... And now bit of 1980's Toy history:

M.U.S.C.L.E. (Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere) the name of the toy-line of Kinkeshi figures sold in North America.

The two-inch tall monochromatic PVC gum wrestling figures toy from 1985 to 1988.

The M.U.S.C.L.E. figures were based on the Japanese toy-line called kinkeshi. Kinkeshi were based on a manga and anime called Kinnikuman, and some figures were based on anime-only characters. The main hero was Kinnikuman, who, in the US, was “Muscleman” and was the leader of the “Thug Busters”. He was described as the “greatest wrestling champion”. The only other named figure in the US line was Buffaloman, who was renamed “Terri-Bull,” and was said to be the leader of the “Cosmic Crunchers”.
Some of the figures were sculpted to resemble popular wrestlers who had competed in Japan such as Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes, Abdullah The Butcher, and Jushin “Thunder” Liger.

The first shipment of figures were all a “bubble-gum” pink colour that the collecting community calls “flesh”. The second shipment was a half-and-half mixture of flesh and either dark blue, red, or purple figures. The third shipment contained no flesh figures, only dark blue, red, purple, magenta, salmon, lime green, neon orange, and light deals blue. Five figures came with the board-game in an exclusive grape or light purple colour.

Still popular today, collectors continue to make the line a viable hobby.
