This one was tough for me. 138 is great because he's an anthropomorphic computer, and MUSCLEs based on every-day objects are pretty awesome. He also has a great close-up in the comic strip on the back of the 28-packs.

223 is pretty cool too, though. I always liked his lack of a face. It kind of made him somewhat creepy and interesting. But then again his body is pretty common in the MUSCLE universe, so I voted for 138.

#138 for me, but it’s not because I’m crazy about the figure or even because I think it looks good. I hate #223.

#223 has the stupidest hair. I hated it when I was a kid. I hate it now. It just strikes me as goofy - not in the fun way, but in the way that makes you punch someone in the mouth.

#138 is an ok figure. I think it would work even better with a more interesting face.

#138 by default.

I went with #138 as the more interesting and original concept of the two. However, I think the sculpt for #138 is a bit of a let down. It could have been so much better -- however, it's still got enough mojo to edge #223.

(And Veers, if I'm not mistaken, this is one of those cases where if you knew the storyline, you might feel differently. I believe the hair is wild on purpose. I think this sculpt is supposed to be a character wearing a costume to hide the identity of the character -- thus the hair is purposefully covering the dude's face.)

o.k. for real Muscleman is up against some of the awesomest figures in the whole line and region 1 has a computer with arms and legs and
some stupid looking mod. C O N S P I R A C Y :D


that said I went with 138 because its most likely to appeal to a girlfriend, spouse, mistress, or mother.

I hate Personalman. I've NEVER gotten an undamaged one. They all look like they've been sanpapered on their front, and it looks terrible on the figure.

I'll go for Robin Mask in a Mask.

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.

Really? There was a MUSCLE story? I know there is a Kinnikuman storyline, but I’m pretty sure there isn’t any MUSCLE storyline. :D

Oh, that’s right Nate. I forgot how that comic strip explained the significance of the figure’s hair – in the top right corner of the final panel. :D

That's right. Not only that, but it also shows the prominence of the computer character in the MUSCLE universe since he has a nice close-up. So, if we're going by MUSCLE storyline, you must vote for 138. :D

Easily 138. #223 always seemed pretty dull to me.

Not too go OT, but that comic stip has at least two non-MUSCLE sculpts in it.

138 is one of my favorite MUSCLE sculpts, due largely to my love of anthropomorphic objects, and partly to my love of robots. I welcome our robot masters with open arms! ^_^

223 is just some guy, and therefore cannot hope to win. What's more, as far as i know he may be a hippie, which puts him even further down on the list. Possibly one of my least favorite MUSCLEs ever. I think i might hate 223. :ph34r:

138 is kewl and unique, although not one for fighting. However, Mr Barracuda (223) really sucks balls in my opinion. Major lamer.

138 keeps fighter profiles and organizes fights. IF he ever gets into trouble he melts his enemies with his laser beam eyes.





EDIT: Though his disc drive seems carefully placed. :ph34r:

#138


Id like to imagine that this figure is the spawn of Bill Gates . Its purpose is to provide the masses with the best possible OS with cutting edge features, original styling and formats, new proprietary hardware and the ability to upgrade when it deems it necessary.

#138 is the beacon for a peaceful and prosperous Republic.

I hate Mr. Barracuda. I think he is the stupidest persona ever. Personalman was actually one of the first 10 muscles I ever got along with #16 Neptuneman, and The Yelling Geronimo sculpt. I love him, and played with him alot as a kid. I actually used to just look at him for a long period of time going bonkers on how cool and detailed he was. :lol: I used to think his hands were some weird suction cups. In fact at the time I had never seen a computer before, so I probably thought he was some crazy calculator t.v. man. ;)

Isn't it kind of weird to remember a point in your life that you never had seen a computer? I mean they had the things at the grocery store, but you didn't really think about it. I was more interested in the conveyor belt. :D

Mr. Barracuda gets my vote. Just a better playable figure. Lacks imagination, sort of a dull character and wasn't really a favorite of mine as a kid

Personal Computer is cool, but not very playable. As a kid, I'd be bored with him. Never had him, but if I did, I would've traded him off.

223 FTW, just more playable!!
