This page is dedicated to the greatest toy ever. In the mid 80's, BANDAI began to manufacture a line of action figures with hundreds of different appearances. These figures were taken from a Japanese comic book and cartoon known as Kinniku man(MUSCLE MAN) about intergalactic wrestling. Mattel had the honor of distributing them to the eager children of America.
MUSCLEs were packaged in 4 packs for 99 cents. They also came in translucent garbage cans- 10 per can for a few bucks. 28 came in long flat boxes and had figures that were not in other packs. As sales decreased, more colors were added to the one colored spectrum: Dark blue, light blue, red, magenta, orange, neon orange, purple, and neon green.Since so many people prefer the original pink color I present my Pink M.U.S.C.L.E. Archive. I also have come across some figures that were only available with the board game.They are my light purple M.U.S.C.L.E.S.
The MPS has a very important purpose; to bring back the MUSCLEs! Toy lines have been resurrected in the past, like transformers and star wars POTF. It can be done with your help. We are developing a petition that all will be invited to sign. We will send this to BANDAI and/or Mattel. Check back in some time to sign it and help put MUSCLES back on the market.
