The M.P.S. online petition to MATTEL |
|
|
|
|
|
One of the
original goals of The M.P.S. way back in the 90's was to get the
M.U.S.C.L.E toy line re-released. We started an online petition
to MATTEL, and all electronic signatures were sent to me via
e-mail. I then put them into a petition online for MATTEL to
see. The public relations gals that worked there at the time
got to know my name real well.
See the first letter
we sent to MATTEL in 1999
About a year
had passed since my first letter was sent, when I got an e-mail from
the product manager of the Male action figures division at
MATTEL. He thanked me for all of the info I had sent such as
letters and copies of The M.U.S.C.L.E. Times. While he said he
wasn't allowed to comment on toy lines currently in development, he
did say that if there were plans to resurrect the M.U.S.C.L.E. toy
line, he'd definitely let us know first.
Below are some
of the electronic signatures we got from M.U.S.C.L.E. fans urging
MATTEL to bring M.U.S.C.L.E. Back. These are only petition
inquires with comments. We had many more votes that didn't
include stories and content. It's amazing to me how many people
felt like they had to explain to MATTEL in words why they needed to
bring back the toy line. There are some great stories and
experiences here that solidify just how great of a toy line
M.U.S.C.L.E. is!

In the wake of current pro-wrestling
popularity, something that has
resurged since its first mid-80's high-point, M.U.S.C.L.E.S. too should
be deserved of such a resurgence. With the boundless possibilities
for
the tie-in of these two cultural heavy-weights, Mattel should not
be
remiss in its duty to reintroduce its mini, plastic muscle men.

To whom it may concern:
As an avid toy collector, I write this letter to recommend the
re-release of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. Currently, the trend toward
small, collectible figures seems to be growing (ie. Pokemon, etc.)
and children love the satisfaction of completing a collection or
acquiring a rare piece. As a child, I collected M.U.S.C.L.E.
figures, and I'd like my kids to have the same opportunity. And, or
course, I think it would be a goldmine for your company!
Best regards,
Jason A. Cirillo, toy collector

I think that the M.U.S.C.L.E. toy-line should be brought back. I
loved
those toys growing up and I still have a remaining few, but I would
really like to be able to buy them again, they were great. Please
make more, you have an assured customer here in me. Thank you,
Mike Drew
Wrestling is hot right now! You can't go wrong with a re-release of
M.U.S.C.L.E!!

Muscle were so cool. and a good price like way better than any toys
of today, if you re-released them they would sell like hotcakes,
you can't beat the price and entertainment value.

I LOVE M.U.S.C.L.E.'s. They are the best! I would buy so many if
they were back out. My siblings would buy lots of them too. Mattel
Please start making them again.

I love Muscle Men! Please bring em' back!
Orkozero@aol.com
In the late 1980's Matell released toys known as M.U.S.C.L.E men. I
still remember the day that I got my first pack of these amazing
little toys. I am deperately looking to start a new collection of
these toys since my orginals have been lost over the years. Please
bring these toys back, it seems that many people share my same
interest and will attract old fans as well as new.
C020677@aol.com
I loved these as a kid - they were cheap, durable and fun! And now
days with the collectable card game rage, it seems like a
collectible figure set would sell well.....Thanks,
Steve ( Swatkat00@aol.com )
I think that you should release M.U.S.C.L.E. Men again.Lots of
people want them back and im sure they will sell.
MideonHHH@aol.com
I loved these toys, and I think a whole new generation of children
who seem to buy anythingcollectiable like MUSCLE toys,would buy
them by the dozenz
DDMPLYNX@aol.com
Well, I used to love these things when I was a kid, but I would
gladly
buy these things again...they were so much fun to collect.
HCCCOX@msn.com (Chad Cox)
I started buying M.U.S.C.L.E. figures in my mid-twenties, they were
wild, they were weird, they were cool !! My college buds and I made
up weird little dice games with them and lots-O-fun with them. Love
to see 'em on store shelves again. Sincerely,
Adrian Stone

Although M.U.S.C.L.E.s represent a distant part of my childhood, I
am
glad of nothing so much as that I still have my old ones, and they
still
rekindle a long-lost feeling every time I play with them. They are
a
toy that my cousin, 14 years my junior, and I can enjoy equally. To
this day I scour toy stores hoping to find them stocked on the
shelves.
Sincerely, Mike Allen
mallen@adan.kingston.net (Mike)
I remember when you used to be able to buy MUSCLE's for 99 cents a
4-pack from the 7-11's on a whim. Then you saw what you got when
you got home... Exciting, huh? But that was just the thing... there
really wasn't a form to collecting them, so you could trade for a
MUSCLE you had (duh-duh-duuuuuuh) NEVER SEEN BEFORE! And you
weren't missing anything, you didn't feel like you had to...-ahem-
"Catch 'em all". It was just fun. And I miss it. Vote's
same for "Monster in my Pocket". Neat Stuff!
matthew.riley@cwix.com (matthew.riley)
Children of the M.U.S.C.L.E. are now of the age at which they
remember the toys so fondly that they will go to any length to buy
them. Nostalgia is backed up by purse.
gcalland@midway.uchicago.edu (Geoff Callander)
Please, re-release the M.U.S.L.E figures as I am an avid fan of the
comic and would love to have the chance to collect the whole
series.

