M.U.S.C.L.E MEN

One of my favorite toys, besides Wacky Wall Walkers, Garbage Pail Kids, and Clutch Poppers, were M.U.S.C.L.E MEN, those Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere back in the mid-80's. Riding the bus on the way to school, I swapped the miniature pink "intergalactic wrestlers" with other students. I even had the M.U.S.C.L.E Men Wrestling Ring. My good friend, knowing I had been looking for them during a previous visit to Traders World, recently bought 4 plastic bags full (157 of them) at a garage sell for me at a dirt cheap price. I was like an ecstatic little kid again when she handed them to me.

ALL 157
