ya now we can finally get a ring with open action... I can easily see Mattel recognizing it's M.U.S.C.L.E. brand and using its WWE license to run wild with. Imagine a new playset figure combo coming out like every other month
No doubt. The inside of my wallet would look like a Gacy crime scene.

IF they redid MUSCLE, and they DID elect to do some of the two part figures, how butt hurt would you guys be, if they glued the pieces together during assembly?

nice write-up
Thanks.
I try to not regurgitate too much info/content from other blogs that I follow. Chad's write up was really great, and I really liked the points that were raised in it... Mine was more of a "Here's how we can fool Mattel into making our beloved toys again".
That being said, If you could only pick ten of the MUSCLE figures to be included in the hypothetical revival line, which would you pick?

Mixing WWE, WWF Legends and pushing some to the extreme as monster / beast / superheroes or else (like the Bull-headed The Rock) could sure tap both into nostalgia fans (both of wrestling, M.U.S.C.L.E. or outlandish 1980's antics) and get some kids hooked since those are cheap, fun and zany figures.
After all the original M.U.S.C.L.E. had a complex backstories based on the Japanese Kinnikuman Manga but were imported as almost generic weirdo wrestler. Only the name of the good guys and bad guys boss were named, and the whole "story" was set on 1 to 4 panels comics on the backer cards. Still, they were cheap, fun and were a good success for such a little cash-in line and are still fondly liked today from collector and 1980's kids who had them.
Mattel having the WWE license and using it to bring back outrageous brawler mini figure in bucket of cheapo bubblegum-colored rubber figs is just perfect.
Bringing back Muscleman and Buffaloman design-wise would surely mean getting back to Bandai for the likeness, both otherwise the whole packaging, team name and (little) backstory all come from Mattel so they must have kept it.
I could see them start of simply as M.U.S.C.L.E. using WWE guy, and either re-licence Kinnikuman design to build on the line or simply re-design Muscleman and Buffaloman to have "in-house" characters to solidify this brand and expand it further on their own.

It sure would be nice to have a reason to bring back the poster offer on the back of the 28-packs...If Mattel brings back M.U.S.C,L.E. proper, maybe we can convince them to make some of the Non-M.U.S.C.L.E. sculpt kinkeshi figures, like the swastika-less Brocken Jr, and the Ultra-Spiky Warsman.