With WWF & WCW wrestling back in full gear, I think (&
know) that now would be a productive time to re-release the
M.U.S.C.L.E toyline. May I also remind that toylines with large
amounts characters, like Pokemon are very popular presently. The
same could be said for M.U.S.C.L.E. if brought back to us all!!!

Hi my name is Josh mccarthy Im 27 years old but I still love
M.U.S.C.L.E.S. and I would like to see them re-released into the
market
it would be a good time to bring them back out since wrestling is
so
popular now maybe you can bring them out in levels of rarity with
rare
,uncommon,and common with rare being hard to find and so on down
with common easy to get you could also release them in a yearly
series
starting with the year 2000 series each year you could retire some
wrestlers and introduce some new ones maybe cartoon and video game
tie-ins and a online wrestling forum were players are givin stat
points
to assign to there wrestlers and can win prizes and at the end of
the
year one winner will win the championship belt I have more ideas if
you
would like to e-mail me. thank you very much
your loyal muscle fan. Joshua McCarthy
overlord-3@webtv.net
I want the M.u.s.c.l.e toyline back because I loved collecting the
M.u.s.c.l.e.s if they were out still I would get a lot more of
them. I had chance to get the m.u.s.c.l.e ring but when i went back
it wasn't there.So if the muscles were back i could get the ring
and more muscles so i hope this helps.
JOSH213@PRODIGY.NET (JOSH)
Please mattel reissue m.u.s.c.l.e. men. All you would have to do is
melt down all the barbie dolls that didnt sell and use old molds.
thanks yours truly mill mill
DENNISM4@email.msn.com (DENNISM4)
As a kid, the M.U.S.C.L.E. toys were the only ones I kept and
enjoyed for a really long time. All the He-Man stuff I had was
stuck in a corner of the attic and left there after a couple years.
These little things allow creative play, and the variety makes it
even better. FREELING@prodigy.net (Freeling)
please re release the M.U.S.C.L.E. men to the market. i have about
150 and i want more. I have had them for about 11 years i want
more.
bergeronklt@mediaone.net (Lee Bergeron)
I think they should be re-released because they were the greatest
toys ever and I know myself and all of my friends would buy them.
dr_bp@Hotmail.com (Bill Holiday)
M.U.S.C.L.E. was one of the most creative toys ever made. I was
never so excited and happy to open a pack then with any other toy
nor did I ever have as much fun.
mistypatch@email.msn.com (mistypatch)
im writing in regards to musclemen. I really, really believe that
releasing these toys again would be largely profitable. I am 24 yrs
old and i made the very stupid mistake of giving all mine to my
cousin (which im sure he has lost by now) and i regret it to this
day. I really miss playing with those things and the little
wrestling ring that you also came out with. With how big
professional wrestling has become these days i think that kids
would easily clear the shelves of these things. Thank you for your
time.

Muscle Men should be released again because there is a large base

Hello my name is Patrick Chipley and I used to have every
M.U.S.C.L.E. that was ever made and I carried them around in a in a

if mattel would rerelease them and make some new ones to.

Great to collect, great to trade, These lit-

Made up
4 different
names of fictional wrestling organizations
just for them-
M.U.S.C.L.E. Championship wrestling
M.U.S.C.L.E. Wrestling Association
M.U.S.C.L.E. Wrestling Federation
and
M.U.S.C.L.E. Universal Wrestling.
I made up my own tag teams, trios,

My name is David Vuchenich and I want muscles to be re-released. I
loved them and they were the best. Bring them back.
jeffj@hostme.com (Jeff Jacoby)
Affordable, unique, and collectible toys are extinct or rare at
best. As
the MPS demonstrates, there's a large body of us who know and love
them from the past, and with the resurgent popularity of wrestling
and the huge potential purchasing demographic of today, I can't
understand why they're not already back on shelves.
Best regards, Jeff Jacoby
mikep@HostMe.com (Mike Pivnicny)
Re-release M.U.S.C.L.E I want them, I need them, I can't live with
out them :-) Seriously, a re-release of M.U.S.C.L.E would be great.
Thanks, Mike Pivnicny
Imandyb@aol.com
Please re-release M.U.S.C.L.E to the toylines it would be a great
manufacturing move. P.S. i also think that the masters of the
universe toy line should be re released for a small time. those
figures were constructed great (i had 45 of them and none ever
broke).
StevenMGee@aol.com
M.U.S.C.L.E. should be re-released because they are much more
collectible than those annoying Pokemons. Most of the original
collectors are now older with more disposable income. I know that I
would love to relive my glorious childhood by collecting
M.U.S.C.L.E!!!!!
silicon244@netzero.net (Kevin)
I think that the M.U.S.C.L.E. line of toys should be re-released
because it was one of the few toys that encouraged kids to use
their imagination! (Gee, go figure!) The idea of having a toy you
could also collect was amazing. Why do the companies always
discontinue the good stuff? Kevin Duque
MIDIFACE@cs.com
I am 22 years old and the mere sight of a muscle man brings back
fifteen year old memories of playing with muscles when I was seven
or eight. I forgot about them till this stupid pokepoop fad
m.u.s.c.l.e. ripoff came along. M.u.s.c.l.e.'s are the original
pocket monsters! BRING EM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(please)
caseyflorig@email.com
I want to submit my vote to bring back those M.U.S.C.L.E. Men! My

