I know the instinct is to instantly vote for #60, but take a hard objective look at both figures.

#87 is a pretty crazy figure. His head is smashed in and he’s looking through his chest. This figure always fascinated me as a kid, and at the same time confused me. Was he a wimp because he had his head smashed in, or was he a total badass because he kept fighting with his head smashed in?

The figure really has a nice design. Muscular body, with a pretty standard human look – but his skin is textured. I imagined it was his pliable skin, which he must have if his head can be smashed in. The head, or lack of head, is really interesting. I never knew what the collar around his head actually was, but it seemed cool. And his eyes are a very cool choice.

Now I like #60. He definitely had great playability. And maybe he was relatable to kids because we’d look little a weak if we were fighting monsters and brick walls.

But #60 was playable because I also had #189. He had to transform Superman/Shazam-style to be able to fight. Without #189 he’s just a unique, cool looking, wimp.

I like #60. He’s very cool, and very unique – but #87 is the better figure.

I went with #60. It was a bit of a tough choice, but to be honest #87 doesn't do anything for me.

This is a HARD one. a VERY hard one. On one hand, we have a really cool and unique figure without an obvious head. That. Is. Awesome. I never knew why he didn't have a head, but everyone was afraid of 'em. If I had known what a Zombie was, I'd probably have assumed he was a zombie.

And then there's Meat, who will probably win. However, this is the weak Meat. He's got "Niku" on his shirt. I never cared for the "Niku" word. It was mysterious, and assumably his name. If he would've had Pandaman on his front, which would've looked like some random blobs and had an odd pattern, I'd probably go with Meat. But as it is, the "Niku" rubbed me wrong as a kid, and I'll go with the Child's Logic.

Headless Guy FTW.

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.

This is probably the most difficult choice yet for me. Both figures are awesome, and both deserve to go far in the tournament.

#60 is another great baby figure. Everybody loved him when they were kids and he's probably one of the most iconic MUSCLEs. He's not as cool as super-baby because he's not as easy to play with, but he has enough character to be really fun.

#87 was in the first MUSCLE assortment that I bought, and he's always been one of my favorite MUSCLEs. As a kid, I didn't make the connection that he was a volcano. Instead, I thought that his head was blown off, and he developed eyes in his chest so he could see. This gave him plenty of play value.

Also, I think that his textures are interesting, and his stance is good for action-oriented play. So I went with 87.

To tell why I didn't vote for 60, well I love the baby figures but you've got to choose your battles and I think this guy will get the blunt end of the stick about the face and neck for all the people who are voting against baby figs. He is fun to pretend like he is playing basketball SLAM DUNK

vote for 87

Since i have no emotional attachment to the underdog (#60) in this case its easy for me.
His competitor is a smashed head , muscular mutant with with what looks like an anal orifice on his head :lol: . I know its supposed to be a volcano but it looks like a flesh toned orifice. So in my imagination i see no chance of the small guy beating "***hole man". He might erupt..and that wouldnt be good.

I can also easily imagine him yelling (from where ?) "Get In MY BELLY!" to that little pip squeak.

#60 is small...looks defenseless and has a balloon head. His destruction is imminent.

Divide & conquer works because of attachments people make to push-button issues, individual "leaders," parties, clans, tribes, policies, or agendas, leaving them open to manipulation.

I'm going with Magnitude man! I don't like this Niku sculpt, compared to the super meat sculpt he is lacking. In fact isn't this the sculpt of Niku when Buffaloman knocked him to pieces?

As soon as I get a Flesh or Salmon version of Magnitude Man, I'll never look at him the same again.
