UofMUSCLE.com – M.U.S.C.L.E. Figures from Mattel

Two things: (1) I posted Epilogue on the wrong day this week; and (2) my mind was blown on Friday.

I was so scattered brained this week that I honestly thought I was posting the Epilogue on Friday. I thought I was writing it on Thursday. Nope.

Wrote on Wednesday. Posted on Thursday. Realized it embarrassingly late.

It was a busy week.

Normally I never share anything new on a Saturday (I swear I almost just typed Friday. I’ll be ready for Monday.), but I need to micro-share this picture from Instagram. This figure appeared on my doorstep Friday. I still can’t believe it.

I’ll share the entire story next week, but I’m just walking on air. And while the figure is nice, its the kindness that has really inspired me. In the most literal sense, my overall self has been lifted. Being the recipient of kindness to this intense of a degree is impossible for me to explain. (I need to spend the next few days figuring out the words. I don’t think you’ll want to read emotional babbling.)

Ok, back to the regular Saturday posting.

These posts don’t always yield too many results. Actually, I do get some submissions after these posts. They have been helpful. I guess my imagination always expects an overflowing mailbox.

I also really like the school picture from that post.

There were also some great errors posted five years ago.

I wanted to say they were some of my favorites, but I literally said that last week. It was true last week. That dancing #70 is one of my favorites.

It was probably a hyperbolic thought this week. The #24 and #77 are really great examples, but they aren’t my favorites.

The Satan Cross isn’t really a favorite either. However, it is certainly one of the most interesting M.U.S.C.L.E. stories. Other people might disagree, and even more probably don’t remember. I’m still shocked that this SC was negatively viewed because of the error. I was shocked when it sold for $32. I might be even more shocked today.

Seriously. Even if you didn’t like the error, then why not buy it and just cut it off? It pains me to think someone would do that, but why not if you really wanted one?

In the Epilogue, the other day, I was voicing the notion that eBay takes a dip this time of the year. There may be some truth to that, but
Auction Watch #93 would be a strong counterpoint to that argument.

My mind would explode if we saw auctions like this again.

Nope. That’s not true. I would just be very happy. I think the Purple #107 has my emotions peaking. It’s during me into a borderline melodramatic writer.

One point if you know why I picked the Bob’s Burger gif for today’s post.

Two points if you post the reason in the Comments.
