous post in this thread. Here's what he had to say...

I picked them up at a thrift shop, I'm sure they were local. sorry no more
info.


So it looks as if the Super Rare M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, at least most of them that have been discovered, are located in the vicinity of the northern United States near the Canadian border. This helps to support the theory that they all may have originated from Canada.

Our glorious Milky Way is a tiny, infinitesimal speck of sand in this vast, incomprehensible universe. And somewhere in that Milky Way is our own solar system, less than one billionth of that speck of sand that is the Milky Way. And then there is our planet Earth, one hundred trillionth of that one billionth of that one speck of sand. And on this planet Earth there is DEV-0, an insignificant blemish with a lifespan too short to measure when placed in infinite time.

And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

Yes, indeed we do. And I may have discovered even another in a recent auction that I won. It is a figure that I would have never suspected. It is a Nachiguron from Part 9 on the very bottom of this page.

http://ulala69.hp.in...co.jp/part9.htm

I am expecting the auction winnings in a few days. I will know more then.
