Sociology 300 – Chad Perry

Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on October 23, 2009

This SOC300 entry may read a bit awkwardly as the author wrote an entry about himself. There are no delusions of grandeur or extreme narcissism. The desire was to have an entry that had the same approach and tone as the other write-ups.

Only 2 M.U.S.C.L.E. Posters

Posted by Chad Perry in Advertising & Promotion, UofM News on October 5, 2009

In the previous 28-pack poster offer write-up there had been mention of a Color M.U.S.C.L.E. poster that was completely devoid of any Flesh M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. This is untrue.

The University of M.U.S.C.L.E. apologizes for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused. This mix-up only strengthens the need for all M.U.S.C.L.E. data to be organized and centralized in one location.

The 28-Pack Poster Offer

Posted by Chad Perry in Advertising & Promotion, UofM News on September 28, 2009

A piece of the 28-packs worthy of its own dissection is the poster offer. For many collectors it is specifically the small picture accompanying the poster offer that elicits discussion. No single piece of tangible M.U.S.C.L.E. information causes so much speculation. For many collectors it fuels the theory that all the Kinnikuman sculpts were originally slated for Mattel’s M.U.S.C.L.E. release. Others simply consider it a place-holding throwaway picture.

Sociology 100 Launched

Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on September 22, 2009

When Mattel launched M.U.S.C.L.E. their focus was clearly on selling M.U.S.C.L.E. figures to children. Over 20 years later those same children can be forgotten. Sociology 100 showcases M.U.S.C.L.E. figures in their original state – as children’s toys.

If you would like to submit pictures from your childhood, please email the pictures to the University of M.U.S.C.L.E..

Posted by Chad Perry in Course Catalog, History, UofM News on September 2, 2009

There are several M.U.S.C.L.E. items that collectors would likely categorize as rare. However there is only one M.U.S.C.L.E. item that can be 100% authenticated as a prototype M.U.S.C.L.E. item – the Hot Wheels M.U.S.C.L.E. HiWay Hauler.

History 400 explores the history of the M.U.S.C.L.E. and the Hot Wheels HiWay Hauler.
