Art 300 Changes

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, UofM News on March 9, 2010

Art 300 had originally been designated as a course that would focus on professional modern artists’ work using M.U.S.C.L.E as inspiration. This topic will likely become Art 400. The new idea for Art 300 is to feature the wide array of M.U.S.C.L.E. fans and collectors that express their passion for M.U.S.C.L.E. as art.

PEZ HiWay Hauler Custom

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, History, UofM News on March 5, 2010

The Hot Wheels M.U.S.C.L.E. HiWay Hauler is an item of great interest in the M.U.S.C.L.E. community. Because this prototype item is so rare, most collectors have focused on creating their own custom HiWay Haulers. The Rite Aid Pez truck seems to be the perfect base to create a custom M.U.S.C.L.E. Truck Pez dispenser.

Wolf Voigt Custom Figure Review

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, UofM News on January 22, 2010

Art 100 highlights creators who simply mimicked the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. Art 200 highlights custom pieces of art for M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors. When Wolf Voigt’s custom figures started to appear and get noticed by the M.U.S.C.L.E community it was not immediately clear which, if any, course classification he deserved. A review of one of his figures might help clear up that confusion.

As of today (1/6/09), there are 47 auctions featuring Marty Hansen’s work on eBay. Because of the challenges facing Marty Hansen the University of M.U.S.C.L.E. strongly urges collectors, at this time, to buy directly from the creator.

Art 100 – Update

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, UofM News on November 23, 2009

Gilbert Garcia submitted another interesting example of packaged counterfeit figures: T.U.F.F. Guys. Three of the four figures appear to be robots with the fourth figure clearly being a bootlegged #3 M.U.S.C.L.E. figure.

Auction Watch #22

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, Auction Watch, UofM News on November 18, 2009

It appears that the monopoly held on custom M.U.S.C.L.E. figures by Marty Hansen (TheGodbeast) could be challenged by a currently unknown seller outside of the M.U.S.C.L.E. community. The seller, Alteriormotive, has several custom creations for sale on eBay currently. It is his color changing #153 figure that is currently the most interesting and unique for M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors.

As stated in an earlier post, Rafael from LRG.com found some counterfeit M.U.S.C.L.E. figures at a store in Brazil. He was kind enough to provide the University of M.U.S.C.L.E. with the entire stock from the original store, plus pictures of the store.
