10 Year Anniversary


It’s been 10 years since I said, “Welcome to the University of M.U.S.C.L.E.!

Although the Pre-Pack was posted two days earlier and the The 10-Pack Display Case was posted one day earlier. I wanted something available for people to read.

I can’t believe it has been 10 years of doing this website. There have been significant ups and downs. It took entirely too long before I started having fun with the site.

After 10 years there’s only one big question I face, “Why isn’t the Figure Guide done?”

I didn’t realize it, but my approach to the Figure Guide is much like my approach to collecting the actual figures. I started in a rush, but that ended pretty quickly. I didn’t understand the urgency. Without the urgency it became much more fun. I like the infrequency of the posts. I like having some built up, ready, and waiting to post. I will be sad when the guide is done.

I have a few 10th anniversary ideas, but I thought it might be fun to start with opening the door to any and all questions. Are there any questions about the past 10 years I can answer for you guys?

    If you get all of the figures, do you intend to try and sell the Figure Guide in some sort of physical published form?

    Here’s a question… when are you gonna get that Dr. Muscle figure made? That thing was the bee’s-knees!!

    What is the most frustrating false lead or unanswered question that you have faced in these 10 years?

    Why ARENT there more pictures for the Figure Guide if you have all but 4 figures? Doesn’t seem helpful to have an Guide if nobody can look up figures. Seems as though there are more figures without pictures than ones with.

    Ever think about possibly having some raffles/contests on the site?

    Thanks to everybody for the questions. Keep them coming.

    But one question has the answer in the post above.

    Just how massive is your bootleg, flaf, and masquerading muscle collection at this point?

    1. What is your favorite discovery by the community? The Magnificent 11 or another piece?

    2. What is the Holy Grail of your collection? The piece your family got you for Christmas last year?

    What figure did you gain more appreciation for when you revisited it for the figure guide?
