The 4-Pack

Posted by Chad Perry in History, UofM News on August 11, 2009

The 4-pack packaging allowed for a child to see the four figures they would be purchasing. Today collectors can see the differences in English and French-Canadian cards, changes to the back of the cards, and consider the potential of 140 possible 4-pack combinations. This entry on the 4-pack is a subcategory of History 100.

These 14 Flesh 4-packs don’t offer any especially unique figures, but there are some fun sculpts in the various packs. This will be a fun lot for the winner.

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 M.U.S.C.L.E. Pre-Pack

Posted by Chad Perry in Advertising & Promotion, Course Catalog on June 16, 2009


Mattel needed to make an unfamiliar product familiar, and the Pre-Pack did this with wrestling and monsters. The art of the M.U.S.C.L.E. pre-pack is 100% unique. These images are not seen on any other M.U.S.C.L.E. item.