Dear Mattel, Your discontinued toy M.U.S.C.L.E.s satisfied the
basic need kids want in their toys: for them to be small and
collectible. In this age of highly collectable toys it is my
opinion that you could generate a M.U.S.C.L.E. craze once again by
re-releasing them (in pink). Sincerely,
Brad Goddard

Undertaker84@aol.com
Hello, At the time i was little i bought tons and tons of
M.U.S.C.L.E cans and four pack the reason why i think they should make
them again is because they only made them for a very short time
still today at age 18 i still have 40 or 50 MUSCLEs laying around
in my room so get MATTEL to bring them back
thanks, Robert
BODESA@prodigy.net (BOB DEBRA & BRADLEY)
i think that m.u.s.c.l.e.s are a better and stronger toy than

You should re-release Muscles to the toy market because they are

will!

m.u.s.c.l.e. was one of the greatest toy collections of all time i
played for hours on end and would like to see them back on the
market so that i may buy them for my son and myself. please bring
these wonderful toys back for all the new generations of kids, and
us older kids to, to enjoy.
NiNjA1284@aol.com
please bring back m.u.s.c.l.e toys my younger sister and her

come back for a long time i know atleast a milllion people who want
to see those toys back i am begging you please put good toys back
on the market
BIGZIG00@aol.com
ya i cast my vote for muscles to be released not only are they a
cheap alternative to some other toys but they are durable and
people will want to get the whole set makin people buy a lot of
them and also open a trading market for all of the left overs, also
they are great for any age!
Please bring this wonderful toy back to the market. Whatever
happend to the days when you could purchase a toy that did not come
with a missle launcher, or forced you to use your imagination.

As a child M.U.S.C.L.E.s were so popular with me becuz they were so
cheap and you got four of them! my friends and I played with them
for hours and brought them everywhere we went. I still had a few
tucked away somewhere and my little brothers found them. They are
years 3 and 5 and will not let go of them long enough for me to
admire them. I think that it would be a very wise idea to release
them again just as the were when I was a kid.
thanks.
SychoRobb@aol.com
There is no better time to bring M.U.S.C.L.E's back than this year,
Kids today would go nuts over them like I did back in the day. Just
think how big wrestling is. You can use that to steal some of the
toy money going around today
Thank you,

P.S. I would buy them today and I am 22

As I look back on my childhood, there are a couple of toys that
stick out. They are Transformers, He-Man, Voltron, and M.U.S.C.L.E.
men. I miss my M.U.S.C.L.E. men enormously, and wish I could go out
and buy them again, even not to play with, but to just have a
little piece of childhood back.

Please bring back MUSCLE. I remember enjoying them when I was
younger and am somwhat disappointed with my loss of them, but if
they were to be released I, as well as others, would surely replace
our lost MUSCLE.
CloudSFF78@aol.com
They should be re-released beacause they are cool and i never got
to finish my collection so they should bring them back so i can buy
the rest of the stuff.

Quite simply, it would be a profitable venture on their part.
MANY members of the older audience would buy the figures out of
nastalgia, but the fact that so many people found them enjoyable
the first time seems to imply that many will enjoy them this generation.

To Whom it may concern, I am an avid fan of the now impossible to
find muscle wrestlers I have recently started to search on the
internet for these great toys - but what I would really like to
see is for them to be re-released to toy store shelves. they
strike me as inexpensive yet fun toys so I would hope that we
could see them for sale again sometime soon. PLEASE consider
this. I have a large collection from when I was a kid and would
love to continue making it grow thanks for your time.

I'm all about a future rerelease of M.U.S.C.L.Es. I remember the
awesome commercials and I was like "Must buy that!!!"
If they're rereleased I'll finally be able to get them all. Amen.
I just have a good sized sack full at my house. They're one of
the best all purpose toys ever. I even have two of the
M.U.S.C.L.E posters that were available in a mail in offer.
M.U.S.C.L.Es are even the only toy that a friend of mine ever
enjoyed or gave a damn about. That's all I'm saying. Please
Mattel help the keepers of the flame out. Sincerely,

