I don’t know what everyone else thought, but four games seemed like too many. I think two games is a nicer balance. Maybe I’ll post four games as we head into the weekend.

I think I’ve started most of these posts with, “This is a tough choice.”

I think the choices will only continue to be more difficult. Anyways, I think I have to go with #189 for a few pretty simple reasons. Most importantly he’s just a fun figure. I think toy collectors often forget about toys being playthings. This figure spits fun in your eye.

His unique size and structure makes him stand out in the MUSCLE crowd. He has a very playable pose, probably the best pose a smaller figure could have. His upward stretched arms allow him to fly through the air or jump up and throw punches. Outward stretched arms would make him look like he was trying to hug someone’s calf.

#197 is a fantastic figure too. Great sculpt and a very cool, yet playable, pose. But he just doesn’t stand a chance next to #189. He loses points on blandness (he’s just a knight) and repetitiveness (there are lots of knight-type figures). If I had to choose one knight figure it would be #180, but that doesn’t take away from #197 being a great figure.

I’ll be curious to see how far fun will take #189. He’s a cool figure, but will he stand up against other unique and cool figures?

My vote is #189

Ah man! Why did you have to pit these two against each other! ;) Even If I could vote 10 times for Robin Mask, he would still lose. :D

Don't get me wrong! This is a tuff choice! I actually really like Meat as a figure, and in the Kin story I like Meat way more then Robin, but I really really LIKE this Robin Mask Sculpt. He is just smooth! There are only 3 pose figures I actually like, and this one is number 2 out of those three. Number one is TerryMan with Texas on his shirt, and #222 Kinnikuman.

Shoot. ^_^ Ah well, I reckon he would have lost eventually. But I just like this Robin Mask sculpt, and I wouldn't be fare to myself if I didn't vote for the figure I really like the most.

***Just a side note. The Meat sculpts have one flaw, and it's the reason I don't like them as much I would like to. Their head size are combative with their feet size, and on top of that the excess flashing and sprue on their feet like to keep them from standing effectively! I've never owned one that could actually stand flatfooted. That's my only critique. Still wonderful figures though.

#189 All the way for me!

Meat was always my favorite Muscle.Look at this guy he has everything going for him,
The ready to fly away pose,His two front teeth,A little cape.The fact that he has Meat for a name. ^_^
I've been dying for this little guy to enter the tournament so I could have an easy vote.
Then he gets pinned up against a Robin Mask sculpt I can't stand,
So once again this was Really easy for me.

and always remember guys eat your Meat and skip the veggies. ;)

189 easily wins this one for me. He's another one of my top-five favorite MUSCLEs. As a kid, I was a huge 189 fan and vowed to get him in all of his colors. Purple 189 was my favorite MUSCLE for quite a while.

He's also a baby figure, which gives him some distinction. And of all the baby figures, he's clearly the most expressive and interesting. Because of his vast open maw, as a kid I pretended that his super-power was a deafening and destructive scream. And he has a cape and outstretched arms so he can seem like he's flying.

I also love 197. It's a cool, strong pose, and the cape really gives the figure some authority. Unfortunately, I seem to have difficulty getting 197 to stand sometimes.

Regardless, 197 pales in comparison to the awesomeness that is 189. Vote 189! ^_^

Meat all the way here, no regrets or hesitation. I have a fierce love for the tiny figures.

I didn't know when i was a kid that he was his own character, i thought he was Muscleman after getting hit with some sort of shrink ray, like when Shredder turns the Ninja Turtles back into baby turtles in the arcade game. ^_^

What he said. As great a sculpt that Robin Mask is, he can't beat SuperBaby!

Man! Robin seems to be holding up pretty well. I didn't expect that. Maybe things will change soon.

Yeah, I thought 189 would steamroll 197. But 197 is holding his own! It's understandable... it is a pretty cool figure. But come on... where are the Super Baby fans?! ^_^
