Hi, its been a while.  But I remember ordering the original MUSCLES figures from a guy named Jon Karis.  It was fun times!  But his site is not in service anymore.

 

Does anyone know where else I can obtain them, with as fresh mint condition as Jon had?

 

Also, are there any other, new improved versions of the MUSCLES figures that I can get?

Hi!

 

That's me.

 

My new store is here:

https://store.little...com/muscle.html

 

I don't have anything new in package, but I do have plenty of loose figures in good condition for sale.

Hey Jon,
Do you ship to Australia? How much is shipping?
Thanks

I do.

But the price for international shipping depends on how many figures.

Up to 8 ounces, the shipping cost is $19USD.
That is about 30 figures in a padded envelope.

But from 8.1 ounces to 32 ounces (2 lbs), the shipping cost is $30USD.
That is about 130 figures in a small 5x5 box.

So Jon, do you still sell MUSCLES in a way where we can specify which figure we want, and you can get it to us?

 

Also...

 

- I've been out of the loop for decades, but has there since been an upgrade to the original MUSCLE figures to where they are now made of a better material?  And perhaps in color?

 

- What are those green OMFG figures I see on your profile/signature?  They look cool!  Are they made of the SAME rubber material as the original MUSCLES figures?

Hi!

 

Only in random lots. I don't have them sorted to be able to efficiently pick through them.

 

Nope. M.U.S.C.L.E.s are still just the original ones we bought as kids. However, there are the original Kinnikuman figures(http://kin29mankeshi...tandardtop.html), which were more eraser like. This is where the actual original M.U.S.C.L.E. molds came from.

 

Also, Super 7 has run with the M.U.S.C.L.E. brand for all sorts of non-kinnikuman related figures (He Man, Robotech, etc. http://www.littlerub...268856&p=704923)

 

O.M.F.G. figures were produced by October Toys years ago (http://www.octobertoys.com/omfg.php). It was a fan creation line (https://www.kickstar...r/omfg-series-1). The material is very similar, just slightly softer. Some super cool figures came out through the line!
