Hi, my name is Eli Fuller.
I have 260+ MUSCLE men.
It's hard to pick a favorite but ive always really liked this one I have
that
is Majenta and has wings on his back. But I like this new one I got that
is a
superdeformed japanese Ring Announcer with microphone.
Off the top of my head I could create thousands but one would be a fat
round
Sumo
wrestler with no legs so he just stands on his stomach.
The most I ever got at once was recently I got 75 in a big ziploc bag.
I remember the ring, me and my brother would slam those guys against
each
other
for hours. Until one day the Rubik's Cube looking guy was so tight in
those
plastic clips that you couldn't knock him out. But I did because one of
the
clips broke and I think the ring got thrown out.

I have 2538 M.U.S.C.L.E. with about 1/2 unopened 4pks.
My Favorite M.U.S.C.L.E. is the Claw.
I would create a different pose for the claw and then I'd make an eight
arm guy with all different types of arms.
The most amount I've ever recieved is 1200 or 300 4pks.
The thing that sticks out in my mind the most is buying my first 4 pk at

Hey, check it out. This must have been the old AKIA.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

Cool Find! I thought I had seen every American Kinnikuman site already.

Yep. I am surprised that the account didn't go inactive a few years ago. I still have all the old HTML and images on my HD somewhere from when I took it over from Rid. I should probably set up and archive section someday.

Kewl find Kevin!

[Kevin Mayle]

Wow, it's been a year and 12 days since I joined the forums with this thread. I started off strong and then kinda petered out. I'll have to check back more often and add some more art to this thread and the Kinnikuman Battle Art Challenge. I noticed that one is now shared with the Beastformer's board, so that's pretty cool.

hey Kevin, I can't wait to see you add more work to this thread!!!

I'd LOVE to see you do something for the thread BEAST V MUSCLE you mention on Beastformers too!

I thought the thread that you and Reccoom started was so good it was a shame not to have a BEAST V MUSCLE version!

btw I hope your illustration work is going well

[Reccoom Kaboom]

Glad to see you back on the horse. I've recently gotten back in the groove myself, so the timing's good for another face-off challange. Maybe an art exchange program, as well, where one person draws and the other adds color. maybe a chibi muscle art topic: muscle babies w/ a giant crib as a wrestling ring, diaper jokes, all kinds of fun. or maybe a comic strip series. anyhoo, glad yer back at it.

[Kevin Mayle]

Here's some fan art for you Darrin.

By the way, you can take all the art in this thread for fan art on the MUSCLE Guild.
There are hundreds of pictures, comics etc.

WOW.. Nice graphic! Thanks man!! I have one more fast food article I'm finishing up for the site, and then I'll be devoting my time towards building up M.U.S.C.L.E. content at The Guild. I'll be starting with the fan sections this weekend.
Thanks again!
