What are the chances of actually obtaining a purple claw? According to muscledb.com there are only a few known to exist.

slim to none

[jkaris]

Slim, but there have been a handful over the years. Check Canadian lots.

I have one in a 4-Pack that I may be willing to sell, for the right price...

So the question is. What is the right price?

Just out of curiosity, what would a purple claw be worth these days?

At least $50-$100 I would think. I know I would pay $100 for that pack, and I am a cheap bastitch very frugal.

That price seams reasonable to me. I guess we shall see if that price is right to arforbes. And if he wants to sell it to me!

I'll pass on the magenta, I would rather have the purple!

Well, if you ever find a magenta claw, jump on it, because it isn't supposed to exist. The one above is a tribute to Alex's photoshop skills.

Yeah, its a really neat color. One of my favorites, also a favorite among collectors.

I know it's not supposed to exist, I was just being a smarta$$.

I'd be willing to trade my Mag 4 pack for a purple four pack.

Hahaha! Nice!

Doc that is effing awesome! Hahaha! Put it on ebay, and then you can go buy a car!

I want one of those!

That's a re-seal!

Once again, me being a smart a$$.

Man, I wish I had Photoshop skills like that!

But anyway, back to the topic at hand: if I had to make a guess, we haven't discovered every M.U.S.C.L.E. figure remaining in existence...and we're probably nowhere near doing so. Plus, I'd think it's highly unlikely that Mattel would have documented production of these Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere by color. Someone might well find a purple Claw or a sculpt in a previously unknown color!

Over the years by observing collections and formulating facts and available information from the group, we as a collector's community have a pretty good idea of what figures were made in which colors and also the rarity of each. You should read through the pinned topics at the top of this thread in "G1 M.U.S.C.L.E., Exogini, Cosmix, etc." and take a look at the Mystery of the non Muscle Sculpts thread at the very top. It will answer some of the questions you may have an fill you in on what we now know from years of observation.

Doc, do you really have your Super Rares and the SC figure sealed up in a 4-Pack now? Or did you just lift the bubble for the photo of them all in there. If you did reseal it then I was going to say that is an awesome way of keeping them protected, in orginal Muscle packaging! But if you did seal it, don't you miss being able to pick them up every now and then?
