This little guy is very similar to the (still unidentified) corncob-head man!





And this one is obviously a MUSCLE bootleg, but with an interesting twist - it's got the body of one figure and the head of another! Sort of. The head is from another figure, but without the crest on top, and with a completely different back-of-the-head. It's also hard plastic.

Wow, that second one is pretty awesome.

For posterity, here's the corncob guy.

Yeah, still don't know about those weird guys, but the Frankensteined bootleg is easy. I've seen and owned several like that guy before. Smaller than a MUSCLE, made of hard plastic and with parts from more than one MUSCLE sculpt but tweaked as well. The one I remember specifically was I think a caped multi-armed body (Ashuraman?) with Buffaloman's head.

Post a picture of Ashurabuffaloman.

Buy me a camera first!

In all honesty, I don't think I have the figure anymore either.

The first guy was a vending machine generic M.U.S.C.L.E. boot from the mid 80's. I got a bunch of them including that specific sculpt back in the day but sold them off in a big lot a year or two ago.

Can anyone else find anything on them, though? That, you see, is the question!

Thanks for pointing to the fact that at least somebody here's seen them.
