Hmm, wish I had some more of these 2 share. Sadly, I'm not that lucky and it's usually just Hong Kong sales I find with many grammatical errors.

This is somewhat ridiculous. I am an occasional collector of toys and action figures, and I happened upon this auction for some Italian N.I.N.J.A. Mites, a sort of bootleg of the popular M.U.S.C.L.E. toys that most of us in our 30s will probably remember.

The price for what are essentially four inch-high pieces of moulded rubber is quite astonishing. But collectors of this line tend to be fanatics:

No sign of the credit crunch here :eek:

HEY! I remember MUSCLE figs. They came in like a small, plastic, clear cup and there were like a dozen of those guys stuffed in it. I had hundreds of those things. Are they rare these days? I haven't seen them in decades.

Hey, it's not that big a leap from the merits of rubber and plastic figures to the more esoteric pleasures of rubber and plastic clothing :cool:


@ gunsmoke: for the most part MUSCLE aren't rare, they made tens of millions of them and you can typically pick them up for less than 50 cents a figure, although there are a couple dozen or so very rare figures that fetch silly money