yes M.U.S.C.L.E's should be re-released they were fun and ended
upbeing a great collector's item. the fact that it is expected
for the 80's to return in style will help the sales and allow
many people to remember their childhood.
blrb@ime.net (ExarKun)
M.U.S.C.L.E's were a key part of my childhood. I am now 18 years
old and I deeply regret not putting them in a safer place so my
mother wouldn't have thrown them away when I was bad once. I
would love to play with those again, and my little cousins used
to play with them a couple years ago before they were thrown out.
I think older and younger kids would want them again.
K RISH80@aol.com
There's over three thousand people that have visited this
m.u.s.c.l.e page alone and the Ebay online auctions are selling
these guys at an alarming rate, people still want these toys.
rlab@dlcwest.com
I definately think they should be re-released. When I was a kid,
I had them all and now I want them back, as I'm sure many
children of the eighties do. Plus, in todays toy market, they
could make a killing because there's nothing around like them.
Trash1@idt.net
There has never been an action figure as versatile as MUSCLEs.
Bringing them back would give the children of the 90's the same
joy that the children of the 80's got. Hey BANDAI, this is a
great money making opportunity as well. Patrick Gresham
gresh@pdl.plymouth.lib.mi.us
One of the most underrated toy lines ever. Fun for all ages. Hours
of playing time with the wrestling ring or just by themselves.
Could collect, trade, and play with them: what more could you ask
for only a buck? Man, these would be huge today! Please
re-release them!!!
Ddeath99@aol.com
Just thought I'd toss my comments in here...I loved these toys,
they were cheap, clever and wildly varied. I bought more
practically every time I went to the store, covering my desk with
the little buggers. I'd
love to see these back on the market, and I think that parents
would appreciate having less expensive toys that have high appeal
to buy for their kids.
patdolan@concentric.net
M.U.S.C.L.E were genuinely surreal, beautifully simple, stylish
and iconic, and generally marvellous through and through. Please,
oh please bring them back for another generation to become
obsessive over!!

There small and probably cheap to manufacture but can be hours of
fun
to play with. Young kids will want to buy them to see what they
are and
older consumers that remember M.U.S.C.L.E.'s from their childhood
will
also want to buy them. Zachary
funkyworm@geocities.com
I believe muscles are a great product. They will be a profitable
product. Many kids will buy them because they are cheap but can
still have a good time with them.

The M.U.S.C.L.E toys were one the coolest toys ever released.
They would easily recapture that spotlight with today's kids.
Their uniqueness is what made them popular and again it would
benefit them. Release the M.U.S.C.L.E.S!!! atmose@pacbell.net

them in the four packs and in the twenty-eight garbage can
pack!!! I rescently had to sneak (not steal!) back the old
M.U.S.C.L.E.s I gave to my cousin's kid (who is now ten years
old), that's how much I love them. -Tapion
trunks13@juno.com
Hi, I think that the M.U.S.C.L.E. Action Figure series should be
re-released is that they were first full collection of action
figures. They are the most
cool series of action figures ever. If they were re-released it
would make me happier than anything else in the whole world.
Thanks. Bobby
s_prinz_c@msn.com
M.U.S.C.L.E.S. were wonderful toys for a young boy's imagination.
Through these small figures, a child could enter worlds of fun,
excitement and joy without any need for computers, televisions or
video game systems. They let my imagination run wild, and brought
me more joy
than any other toy I EVER owned. I would love the opportunity to
see them on the shelves again, particularly in an age where
Nintendo and Sega allow little more than instant, mindless
gratification. Young
people today need something to stimulate their imagination, and
M.U.S.C.L.E.S. do just that.
psoltesz@otan.dni.us
I had about 200 of them. I used to keep them in a big shoe box.
Throughout the years, though, they've dissappeared on me. My
favorite M.U.S.C.L.E. was the over-grown hand. He was one of the
little dudes I remember the most. I think M.U.S.C.L.E. was a toy
phenomenon. There hasn't been any other toy line like
M.U.S.C.L.E.'s ever since. I think that it's just a damn shame
that a lot of toys these days don't have the
"personality" that the toys of the 1980's had.
M.U.S.C.L.E. really kicked ass.
LHernan874@aol.com
I think that they were cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAYEUX@worldnet.att.net
Bring back M.U.S.C.L.E.'s. Those little guys were great and the
variations seemed endless. I'm wondering why they ever
disappeared. I always expected to see more sets in addition to
the ring.
kkmann@frontiernet.net
Im sending you this mail as a request to bring back The
M.U.S.C.L.E. toys back on the market. The reason I would like
them back are easy....I remember when I was a kid, I collected
them. I had hundreds, like a big bucket full of them. Well I
enjoyed making wrestling matches with them and I think kids today
would enjoy it also. When I moved I lost my bucket of guys, so I
dont have anymore...Now if you would re-release them, I could get
a collection of them back. Hope u will release them, and oh...If
you made the Battle Beasts toys, THEY WERE THE BEST, so PLEASE
bring them BACK!!!! Thanks!
Mat Demon@aol.com
Mattel,
Please bring back MUSCLES, there's tons of $ to be made, right
now there are no equivalents to MUSCLEs. What would be better tan
an affordable collectable, remember all the money made on POGS.
Now's the time, go for it. Very Truly Yours, Jd
grynn@jaguarsystems.com
Muscle Men should be produced again and distributed throughout
the US because they make a lot of people happy(simple, I know,
but very important). In addition, any company willing to take the
small risk of producing them again and satisfying the urgent
requests of kids everywhere would be regarded as a company
dedicated to its customers.

i just wanted to voice my opinion about the old muscle toys that
were the biggest craze in the 1980's. Muscles were a big part of
my growing up, and i have a sentimental feeling towards the cute
pink guys. i really wish you could re-sell these in today's
market. i know i would buy alot, and i have alot of friends that
feel the same way. it's unfortunate that my mom threw
all my M.U.S.C.L.E.S away when i was a kid. and i wish i could
recollect them sometime. thanks for listening, kaz
kazimir@hawaii.edu
I think Bandai should bring back the M.U.S.C.L.E.S line because
they provide hours upon hours of fun times! There basically
undestructible and they divide nicely into good and bad guys. I'm
begging you --PLEASE-- bring them back!!! I'll be waiting for the
good news! Steve Emery

