Talk:Kinkeshi

Untitled

Why is the link to the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures (M.U.S.C.L.E. Men) being changed back to "M.U.S.C.L.E.?" M.U.S.C.L.E. erraniously directs to Kinnikuman, and while is a derivitive, is a reference to the storyless import of the kenkeshi line. Directing links to kinnikuman when they reference the M.U.S.C.L.E. toys doesn't make any sense!!!　216.79.146.128 10:02, August 23, 2006

C.U.T.I.E.

There's no mention of C.U.T.I.E. here. Mattel marketed them as M.U.S.C.L.E. for girls (although girls often liked both and guys didn't like C.U.T.I.E.), but were they based on anything that was altered on import the way M.U.S.C.L.E. was? --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 16:50, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Licensed Brands

How should we treat the wide array (often neither Japanese nor wrestling) of franchises that have received lines of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures? I've spotted WWE, Mega Man, Alien, Masters of the Universe, to name but a few. Theclaw1 (talk) 00:11, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Erasers(?) & models

Wait, you could actually erase with them? I must've had (and might still have?) nearly a hundred of the first gen ("dried out baseball card bubblegum pink" might be a more accurate color) and never even tried it, but they always seemed to be such a tough rubber that it would've just torn through the paper.

Anecdotally (thus useless OR), aside from the wrestlers, there were also a number of others that seemed loosely based on/lifted from other Japanese pop culture icons. Offhand, I seem to remember a couple clear Godzilla knockoffs (since many existed in two or more slightly different molds), and others that seemed to be based on Astroboy/Mighty Atom. I may have even recognized a Transformer or two in there. Batshiitake (talk) 04:07, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
