Owner's Description
This 9.8 is the single highest graded MM31 in the census. Not bad for a small time collector!! This was an upgrade from a 9.4, which I still own. I had to do some haggling, but in the end it snagged the 9.8...part of the competitive fun of collecting. I've seen 3 more MM31 added to the census in the past few years, but no high grades.
Interesting story...Dr. Magnus builds a 2nd team of Metal Men, Silver for Gold, Cobalt for Iron, Osmium for Lead (Lead calls him Ozzy...haha), Gallium for Mercury, Iridium for Platinum and Zinc for Tin. This was the first appearance of "Darzz The Dictator" as the villain. Darzz animates a skyscraper, which reminds me of a scene from the movie "Big". Ultimately, Osmium (I believe the densest known element) smashes Darzz. Dr. Magnus was more impressed with this 2nd group of Metal Men which causes the Metal Men to quit and leave Magnus (what a surprise). Love the goofy storylines!!
