Hi guys, my name is Chris and I just joined this forum (as well as the Facebook group yesterday) as I unearthed my little collection of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures from when I was a little kid... I grew up in Vancouver, Canada... specifically Richmond (and still live there) if anyone is from around here and I bought all my figures in 4 packs or 10 pack garbage cans whenever I had enough allowance money. I really loved playing with them and even built myself a little wrestling ring out of wood with rubber bands for the ropes.
Anyway, fast forward to more recent times and I was at a toy store and noticed some Masters of the Universe M.U.S.C.L.E. figures in that store and thought wow wouldn't that be great if those made a comeback?? My figures have been in storage for decades now and I grabbed the bag the other day at my parents house and started to go through them and being a current model car and Transformers and sometimes Funko collector, I had to look into what was going on with the scene here, stumbled onto the University site and then here.
Now, reading through this thread, I understand this is a heck of a first post, but in my little collection I do have one of these #131 guys in red. I can guarantee based on me being a little kid at the time that it definitely was in circulation, I didn't trade with any friends locally at the time and got all my figures (at least to my memory) out of trash cans or 4 packs... but I've taken a bunch of photos and hope that it helps contribute to the veracity of this figure indeed being real. I'm kind of excited to post it to verify further along with a few others that it does exist, but also nervous if some naysayers come along... but I guess that's the internet.
Anyway, I will let the photos speak for themselves. I tried to take detail shots as well as 1 where he is with my other red ones that were in the same storage for comparison:
