The goal of the University of M.U.S.C.L.E. was to collect as much M.U.S.C.L.E. information as possible and house it in one location – with the hope that people would make discoveries or uncover unseen information based on their new understanding of “all” the information. The first example of this synergistic approach has occurred.
TheOrgg was reading Matthew G.’s Sociology 300 write-up and clicked on the Kinnikuman Comichara link that was included in Matthew’s spotlight (from Nathan’s M.U.S.C.L.E. Blog). TheOrgg noticed that the 9 figures from the Comichara set matched the figures on the Purple Board Game figure tree.
Both Groups of Figures
This discovery supports Mr. Smith’s idea that the six Non-MUSCLE sculpts from Part Eight were their own mold (tree) and that the two molds that were believed to be part of Part 8 were actually one combined mold.

Whoa! That’s a pretty cool discovery! I never noticed that before.

This means there are a bunch of purple Claws, Personalmans, Waving Sunshines and Cowboy Kinnikumans out there somehwhere that have never seen the light of day. They were probably thrown away at the factory. 🙁

I dug this up to show an example of what a tree looks like to someone, and a thought struck me.
What’s the weight of the figures on each side of the tree? If my gut feeling is right, each side will be almost equal in weight.
Brings up another thought– are each copy of the same MUSCLE figure the exact (or extremely close) in weight?
