Okay, I know here in the US, we generally have a high opinion of Japanese Kinnikuman items. Anyone have any idea how MUSCLE is viewed over seas? Taka, Uoozoman, AK?

I have absolutley no idea. However, I would hope that they would hold them as high as we do Kinnikuman. They probably don't though, they might think that M.U.S.C.L.E.'s are more of a copy of Kinnikuman, where we hold Kinnikuman as the foundation of M.U.S.C.L.E.'s.

I have no idea... but I am going to sell one of my MUSCLE T Shirts on Yahoo Japan this week. It will be interesting to see how it does. I am also going to put up some of my colored MUSCLE. Whenever any of my wife's Japanese friends come over, and they see my MUSCLE stuff, they are blown away that there is an American version.

As far as Muscle goes, I am unsure. However, from my observations, they love damn near anything american over there ie... Elvis, Disneyland stuff, and clothes with English writing on them regardless of what it says. While I was in Kumamoto, I saw a young girl wearing a T-shirt that said Slut, and bee-eye-itch etc... So I imagine that they would dig our Muscles.

I've actually had people from Japan e-mail me to commend me on my site. They usually found my site because the word "Kinnikuman" was listed throughout. They were very excited to see that their Beloved toyline and comics inspired a toyline here. They were very pleased with the colors, as well as the accesories, but usually felt sorry for us because we couldn't enjoy the cartoon like they did.
Cheers
