Save the images to a folder on your desktop, then print them via the default Windows picture viewer. Works great!

Also, here is Biffard's checklist:

I just updated page 5 to reflect the Ring figures and Super Rares.

[Krangala]

if Satan Cross isn't rare, then why is he so expensive?

I remember thinking that $20 was too much for him back in the day, and now, at $60, I think it's just outrageous.

Popularity and "perceived" rarity.

[Steelman]

Hey anyone know where to get super rares and how much they might cost?

They are a chance occurence. Scour eBay auctions religiously.
Cost/ if you chance on one in a lot, next to nothing. Buying one directly from a collector will run you $600-$2000, most being around $900 each.

I still hold out hope that one day I'll come across a lot of 'em, and there'll be a SC, or some other rare piece in there.

I'm working on my flesh set first, then I'm gonna start grabbing up colored figures.......I don't want anything in particular (aside from a few choice pieces, such as an orange arch, green and blue claws, and the rest of the Krangalas I need)

I've already mentioned this to Johnny,and he thought it was a good idea.
My suggestion is for this Muscle checklist. For Muscle newbies like myself,it would be extremly helpful to know which colors are more rare than others. I suggest that the RARE colors underneath the pic have a 'square' around them,and the uncommon colors have a 'circle' around them. Also names would be helpful.

What also may be useful is a link to Nathan's Figure Search (http://www.nathansmu...asp?menu=muscle).

I just recently found the original text M.U.S.C.L.E. checklist I had printed out from the MPS a LOOOOOONNNNGGGG time ago. Wow, how bad were those text descriptions? I actually had gone and marked a few there, too!

Most of them do not have "official" names as far as I know--they instead go by the sculpt number. You could check at http://muscledb.com/ for possible additional info as to commonality vs. rarity of each color.

My memory is a bit cloudy, to say the least, but I seem to remember a lot of purple, dark blue, and snot-green ones from when I was a kid.

In terms of rarity, are any of the flesh MUSCLES harder to find? I ask because I am about 20ish short of complete and trying to figure the odds on finishing with a couple big lots. Any help appreciated!

edit- oops, skipped the one post that already answered me...doh!

Anyone have a nice Excel spreadsheet for keeping track of your figures? I was thinking of making one, but didn't want to if someone has already done it.

I was thinking colors along the top (x axis) and number, name, and where the figures were available down the side (y axis).

Let me know if you have something similiar.

THANKS!

Like the form in the DB; however, I wanted to merge it with the names of the figures and what packaging they were found in. Anyone have a table I can do a lookup on?

[ladorasurf]

Thank you SO much! PM sent.

[Nyarlathotep]

Actually I have exactly what you are looking for - and it's been pretty awesome to use, if I do say so myself.

I was going to post it for UofMUSCLE, and I still will, but I'll email it to you. PM me your email address.

This sounds really good. I was looking around UofM but it looks like you haven't had a chance to post it yet. Would it be possible to post it here, or some how make it available? Thanks!

I would think that the figures only available in the 28-packs would be rarer than ones that were available in multiple assortments.

[Biffard]

I made this checklist for myself and thought maybe someone else could use it so I spruced it up and here it is. Thanks to tortle and general veers for letting me use their materials from their websites.

Also, there are a lot of pages, if anyone is interested I could email it to them instead, just PM me. Enjoy!

I did some house cleaning because I thought it took up a lot of space and you get the idea of what it looks like. If you are interested in the Muscle checklist there is a new version 2.0 with black boxes where their are no muscles in a specific color. The pictures in this post are now outdated, scroll down to see an example of the newer version 2.0. See post #27

I'll send it to anyone who wants it just send me a PM with your email.


I hope this is useful to someone, also please let me know if you encounter any errors. Thanks

Most excellent!
That is some fine work, there, Biffard!

[walker13.1]

THANK YOU!!!!

Just a heads up for those who receive via email, all together, this is 10.6MB.

Thanks again. Makes for easy recognization with Veers' work.

My ONLY complaint (and this applies to the original checklist too) is that it also includes colours for each figure that don't exist.

Since we pretty definitively know by now what exists and what doesn't, I would say that a comprehensive checklist ought to not include checkboxes for colours that don't exist.

Sorry, I don't want to sound overly-critical, because it's clearly taken some time

Since we pretty definitively know by now what exists and what doesn't, I would say that a comprehensive checklist ought to not include checkboxes for colours that don't exist.

I predict that the nano-second a colored box for a sculpt is removed, the sculpt will be discovered in that color.

Nice work on the checklist!

I thought about doing that but at the same time i didn't want to completely copy general veers list because he has blocked out the colored ones that aren't available. Otherwise I would have just added pictures to his figure guide. But, maybe later on I'll go through the list and mark the ones that don't exist, or wait until every color of every muscle ever made is discovered!!!
