Re: Kinnikuman M.U.S.C.L.E. キン肉マン Collectibles General Thread
Did you see the Revoltech ver? It's fetching more on the secondary market than the figuarts ver. Has a changeable torso and eye system like PERS.
Yeah, I keep being tempted by them... but honestly I've got so many iterations of Kinnikuman that it get's a bit ridiculous. I'm just waiting for the day when some one finally releases a 1/6 version.
And if that doesn't happen I've planned for a long time to just make one myself, so we'll see which happens first
You think they'll make a Kid Muscle figure. I loved that show, in fact i always though he was the main muscle
It seems like that series has been largely abandoned. Romandoh did a pretty cool Kid Muscle figure 15 or so years ago and then the ones they sold in the US were pretty cool as well.

I personally think the figuarts is the better figure. Though the Revoltech one have a lot more variety and options. But the proportions and the traps are kinda ugly.
Yeah, those are pretty badass... stop tempting me!!!
Great collection galactiboy. I used to have so many of these things M.U.S.C.L.E. pieces. Some of my better memories are of my dad taking me to the Lucky grocery store and handing me quarters to get new ones. I would love to have some of these again.
Thanks man, they were what got me into collecting... once I started looking around on eBay for M.U.S.C.L.E. figures I started seeing all the other great things I could waste money on
A Good rule of thumb on buying M.U.S.C.L.E. figures is that you shouldn't pay more than $1 for one, if you buy more than 20 or so then expect the price per figure to go down. And really large lots usually end up being closer to the original $.25 price.
The only real exception is Satan Cross... by all accounts he was only released in the original pink run of the figures and was not on the poster. He does seem legitimately rare and I've seen him sell for as high as $50. I overpaid on a lot of figures to get mine and it was like $25... but as a completest it was totally worth it to me
Some people will also pay in the $200 range for a purple claw... but that's just stupidity imo
