Hey guys! Came across these guys at Gamestop the other day for $3.99. Picked up the whole set. I then ordered another set and I'm planning on keeping one as they are, and painting the others. Has anyone else done this? I feel like they're almost asking to be painted and while the original look is neat, I think a bit of color would really bring them to life.

They are very cool figures. Very retro. If you have the abilities you should definitely paint a set. Not sure how they will go when painted but you will need to seal them for sure. I remember the original M.U.S.C.L.E. figures I had as a kid were very rubbery.

I prefer them unpainted and keeping them like the original line.

I've seen them painted and they look awesome. I'd give it a try if I found another set.

RawIsWar I was back and forth looking at them at my local GameStop. Childhood nostalgia said BUY, adult with responsibility said what would you do with these neat little bits of yesteryear... PAINT them is the answer I needed, going to GS after work tomorrow.

I'd be interested to see how they look painted, but they definitely match the original MUSCLE line more this way.

Thanks for the heads up! The only place I found them at was Five Below. I didn't know of any other store carrying them lol.

Man I would freaking kill for these! They are so cool. Anyone know if these are available in the UK? I have seen the Masters of the Universe ones, but not the WWE.

people have been painting M.U.S.C.L.E. figures for years so there is alot of material and guides online to help.

RawIsWar How hard did you find it to get the detail at that scale?

That is amazing man, please keep posting these as you go.
I really wish I had the talent to do something like this. I tried customizing some Hasbro's a few years back and I just do not have the skill and especially the steady hand to do something like this, especially at this scale.

Why I stopped doing any customs that needed anything more than just part swapping.

RawIsWar How hard did you find it to get the detail at that scale? Thank you guys so much!! It was actually a bit harder than I thought, but rewarding in the end. I did the skin tone first, and if I went over where the black should be, I just let it dry (it dries fast) then painted over it. The eyes I did with a toothpick. I started with Andre because he had a similar look
