Posted by Chad Perry in Advertising & Promotion, Research, UofM News on April 24, 2013

An auction’s price tag may have prevented these Nestle Quik M.U.S.C.L.E. figures from entering into any actual collections, but that doesn’t stop them from entering Advertising & Promotion 300’s Virtual Collection.

Auction Watch #127

Posted by Chad Perry in Anthropology, Auction Watch, History, UofM News on March 21, 2013

The goal of Auction Watch was to highlight the funny, unique, and interesting M.U.S.C.L.E. (and M.U.S.C.L.E.-related) items that show up on eBay. This week probably focuses most squarely on the interesting.

The universe may not want new posts on UofMUSCLE.com, but wants and needs don’t always line up. Sorry universe. And what better way to return to the world of M.U.S.C.L.E. toys than with some toys that make it easy and fun to enter the world of M.U.S.C.L.E. toys?
