What is this Green #197?

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, Research, UofM News on June 23, 2010

Robert has an especially bizarre Green #197 figure. At first glance, it seemed like an easy addition to the 223 Counterfeit Collection. However the figure’s head looks a bit odd.

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, Research, UofM News on May 21, 2010

Art 100 has been the home for various information regarding counterfeit figures. It now appears that Art 100 needs to evolve in a similar way to Art 300’s evolution.

Auction Watch #37

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, Auction Watch, UofM News on April 16, 2010

Art 100 showcases the variety of counterfeit figures created in the wake of the popularity of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. For some collectors these figures represent nothing more than sloppy copies of the beloved figures. Other collectors might see the uniqueness, kitschiness, and/or historicalness of the figures. Auction Watch #37 gives us an opportunity to focus on one unique counterfeit figure, and acknowledge the other figures.

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.
