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.

The goal of the University of M.U.S.C.L.E. was to collect as much M.U.S.C.L.E. information as possible and house it in one location – with the hope that people would make discoveries or uncover unseen information based on their new understanding of “all” the information. The first example of this synergistic approach has occurred.

Sociology 100 Launched
Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on September 22, 2009
When Mattel launched M.U.S.C.L.E. their focus was clearly on selling M.U.S.C.L.E. figures to children. Over 20 years later those same children can be forgotten. Sociology 100 showcases M.U.S.C.L.E. figures in their original state – as children’s toys.
If you would like to submit pictures from your childhood, please email the pictures to the University of M.U.S.C.L.E..
