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.

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.

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.
