Auction Watch #68

Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, UofM News on June 9, 2011

Last week the University of M.U.S.C.L.E. tried formatting Auction Watch a little differently. It does not appear that the change was either positive or negative. This week another approach will be tested. Will it be interesting or will things go back to normal next week?

New Literature Discovery

Posted by Chad Perry in Literature, Research, UofM News on February 22, 2010

Recently the University of M.U.S.C.L.E. made over a dozen new literature discoveries. Many of the discoveries may force the creation and/or complete reconstruction of the Literature courses. Sadly there have been many challenges posting comprehensive updates. However, the discovery of the November 1986 issue of Working Mother seemed too exciting not to share.

The M.U.S.C.L.E. Mega-Match Game

Posted by Chad Perry in History, UofM News on November 5, 2009

The Mega-Match board game is effectively absent from any Mattel and M.U.S.C.L.E.-related documents of the eighties. This does not make the game an accidental oddity that reached the marketplace. The board game is actually very common and, to some degree, regarded as the least exciting aspect of the M.U.S.C.L.E. brand by many collectors. This does not mean there aren’t a few interesting aspects of the board game.

Manufacturing Error Figures

Posted by Chad Perry in Research, UofM News on October 12, 2009

M.U.S.C.L.E. figures were created using an injection molding process. This process reduces cost, increases efficiency, and produces an outstanding final product. However, it is impossible to have a 100% perfect production process. Errors and slight abnormalities will occasionally arise.
