Auction Watch #37

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.

Art 100 – Update

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.

Uniao Festas Figures

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.