My name is John Morey, and I am submitting my comments on the
MUSCLES. In
my opinion, the MUSCLE toy series was one of the best ever, and I
regret that I only have twenty(two were bootleg). It has been a
wish of mine for
quite some time now that MUSCLES be returned to the toy market,
and I am overjoyed to hear of this petition. Please put my name
on the list. Sincerely,
John R. Morey
rmorey@igateway.com
They should bring them back because they were such a great toy to
collect. I myself have been collecting for about 14 years now,
and it is hard when
things get kicked off of the market. M.U.S.C.L.E.S. to me where
the funnest to collect because there were so many. I still don't
have them all, so please bring them back to us all! ERIC
dkupar@informatics.net
Hi, I agree that MUSCLE men should be brought back on the market.
Maybe in a different color scheme so they would be
different from the origingal. They should rerelease original
designs and new ones. These are my comments. Thanx for your time.

I think you should re-realease muscle men they were the greatest
thing that
happend to wrestling. I used to play muscle men all the time and
never get
bored of them if you re-realease them many people will be very
happy. thank you
please consider. a muscle man fan
drvanhorn@theriver.com
I think M.U.S.C.L.E.S should be returned to the market because
mostly
everyone lost their's and they're hard to find. I only had a couple
of
them but I was really fond of them. Mike
mike.mac@sympatico.ca
MUSCLES should be revived for many reasons- they were a pretty
inexpensive
toy. They were highly collectible. They were easy to find. They
were great to just display, or wrestle, or destroy through
various twisted means. MUSCLES is something that is desperately
needed in today's collector-geared market. We NEED MUSCLES!!!!!
kenisonk@waldorf.edu
These figures were great. You could trade them. They were cheap.
They
were collectible. They were unique. They must see production
again.
Ravage2@netdirect.net
(from now on I'll just call them "The M.s") are cool
looking and they should be re-released but with new characters.
That would be cool. They should be cheap too! $2-3!!! Save The
M.s!!!
sylvestr@northnet.org
With so many toys being re-released these days, who can't label
it as trendy? Besides, in a market drenched with repaints of
repaints, grotesque figures that parents despise, and the monster
we like to call
'variations', a blast from the past is just what the doctor
called for. These little figures can usher in a new era of
toy making.
adamcas@ipass.net
yes! muscles should be re-released. as a kid i had many of these
and almost became addicted to them. to me they were far more superior
to any of the toys in the early 80's because they wouldn't break
or get stolen. keeping track of them did become a chore though.
still, i'd rather see muscles being sold than more Power Ranger
toys. thank you. fuge
jmatthys@ix.netcom.com
We want more M.U.S.C.L.E. Men!!!! MORE AND KEEP EM PINK
With the affinity most of us have now for the little pink men we
had then, and with the BOOM in toy collecting, manufacturers
could turn a nice profit by putting these things on the shelves
again.
mjeanes@gator.net
I loved these guys so much! I wanted to collect them all, but
then they were taken off the market! Please bring them back! They
are really cool! M.U.S.C.L.E 4LIFE!!!!
KensukeSan@aol.com
Please Bring Back the M.U.S.C.L.E's!!!! They're great toys for
kids, as they give them a chance to actually use their
imagination. Also, brothers are able to coax their sisters into
playing with them, because they're pink!!!
MaryLou2o1@aol.com
Put me on that petition, I had M.U.S.C.L.E.'s when I was little,
They RULE! I'll have to dig through my boxes of stuff to check
them out again!
Thanks!
Mustard87@hotmail.com
I used to collect M.U.S.C.L.E toys and I still pick them up when
I see them at flee markets. I would love to see them rereleased
again.

Hey, Please consider re-releasing the MUSCLE action figures. I
really enjoyed them as a kid and would like to see them back in
stores. It'd be nice to get my hands on some again. Travis
kokas.1@osu.edu
keep them coming i miss them
Dukespad@aol.com
I believe that MUSCLE should be back on the market. I may be a
girl but I liked them
Celes1999@aol.com
M.U.S.C.L.E. figures should be re-released because I believe they
were one of the more influential toys of the 80's. I realize that
of course the toys were a money-making venture first and
foremost, but with their lack of background they made kids use
their imaginations. Imagination, what a concept!
wigginstt99.cs07@usafa.af.mil (wigs)
I think they should re-release them because some of these toys
were excellent!
SteBowli@aol.com
This is a letter for the petition. I think M.U.C.S.L.E. should
be re-sold because there are teenage collecters my age who
remember their mothers buying them 50 and they remember
them. Like me they want more. I also think the little kids
today would love them as I did as I was a kid. Mark
kupel@earthlink.net
To Bandai, or Mattel, or whoever else may be listening: YOU'VE
GOT TO BRING BACK THE M.U.S.C.L.E.'s !!! They WERE the coolest
toys of the '80's because they WERE virtually indestructible, and
because they really DID inspire creativity by not having pre-set
personalities. Sure, they were lost easily too, but toy companies
should love that because then they get to sell replacements for
the lost ones. Right? Right! A new generation is now ready to be
introduced to M.U.S.C.L.E.'s! (And the first generation has been
ready to be re-introduced for some time now.) You've gotta bring
'em back -- you've just gotta......Kyle Robinson, M.U.S.C.L.E.

