Manufacturing Error Figure or Tortured Figure?

Posted by Chad Perry in Research, UofM News on August 20, 2013

Good news for M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors! A buyer won the Orange #163 figure from Auction Watch #139. He sent some new, much better pictures, to share with collectors. Now he wants to ask collectors a very important question, “Did I get an error or a tortured figure?”

The People vs. M.U.S.C.L.E. – Part 2

Posted by Chad Perry in Advertising & Promotion, Research, UofM News on March 3, 2010

The People vs. M.U.S.C.L.E. – Part 2 follows the same framework for M.U.S.C.L.E. advertising that had been established the previous year in the two commercials. Sadly, for the final M.U.S.C.L.E. commercial there appears to be a far less focused approach. However, hardcore Color figure collectors likely view this commercial as the single greatest thirty seconds of video ever uncovered.

The M.U.S.C.L.E. “Warp”

Posted by Chad Perry in Research, UofM News on October 15, 2009

The vast majority of collectors have come across figures with small problems – normally some type of warping: an oddly positioned foot, arms or legs too far apart or too close together, a small dent in the figure, or a pose that simply does not match identical sculpts. This warping could be called, “The M.U.S.C.L.E. Warp.”

Manufacturing Error Figures

Posted by Chad Perry in Research, UofM News on October 12, 2009

M.U.S.C.L.E. figures were created using an injection molding process. This process reduces cost, increases efficiency, and produces an outstanding final product. However, it is impossible to have a 100% perfect production process. Errors and slight abnormalities will occasionally arise.
