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.”