I love them they are awsome. I have spent me whole childhood
playing with them
bhealy@bellsouth.net
Please bring them back, they were great toys and easily
affordable. They are so cool, so please bring them back, Thank
you and please do re-release them. Best of Luck.
ICHIBAN729@aol.com
we want muscles rereleased
Bfreddyj@aol.com
I think that MUSCLES are the best toy ever and to deprive those
who have never had the chance to have a MUSCLE are really really
deprived of a simple little child hood toy. I think they are
awesome and need to be put
back on the market
lbowen@sisna.com
they are cool. i had lots when i was a kid . i wish i had them
still. to bad i ate them. darn.
heapsr45@gte.net (heapsr)
I think Muscles should be re-released because now a days there is
no toy type that is cheap, fun and tradable. Baseball and Comic
cards used to serve this purpose but now it is about $4.00 a pack
for like 6 cards.
You can't do it with action figures because it is hard to get any
under $7.00. Another reason is because they were weird and you
could build up massive armies of them. They were a lot of fun.
msmallfield@voyager.net
M.U.S.C.L.E.S. were one of my favorite toys at the time. They
provided excellent variety very affordably (important to kids).
M.U.S.C.L.E.S were like trading cards, you never knew who you
were going to get in those garbage cans, and unlike cards you
could play with them
rongreynolds@webtv.net (Ronald Reynold)
M.U.S.C.L.E.S are the coolest toys ever they fit in a pocket can
be played with anywhere and are neat to look at you have my
support do America proud and bring back M.U.S.C.L.E.S
carnivalcity@hotmail.com
kids need muscles for 2 good reasons:
1st, they break the race barrier. i think racial tolerance will
go up if they can see toys of various colors and species teaming
up and fighting eachother as if race wasn't an issue. its
beautiful.
2) toys these days require no imagination. you should have scene
some of the scenarios i put those poor creatures through. i had
politics and stuff going on in my own little world.-Jim P. Field-
UghYaGotMe@aol.com
Re-release them!!! Their easy to collect, cheap, and unique.
They're good for making a large army of completely gifferent
figures.
tran@cyberia.com
To whom it may concern
My reason for bringing muscles back is that when I was between
ages 5 and 8 I had a huge collection of them, but they were
unfortunately lost as most childhood toys are. I'm 17 now and I
recently had a little chat with
my mom and brother about how cool those muscles had been. I have
realized that I want them back and I'm willing to pay for them.
It would be a way for me to relive those early childhood memories
that I seem to have forgotten recently. Those happy days. Please
BANDAI and MATTEL, re-release those wonderful muscles. Even a
limited re-run would be great
for the little kid in all of us who used to enjoy your product
tremendously. Sorry to drag this on, but think of the profits!
They can't be expensive to produce, so you could probably make a
decent profit on every pack sold. What kid wouldn't demand a
re-release of MUSCLES over
some stupid ninja turtle? I don't know of any. Well theres my
opinion on the MUSCLE re-release idea. Sincerely Matt Trudell 17
year old child at heart.
mtrudell@mail.win.org
I think muscle figures are unique toys that brought a lot of joy
to children, me being one, when they were being sold. I am now 20
but would like to buy them for my sister's children who I have
given the few remaining muscles I had. Please bring them back for
the next generation of kids who would love to have them. Thank
you.
TRAXX1200@aol.com
The one thing I always remember about Muscle Men is the brick
Muscle Man guy. The was my favorite. And i really really really
want them to bring them back. I have a small collection(of what i
have left) My friend Pat gave me about 30 MM so i've gotoon into
them more now. I do hope my wriiting this will help bring back
the once loved and always cherished M.U.S.C.L.E M.E.N -Steve
Malorkis@aol.com
They still sell the little green army men, so why not
M.U.S.C.L.E? sure, it's hard to type with all those periods, but
their were hudreds of them, all different, very cheap to make,
anyone could afford them. Tradable and collectable, they're just
fun.- Steve
NYisontop@aol.com
M.u.s.c.l.e. toys should be rereleased because of their
collectibility.
They are the type of toy that can stand the test of time.

I'm 17 and when I was younger I used to play with M.U.S.C.L.E.
figures and I loved those little things! There were so many
different styles. I'd love it if they were re-released!
bhenders@inav.net
M.U.S.C.L.E.S. were taken off the market before I had a chance to
collect them all. Over the years, they have gotten lost or
damaged and now I would like to buy them all again. I'll be
having kids before too long, and I
want them to play with M.U.S.C.L.E.S, so re-release 'em! Carey R.

