Kyle recently shared some pictures of his nephew playing with M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. It is encouraging and heartwarming to see M.U.S.C.L.E. figures are still used and enjoyed by children over 20 years after their original release.

Sociology 200 – Example #3

Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on March 15, 2010

Whether it is a sexist preconceived notion, Mattel’s catalog, or only the lens of personal experience; many collectors simply think of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures as a “boy’s toy” instead of a toy. This modern M.U.S.C.L.E. moment captures the figures as simply toys, and reminds us of the incredible amount of creativity that M.U.S.C.L.E. figures provide a child.

Sociology 100 – Matthew

Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on January 11, 2010

These photographs are an incredible discovery. None of the pictures feature a child playing with M.U.S.C.L.E. toys; instead the pictures were taken by a child. These pictures represent the actual perspective of a child playing with M.U.S.C.L.E. figures.
