Auction Watch #136

Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, UofM News on June 13th, 2013

If last week, and the last few weeks, was frustrating for M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors, then this week is a very welcome respite. This week the theme is Class A figures.

Auction Watch #69 (he he)

Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, History, Philosophy, UofM News on June 15th, 2011

It seems like this Auction Watch #69 should be fueled with passion, desire, and maybe a little name calling.

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

Posted by Chad Perry in History, UofM News on November 5th, 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 12th, 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.
