when i was a kid i saw the muscleman cartoon here in belgium - I also remembered that in the mid-eighties they sold the toys in small plastic bags. but at that moment i was into transformers and gi joe so i never bought any of them - also as soon as the cartoon stopped i never saw the toys again in shops.
So today on a fleamarket looking for transformers, gi joe and everything else i collect, i came to a weird asian guy - he looked a bit like an overweight Miyagi (no disrespect intended). he had a few boxes with lots of small toys. I would have bought a lot of them since most looked really cool but he sold them for 50 cent (around 0,75 dollarcent) and since i didn't know anything about them I only bought what i knew - which was amongst other 2 muscleman figures (it turned out to be tileman and king cobra)
I've tried to identify a few of the other figures I saw but i could only find a few - one was a black blockman - and the other looked like a bluegreen guy with a hole in his head (I think i saw both on a MUSCLE man page) other toys were light blue ninja guys (about same size and type of muscleman) - one wassitting downand another had a giant shuriken on his back - didn't find anything about them and couldn't identify them. Also a greenalien dude with a carver knfe (a bit comicallooking)
so anyway it really got me into the MUSCLE toyline - and it doesn't take a lot of space which is very positive in a small room filled with toys.
is there a site where i can find any info on the caracters and their cartoon appearance? EDIT ok i found the Muscle wikipedia :-)
