Auction Watch #132

Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, UofM News on May 9, 2013

Single figure M.U.S.C.L.E. auctions have two interesting components: (1) they do not appear to be going away; and (2) many of the sellers seem both aware and oblivious to M.U.S.C.L.E. information.

Sociology 200 – Example #4

Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on June 24, 2010

Kyle recently shared some pictures of his nephew playing with M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. It is encouraging and heartwarming to see M.U.S.C.L.E. figures are still used and enjoyed by children over 20 years after their original release.

Sociology 200 – Example #3

Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on March 15, 2010

Whether it is a sexist preconceived notion, Mattel’s catalog, or only the lens of personal experience; many collectors simply think of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures as a “boy’s toy” instead of a toy. This modern M.U.S.C.L.E. moment captures the figures as simply toys, and reminds us of the incredible amount of creativity that M.U.S.C.L.E. figures provide a child.

Sociology 200 – Example #2

Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on February 11, 2010

Sociology 200 – Example #1

Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on January 5, 2010

These pictures are from the summer of 2009, likely June. My son, about 20 months old, had grabbed some extra figures that had been part of an eBay purchase. My plan to have everything neatly put away before he woke up was spoiled. It was probably the most fun I have ever had with M.U.S.C.L.E. figures.
