I was cleaning my garage last weekend and to my surprise I found 2 MUSCLE figures I owned as a kid!! I'm a 47 year old man and for a moment I was 7 again! I didn't want my 2 little muscle figures to be lonely so I checked on OfferUp and saw a lot of 200 figures for $190. The seller was close to me (I live in LA) so I went ahead and bought them. I figure 95 cents a figure aint bad. Hopefully I can complete my collection!
After 40 years I'm BACK to M.U.S.C.L.E.!

Which guys did you find? I still have a few from my childhood (I'm about the same age as you) and of course I bought a bunch more on ebay almost 20 years ago.

Welcome to LittleRubberGuys!
That is awesome! I am glad you were able to rekindle that nostalgia!
$1 per figure is not bad at all these days.
If you post pics. We can probably help you fill in some spots on the checklist.

I found #162 Kinnikuman Big Body A and #113 Kinnikuman Super Pheonix A. When I was a kid I had about 40 figures. I remember putting them away. I just cant find them!

Thanks!! I will post pictures. My 7 year old nephew helped me count and sort them out earlier today, he even helped me clean some with a toothbrush! I have 59 duplicates which I figure I can trade with other members.

I'm excited for you! It's a lot of fun, and there are a lot of resources available here for you to use. If you decide to start collecting the color versions, boy, that is a whole different ball game, but you can get a lot of figures that way! Welcome!
