The Official Nintendo Player’s Guide

Posted by Chad Perry in History, Literature, UofM News on April 13, 2011

By closely examining The Official Nintendo Player’s Guide a much clearer picture emerges regarding how companies like Mattel and Nintendo marketed to their clientele. Hindsight allows for a much clearer picture regarding the things that Nintendo did correctly regarding their brand, and the things that Mattel failed to do with the M.U.S.C.L.E. brand.

Tag Team Match M.U.S.C.L.E. Video Game

Posted by Chad Perry in History, UofM News on March 9, 2011

It seems that almost every brand of toys has one particular item that collectors like to ridicule. For M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors that particular item is the Tag Team Match M.U.S.C.L.E. video game. The flaws and shortcomings seem obvious with the advantage of perfect hindsight. However, the real challenge is looking at the positive aspects of the game.

Auction Watch #49 – Belt 1 and Belt 2?

Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, History, Research, UofM News on July 29, 2010

Currently on eBay there is an auction for the M.U.S.C.L.E. Battlin’ Belt. Normally a loose belt with a few Flesh figures does not demand any special recognition. However, in the world of M.U.S.C.L.E. minutia, this auction is quite noteworthy.

M.U.S.C.L.E. NES Video Game Release Date

Posted by Chad Perry in History, Research, UofM News on July 1, 2010

As efforts have increased to add the Tag Team Match M.U.S.C.L.E. to History 200 some editing of the original write-up has also begun. Through that editing a curious topic arose, “What was the actual release date for the game?”

PEZ HiWay Hauler Custom

Posted by Chad Perry in Art, History, UofM News on March 5, 2010

The Hot Wheels M.U.S.C.L.E. HiWay Hauler is an item of great interest in the M.U.S.C.L.E. community. Because this prototype item is so rare, most collectors have focused on creating their own custom HiWay Haulers. The Rite Aid Pez truck seems to be the perfect base to create a custom M.U.S.C.L.E. Truck Pez dispenser.

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.
