| Post subject: | TimeMachine- MUSCLE |
Couldn't decide where it was appropriate to post this... but had to post up a pic. Finding these little guys brought back some pleasant childhood memories. I loved these things!  Some are a little worse for where, but it was fun sorting through them. Suprised I still have so many of them. Anyone else have love for MUSCLE? |

Lots of M.U.S.C.L.E. love here. I've got piles of them. There was a store in Mpls a while back that had tons of old stock. They had a fire in their store so they were selling all the surviving inventory super cheap. I think I paid about $10 for a couple grocery bags full of 4-packs. One of my favorite toys of the 80s. |

Here's what I've got. Never picked up any of the colored versions but the pink ones rocked my world!

The above pic is bringing back some vivid childhood memories. I remember so many of those! I'm sure mine are long gone, probably thrown out by my parents years ago. |

Awesome! Seeing so many of those that are now missing from my collection. Always loved that hand with the face on the middle finger. |

Always loved that hand with the face on the middle finger. his name was sneagator in japan. he was a shapeshifter that could take the shape of a shoe (sneaker). look through your figures -- any of them that have shoe laces on their chest and wearing sneakers are him as well. (there is a turtle and some lizard looking guy i know)

I was down in my drummers basement the other day, about to embark on a few hours of wargames nerdism, when I spotted a clear storage tub. Upon closer inspection I found it FULL of these. I remember them when I was a kid. I painted a few for some friends too, they're cool little figures! I don't remember the colored ones though, were they later? |

Great post... I had a bunch of these but they were all lost in the 1992 GREAT GARAGE SALE (tm). Still have the two little dudes on the foreground - but man did they take a beating. |

Heh. years ago I made a custom MUSCLE-  I still have him somewhere painted up. I've always wanted to have it cast in resin. Who wouldn't want a small Cthulhu Muscle? Phil |

OK. So there has been a lot of interest in one of my favorite MUSCLE figs from my original post. Here are some more pics of the little dude. Close ups of the back and the bottoms of the feet coming as soon as my camera battery recharges and I upload them.  And the other faces:

I used to have some of these guys too, I remember a neon green one made up of spheres the most, and a blue creature from the black lagoon type. |

Absolutely love Muscle. Makes me want to get my box of em out of storage. When ever I look at them I get warm fuzzy feelings. Now Im wondering how I could display them all I really want to pick up some of the 5 star vinyl pieces, those look real sweet. Also really dig the ccp versions. |
