“It’s a major award!”

Jimmy Rommel, from Ironhaus Productions, and Eric Nilla have been nominated for Best Mini Series (Universe of Violence). And Jimmy has also been nominated for Break-Through Artist. If we want to see friends of the M.U.S.C.L.E. community win, then we need to get organized and show our support.

Future Strength Figures

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, Research, UofM News on March 19th, 2013

Future Strength figures have largely been referred to as counterfeit or bootleg M.U.S.C.L.E. figures by most M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors. In reality, Future Strength figures are a unique type of “counterfeit” figure – they are Masquerading MUSCLE’s.
