It's Raining (little plastic) Men
I was doing my usual eBay searching thing earlier this week and saw this unusual lot of figures:
Some of them I immediately recognized as M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, but then I saw something that made me cut backflips: M.U.S.C.L.E. sized Masters of the Universe figures! WWWWHHHHHAAAAAA?????? I was unsure about some of the others... and the pic in the auction wasn't that great.
So they arrived today, and wow... what a crazy group!
Here are the official M.U.S.C.L.E. guys... they're pretty dirty, but nothing a good cleaning won't fix:
Now these are something I've never seen before... I believe they are bootleg M.U.S.C.L.E. figures! They are made of a really soft, rubbery plastic (maybe rubber) and have none of the markings that most M.U.S.C.L.E. figures have, just a small stamp that says "CHINA" on their backs.
This guy is a bit different... I don't think he's a M.U.S.C.L.E. figure, but he's made of similar material and has the words "HONG KONG" stamped on the back of his forearm. He's my favorite of the whole bunch... looks like a orc wearing Samus' armor from Metroid!
This is one of those weird Star Wars rip-off toys from the late 70's/early 80's that used to be in grocery stores at the checkout aisle to make kids to beg their parents to get them. I had a buttload of these when I was a kid. It's like a combination of R2D2 and the robots from Silent Running.
And here's the real reason I bought this lot:
How crazy is this? I never even knew these toys existed.
They captured almost every detail in miniature-- even the fasteners on the harnesses!
They're molded in the same rubbery material as the bootleg M.U.S.C.L.E. guys, so getting them to stand is almost impossible. I learned from a friend on the October Toys Forum that these were quarter capsule toys back in the day. I'd buy that for a quarter!!!
All in all a really cool set of figures!
The best part? The whole set was only $1.99! YIPPEE!!!!

On the desk...
I've been extremely negligent about updating this blog of late. I just wanted to post some pics of what I've been working on these last few days. I took some shots of my temporary work space at my brother's house. I'll be back in the madhouse soon enough for more makings of the things.
These are some more of those M.U.S.C.L.E. figures I've been painting up for my buddy George:
