Auction Watch #70
Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, UofM News on June 23rd, 2011
What could possibly top the sale of an Alpha Non-Poster figure last week? Not much.
But here are three of the best M.U.S.C.L.E. auctions this week.
Non-Poster M.U.S.C.L.E. Figures – Gamma
Posted by Chad Perry in Philosophy, Research, UofM News on February 15th, 2011
Details about each of the “Super Rare” M.U.S.C.L.E. figures can be found in History 300. The goal of Philosophy Philosophy 200 is to examine the mysteries that surround these figures in addition to presenting theories about the source and cause of “Super Rare” M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. This section focuses on the Non-Poster Gamma Figures.
Website Review #12
Posted by Chad Perry in UofM News on July 6th, 2010
The number of undiscovered M.U.S.C.L.E. websites is nearly zero. Most collectors are familiar with many of the longstanding websites. However there is one spot that seems to have the most undiscovered and constantly updating M.U.S.C.L.E. content – YouTube. This content ranges from unwatchable to stunning and is posted by both hardcore collectors and novices alike. Recently a YouTube video, M.U.S.C.L.E TOY REVIEW 1980s (HD), was discovered and it is the subject of Website Review #12.
Auction Watch #27
Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, UofM News on January 14th, 2010
It appears M.U.S.C.L.E. sellers have a bit of a holiday hangover, because buyers’ options are currently not very exciting or plentiful. However, there is an auction worth highlighting. It represents a conundrum that often faces M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors. The conundrum is price versus value.
Sociology 100 – Matthew
Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on January 11th, 2010
These photographs are an incredible discovery. None of the pictures feature a child playing with M.U.S.C.L.E. toys; instead the pictures were taken by a child. These pictures represent the actual perspective of a child playing with M.U.S.C.L.E. figures.
Sociology 100 – Ben Pierce
Posted by Chad Perry in Sociology, UofM News on January 9th, 2010
These childhood images, part of Sociology 100, were provided by Ben Pierce of Kitchener, Ontario (Canada).
A huge thank to Ben from the entire M.U.S.C.L.E. community.
Literature 200 Completed
Posted by Chad Perry in Literature, UofM News on December 9th, 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.
