The 28-Pack

Posted by Chad Perry in History, UofM News on January 13, 2010

The 28-pack write-up has been long delayed because of the desire to add individual pictures of each 28-pack figure. Additionally, there are a few 28-pack pictures that also need to be taken. Instead of withholding the entire topic it seemed better to make the current information available; adding pictures and various improvements over time.

Literature 200 Completed

Posted by Chad Perry in Literature, UofM News on December 9, 2009

The only documented example of M.U.S.C.L.E. in a mail order catalog is the 1986 Sears Wishbook. Sears, along with Mattel and most advertisers, seemed unsure of the figures proper place – although the placement suggests probably the best understanding of the brand. Read more in Literature 200.

28-Pack Poster Offer – UPDATE

Posted by Chad Perry in Advertising & Promotion, Research, UofM News on November 17, 2009

The 28-Pack Poster Offer looked into the minutia of the poster-offer. Syosset, New York was one of the main topics of interest. John Delin, from A Syosset Scrapbook, attempted to help research further into the Syosset-M.U.S.C.L.E. connection.

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.

Literature 100 Completed

Posted by Chad Perry in Literature, UofM News on June 24, 2009

Mattel created catalogs for toy store owners to use as a reference as they ordered, or re-ordered, merchandise. M.U.S.C.L.E. first appeared in Mattel’s 1986 catalog. The next year was the final one for M.U.S.C.L.E in the Mattel catalog. The 1987 catalog makes it clear that M.U.S.C.L.E. was not a top priority.

The 10-Pack Display Case

Posted by Chad Perry in Advertising & Promotion, Course Catalog on June 17, 2009

The case was designed to hold 24 10-pack cans and was not featured in any Mattel catalogs. The top of the case, which becomes the banner over the opened case, is basically the front of the Cosmic Crunchers 28-pack. Garbage cans and an affordable price point would be the highlights of this piece.
