This week’s MMMM is all about bootleg key tags (or key chains, whatever you call them).
I’ve had these little (and I do mean little – look at the size comparison) figures for a while now. They tend to get lost in my collection among all the larger figures I have. But they are no longer lost as they get to be in the spotlight this week!
I have chosen to talk about these little guys for one major reason – rather, one major question, “How many of the things exist?”
I won this little lot on eBay for $10. They are made in Hong Kong. That’s all I know. Perhaps they were a vending machine price?
Bye Bye
A pity too, I love little #23.
The figures I have are replicas of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures #41, #75, #80, and #89. Here is where I have a little chuckle to myself – why those 4 figures? None of them are overly popular. In fact, I’d go on record to say they’re unpopular, particularly #41 and #75. This leads me to believe there are many more of these little guys. Maybe a full set of M.U.S.C.L.E. key chains? That would be something.

Those are nice! You did not overpay for sure.
I wonder if they went onto those charm bracelets/ necklaces from the ’80’s???

I have a couple of these but i believe mine was a necklace though, it doesnt have anything attached. they are just the figures alone. Are yours plastic or rubber? mine are rubber and not shiny.

Well, the Brown watchman is much more rubbery than the other 3 – I would say the other 3 are more M.U.S.C.L.E. like, they can still bend a bit