Ovinoman14@aol.com
I loved my M.U.S.C.L.E. figues, and my brother (who was not born
when they were relased) is amazed by how cool they are. There are
so many of them, and they are each so unique, and have so much
character, you can never tire of playing with them. Now, as
proffessional wrestling is making a huge comeback, I think Muscles
would be more popular than ever!
MaddTrick@aol.com
The great little toys help stimulate a person's mind, by the
absence of "Spring-launched missiles," and
"Actions Features." They make the people control these
little guys and give thme personalities and have them run through
adventures. Bring them back! For the love of god, BRING THEM
BACK!
D Manshoon@aol.com
I love them! I had a total of 110 M.U.S.C.L.E.S not including 125
duplicates. I still sometimes dump them out of my bucket and have
an all out brawl. I really think that they need to bring them
back!
staples@fullnet.com (staples)
I AM A HUGE FAN OF M.U.S.C.L.E.S.!!!!
BRING THEM BACK. I NEED THEM. THANKS!
dstearns@wvi.com
I believe M.U.S.C.L.E. should be re-released because these toys
were really cool to collect because of their size and easy to
carry for kids everywhere. I would really like to collect them
myself. I have about twenty muscles from when I a youngster and
still in good condition I
would have liked to collect them all. MUSCLEs were also so
inexpensive to buy many of them at one time.
gaffle@pacbell.net
Bring MUSCLES back. They are cheap and can provide hours of
entertainment for poor familys
montez@fia.net
Re release Muscles I would buy them.
Tomservo28@aol.com
To whom it may concern I am a toy collector, and a huge fan of
your M.U.S.C.L.E. toy line. Years ago I remember collecting all
the "Thug Busters and Cosmic Crunchers" I could. To
this day I still am fasinated with them. As I travel around to
toy shows I find there is a huge following and market for this
particular toy line. If the M.U.S.C.L.E. line was re-released, I
personally would buy every little item, and know of hundreads of
other collectors and kids alike who would do the same. I really
think it would be quite successful, especially with the recent
popularity in TV wrestling among kids and adults alike. Please
give us more M.U.S.C.L.E.! Thanks
Tyler Larkins
I think that the toy M.U.S.C.L.E. should be re-released because
they are a freat line of toys. They are really neato and I know
about 15 people that would buy them.
Beeffdaddy@aol.com
I guess you wanna know why I want these toys re-released........
SIMPLE THEY WERE THE BOMB.....Better then those little green army
men....Had so many different wrestlers.......And the garbage can
they came in........Wish I still had them ...had about 300 that I
know of..But my mom went and gave them to my baby cousin ...Now
probably all are bubried in his backyard.
BRING BACK THE MUSCLE!!!
Dreadnok81@aol.com
TELL THEM PLEASE BRING BACK MUSCLE MEN I WOULD BUY SO MANY YOU
DONT EVEN KNOW I GOT A HUNDRED OR SO AND THEY'RE AWESOME!!!!
BRING THEM BACK! M.U.S.C.L.E. WILL LIVE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zodiac@home.com (James Abeyta)
Kinnikumen are my life! There are many MUSCLE fans in Hong Kong!
We all do hope that we can buy the RE-RELEASE MUSCLE COLLECTION
in Hong Kong in the near future!(Not only in US or Canada) In HK,
we have to spend a lot of money to buy the old MUSCLE collection.
For example, we need to spend about 50 bucks for three little
rubber model! It is unreasonable! We all WISH the MUSCLE
collection can be re-release! Jacky from Hong Kong
noel_jacky@yahoo.com
m.u.s.c.l.e.s where and still are one of the greatest collectable
toys ever made. there where so many different types of
figures you couldnt help but let your
imagination explode.they where like the biggest
trading-collectable since baseball cards,but alot more fun.so
please re-release these crazy guys,if not for me,then for all the
kids whose imaginations have not yet been opened. thanks
for your time, BRIAN PRYBYLSKI
halco 60@aol.com
M.U.S.C.L.E. are the coolest toys around. I am 13 and have been
collecting them since i was 7. About a year ago i found a store
that carried 4 packs of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures I bougt all i could
then one day i went back and
thay were all gone. i travel to fleamarkets and yardsales.
M.U.S.C.L.E. desreves another chance.
smw@multipro.com
I think there are many youngsters out ther who would enjoy these
great toys.I was only able to get one ten pack as akid but would
like to get many more.This however cannot be done unless they are
re-released.
The Thornhill Family
I agree that re-releasing these awesome little guys would be
great. Mattel should realize that these things were so incredibly
fun and collectable. They must return!
AMCZX2@prodigy.net
In my opinion, re-releasing the MUSCLE line of toys would be very
profitable to Mattel. Now I'm no expert on the subject, but all
kids' toys are very expensive these days and there's absolutly no
originality in the market, and one of the main reasons MUSCLE was
so popular is because it was inexpensive and a simple, yet
original concept. Children of the 90's have never seen MUSCLE,
and the concept would probably be very appealing to them as a
change from the exspensive toys which aren't really fun at all.
IMP77@aol.com
Bring those guys back! They were the best and you could do
anything to them. So many different characters make them fun to
collect like sports cards.
mfdjerom@MNSi.Net (Mark Jerome)
Muscles should be re-released because I have wondered for YEARS
where these little treasures have gone, and have only found a few
under my bed or in
the back of my closet. But I would like to have them ALL again!!!
So re-release them and take my money...

