~*~ How the Images Were Made ~*~
"In 2023, deep in the depths of the crypto winter, I decided to finally bring my M.U.S.C.L.E. idea to life."
Collecting
The first step was to complete my collection. I had a random assortment of maybe 15 or so M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. I've only ever been interested in the pink ones ("flesh" colored, they call them), both because I don't really like how the other colors look, and most importantly, I only ever collected pink as a kid.
Using a checklist shared freely by a kind member of the M.U.S.C.L.E. forums at LittleRubberGuys.com, I started the process of scouring eBay every single day looking for every long lost M.U.S.C.L.E. figure I could find.
I put the checklist up on the wall, and my daughter and I spent months taping each little guy up to his spot as they arrived.
The Final Piece
After about half a year, I was nearing completion, but I was still missing one figure: The rarest of the "official" M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, #236, Satan's Cross. There are only ever a few of these up on eBay at any time, and they go for around $120-200.
Finally, I won an auction, and my collection was complete. In total, I spent just over $1000 to bring a childhood dream to life.
The Photography
The next step was to photograph them. As far as I have been able to find, there exists no high quality images of every single M.U.S.C.L.E. figure. I set out to change that.
I hired my friend Marques Creative, who's a professional photographer (it just so happens he does a lot of work with the WWE!), and we spent an entire day lovingly taking beautiful product shots of every figure: Front, back, and sides.
The Results
Each uncompressed image is 5533x7378 pixels, and 122mb. I offer these up for free to the community.
Finally, it came time to design the NFT distribution mechanism; it's quite unique.
