Manufacturing Error Figure or Tortured Figure?

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

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”

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.”
