FREE: #2 BLAST FROM THE PAST*** M.U.S.C.L.E.

The listing, #2 BLAST FROM THE PAST*** M.U.S.C.L.E. has ended.

These M.U.S.C.L.E. figures are from the mid 80s. The meaning of M.U.S.C.L.E. -- Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere... And these are the only ones I could find out of the hundreds we used to have when the kids were little
These little wrestlers were taken from a Japanese comic book and cartoon, Kinnikuman (Muscle Man), which is about intergalactic wrestling. Originally they were produced by Bandai/Japan in the mid 80s. Mattel distributed them in the USA.
M.U.S.C.L.E. figures have a "cryptic" writing on the back that reads like Y/S.N.T. Information from Ian Cranston is that this is the copyright info for the series Kinnikuman:
Y = Yudetamago, the author of the manga
(all 50 or so volumes of it)
S = Shueisha, the publishing company of the manga
(and other ones like Fist of the North Star
N = NTV, the network the cartoon was broadcast on
T = Toei, the animation company that did the cartoon Kinnikuman
(and Fist of the North Star, Saint Seiya, etc.)
All the M.U.S.C.L.E figure shown have these marks on the backs..
HAPPY BIDDING ALL
