That ain't soft-serve on his head.



Your ******* me :lol:

Are you serious?


As a heart attack. Benkiman is a urinal. With a pile of poo on his head. Guess that one slipped by the overprotective folks at Mattel when they were culling out Nazis and aborigines from the original line.




Why is the poop on his head? I've never been to Japan but I can assume that it's probably not common practice to crap on top of the urinals right? I'm just wondering where the inspiration for this figure comes from?

Ok, I’ve stepped back and thought about it.

#157 strength is his detail. Even the sword has fine details, where a solid sculpt could have been used. While other MUSCLE’s have armor, this figures is different from all others. And while he doesn’t seem to have a playable sculpt, I remember that not mattering when I was a kid. I think the look of this figure is so strong that it overrides any playability issues. In fact, I believe this figure has more detail than most modern figures.

#15 is an amazing figure too. Sure he’s cool because he a brick wall, but this figure becomes cooler as an adult. When I was a kid I remember using his as an oracle, or something for other MUSCLE’s to jump off. But I never had more than one figure. Only as an adult have I seen people make #15 “walls.”

#157 is my choice.

On the issue: Sunshine's Arch. I had three growing up, and they rocked. Granted, I loved the sword wielding guy, but not as much as the Arch.

On Mister Pee: The manga version of Mr. Pee had crap on his head. The anime version had a water tap to wash his hands. http://www.toriyamaw...com/kinnikuman/ Check issue eight or so, about chapters 7-9.

Our glorious Milky Way is a tiny, infinitesimal speck of sand in this vast, incomprehensible universe. And somewhere in that Milky Way is our own solar system, less than one billionth of that speck of sand that is the Milky Way. And then there is our planet Earth, one hundred trillionth of that one billionth of that one speck of sand. And on this planet Earth there is DEV-0, an insignificant blemish with a lifespan too short to measure when placed in infinite time.

And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

These two sculpts represent all that is great with M.u.s.c.l.e.

On the one hand just a friggin awesome unique sculpt still popular with architechs on the other a cool gladiator type that would probably still be popular with sword and sorcery types.
I guess reading all those TSR novels as a kid makes me bais towards 157.
