Anyone else heard of these guys and own any?

And I totally dig their collabs with MxMxM and Punk Drunkers...





Anyone know where I can even PICK UP these guys?!

There's been a few mentions of the company, particularly their Sunshine figure. I think they make some nice stuff.
Grumble carries them. Check the pre-order section.

Damn! Thanks for the lead!
I LOVE the vintage, yet Neo look of them. Though I believe the wrestling characters are based off of a manga/anime? Still rockin!

Characters are from Kin-niku man.

Yep, AKA M.U.S.C.L.E.S in the US. good times. Thanks for the heads up though.

Thanks for posting these, first time I see them. They look pretty awesome!

I never even noticed them on pre-order at Grumble! Thanks for the lead again! REALLY trying to score one of those collabs above. MxMxM are sold out on that wicked colorway.

These guys would put up a good fight with some old Marusan Masked Mascaras!

is it just me or does the dude pictured look like the president of medicom's evil twin brother

I was thinking the same thing.

I just got the flesh color Sunshine from Grumble.
Seriously my favorite toy right now. Oh and its HUGE
I only wish I had them ALL!

I never got over my love for Kinnikuman, and I seriously wanted to pick up one of these Sunshine guys. With these reviews now I am tempted even more so. I would love one of the tag team sets too, but they are a bit out of my price range.

Big hunk o' fun!

HOLY SOFUBI!

Wow, that is GIGANTIC!

LOVe that picture! Walk of shame and defeat!

sunshine is one of my favorites. he's such an ass in the comics haha

Heh...yeah, I preordered that unpainted pinky Sunshine from Grumble, too. Can't wait to get him!

Fivestar is pretty dope...I've got a few like the Buffaloman and unpainted blue Ashuraman...thanks to Daniel for the lead when that went up on Mandarake! Great toys--whether you're a fan of Kinnikuman/M.U.S.C.L.E. or not. They're just BIG, beefcake toys!

I will get the 6-arms guy within 2 weeks, i will post a picture once i havé it

Hell FREAKIN YES!
Can't WAIT for pics! Might be tempted to have one shipped myself!

I have a mix of painted and unpainted ones...I don't know how I feel about that. I don't really collect unpainted figures, per se....but I kinda dig these because they totally feel like Jumbo-sized versions of the original MUSCLE figures from the 80's!

sigh...I really think i'd enjoy collecting these, but damn they're pricey! aren't there like 100+ character designs in the original line?

I get your point and agree. I think the m.u.s.c.l.e's minis that came out were so cool and completely collectible but I really don't see the appeal of the full size figures. Maybe buying one or two at the most but I think for me (as a child) part of the appeal was to buy a shit load of them.

God damnit. I have always wanted all of them. I can just imagine a big collection of them looking so perfect together. I do find it kind of odd that they don't do more unpainteds, especially in flesh.

Where's Brocken Jr. and Warsman?

or Benkiman?

236...roughly.

I agree: the appeal of the original keshigomu was the sheer critical mass of them. I have a few dozen of my favorites as a kid (and ones I always wanted), and I'm cool with that. I'm not a completist with these guys. Similarly, I think I'm just going to get my favorite characters among the FiveStar lineup...
