Yes, the nuts will continue to pay bat-shit-crazy prices regardless of what any guide says. That makes for a pretty good segue into my next point. lots with "Class A" in their headline, without one Class A actually being in the lot! It's gotten so bad that I've seen fairly large M.U.S.C.L.E. Hell, it even showed figures in colors they were never produced in! And that was before the class system as we know it today was in widespread use. Back when the old muscledb was around, it became so corrupted that it was absolutely useless as a gauge of a figure's rarity. community-there's absolutely no ambiguity about it. I'm not trying to slight Al here, but these things have happened in the M.U.S.C.L.E. Things which have happened in the MUSCLE community more than likely. I believe they're just saying that as soon as we start labelling certain figures as 'rare' etc then it opens up the floodgates for certain people to start trying to manipulate prices, scam others, becomes obsessive/aggressive collectors etc. I used that site to create my Monstruos Mutante and Cromy MIMP checklist. I didn't know you were the one who created Little Weirdos. I need to look up the old MIMP threads here and mine them for more data. I think the consensus is that most of the "rare" neons originated in France. Yeah I am not at all stuck on "rare" as the given terminology. Maybe instead of "rare" the terminology should be "location specific" or something like that? Although, I'm not sure if there's comprehensive knowledge about exactly which figures were limited to a specific location. Plus the whole question of whether certain figures are genuinely rare or if they're just called rare because they were only available in a specific country. I think it would be really helpful to new collectors in terms of giving a sense of what to expect in their search and provide some direction.Īt the same time I think the challenge is that there can be big gray areas on what can and should qualify as "rare," especially with some figures-and that some are not common but also not quite rare. When I got into collecting MIMP more aggressively I was actually surprised something like this didn't already exist (at least that I could tell). As you know from Facebook I am interested in this idea and like what you put together (still need to take a closer look ).
