Sociology 300 – Lucas Rage

If the response to Sociology 300 questionnaire gauged the level of M.U.S.C.L.E. love and devotion, then Lucas Rage would be placed as the top, exemplar score.

Lucas is simply stunningly interesting and devoted to M.U.S.C.L.E.

Sociology 200 – Example #1

These pictures are from the summer of 2009, likely June. My son, about 20 months old, had grabbed some extra figures that had been part of an eBay purchase. My plan to have everything neatly put away before he woke up was spoiled. It was probably the most fun I have ever had with M.U.S.C.L.E. figures.

Sociology 300 – Matthew G.

Matthew G., known as Nyarlathotep on LittleRubberGuys.com, was willing to be a Sociology 300 participant. He is an interesting participant because he has only recently started collecting M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. Matthew is able to provide a truly novice perspective on modern M.U.S.C.L.E. collecting.

Sociology 300 – Chad Perry

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.

Sociology 100 Launched

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..