Dear Mattel, My name is Vlad ill be 21 this October. I was a kid
growing up in the suburbs in Staten Island, NY. My favorite toys
were M.U.S.C.L.E Things or as i called them M.U.S.C.L.E Men, They
were our childhood, Our imagination, and our age of innocence, so
please release the figurines again, It will again be popular, but
YOU have the POWER to bring dreams to Millions of kids out there,
let them have the same fun we did growing up!! Thanks,
DeepNY@aol.com (Vlad)
My brothers, friends as well as some of their friends, and myself
have been looking everywhere to find M.U.S.C.L.E`s. We were quite

Know personally 15 people who have been looking for a place to
buy M.U.S.C.L.E`s. Please bring them back.

M.U.S.C.L.E.S KICK ASS!!!!!! I remember collecting them as a kid.

Dear Mattel, I am writing you in
regards to re-releasing the M.U.S.C.L.E line of toys for two reasons.
One: They were a great toy for children (small, inexpensive, and led
to hours upon hours of countless entertainment) and Two: I think our
children need to have toys like what were available in the 80's,
which were available to us, so that they're imaginations will not be
solely taken over by video game systems, computers, and the internet.
Children nowadays don't have much in the form of imagination,
the whole 'thinking' part of imagination is done for them. The work
has been done by computer games, and video game systems (Nintendo /
Sony...etc...). So I think it would be a good deed to start
re-issuing these toys for this great purpose.
Yours truly, John P. Townsend
Johnpt@warwick.net (John P. Townsend)
there are very good reasons to bring m.u.s.c.l.e. things back to the
toy market.
they are a dynamic and creative toy line. you name them yourself, and
there are so many different ones you never get tired of collecting
them. they also fit in your pocket. i am 23 years old and i still
seek comfort in feeling them in my pocket at meetings...
jennieburt@tdi.net (Jennie M. Burt)
In a word, MUSCLE was the coolest. In addition, every child I meet
who sees them wants them. This includes my 2 year old who caries
around a ziplock bag of his "men." Also, wrestling is more
popular than ever now, which should mean easy sales since the MUSCLE
guys are wresters. Old ones could be re-issued and new ones created
to make a very successful toy line. I certainly would buy lots! Kevin
Meisner
Gales Ferry, CT Meisner65@aol.com
Yes I would like for MUSCLE to be back in stores.
FAMMAM@worldnet.att.net (JOSEPH MAMUSCIA)
I think M.U.S.C.L.E. should be re-released because as a kid I
remember them being more fun than any other toys out there. They were
perfect, because you could get a lot of them all at one time, and
they were hours of fun. If they were to be re-released, I think they
would do well for those reasons.

rambo@cwv.net (rambo)
To whom it may concern, With all the re-birth of the retro 80's, some
lengendary things have been left out of this comeback...M.U.S.C.L.E.
MEN have been forgotten! As far as i am concern, M.U.S.C.L.E. MEN can
rebuild their popularity with great support such as us! there are
many collectrs out there..."Star Wars this...Star Wars
that"...but when you really think about it, EVERYONE remembers
the pink little guys called M.U.S.C.L.E.MEN!!!. I ask you to bring
back these guys! I give you my support!
J95HIT@aol.com
Muscle men benifited everybody Mattel! Because kids like me spent all
the money we could on your fantastic product, and of course most kids
loved them. They were personally my favorite toy and they always will
be.
oregong@teleport.com (Dave Whiteman)
I don't really need to explain why they are so great. It's pretty
obvious. I would certainly buy them if they were brought back.
sagal@flash.net
Mattel needs to bring M.U.S.C.L.E. because they were one of the most
genious line of toys ever. There were so many different styles to
collect and were affordable. So what if they didn't have
joints......if you had an imagination, they were the best toy ever.
SKAcore247@aol.com
Hi my name is Psencer Nadolsky from Holland,mi, and I think that you
guys should put M.U.S.C.L.E figures on the market again....they were
probably one of the best toys out there for me and my friends to play
with. Oh I loved them so much. It would help greatly to put them back
on for me and the whole world. Thanks for your time. Spencer Nadolsky

Hello. I will be happy to have my name on your petition. The Muscles

I had ALOT of action figures as a child, but nothing else sticks out

searching for them.

Muscle men should be re-released because they are cheap to make, kids

they came out the first time.) Like me! Zack Wright

yes i think they should bring them back you've got my vote!

please re release the toy line muscles even in a direct order or

line that needs to be done again thanks!!!!!!
PICKLEMAN@prodigy.net (Jolene F Guagliano)
A friend of mine and I have recently been trying to locate old muscle
men toys by going to comic stores, outdoor marts, and looking through
boxes of old toys belonging to friends who used to collect them too.
trying to bring back memories of my youth. I have many memories of my
muscle men. My mom cheering me up, taking me to K-Mart and buying my
1st 4-pack with my allowance, becase my Dad was away for the weekend
fishing. Burrying them in the mud, playing with them in the bathtub,
making lego forts, and lots of wrestling matches on my living room
couch. Its a part of my youth that I dont think I'll forget. A
re-release of these toys would be great, and I think that kids today
would have as much fun collecting and trading them as I did. But
please make some type of mark to differ them from the 1st series. Im
writing this for me, and for my friend and all of the other people
out there who have muscle memories too. Please, bring back the
m.u.s.c.l.e line. Thanks,
Matt Humphries grimase@juno.com
I'M 12 years old and did not get to enjoy M.U.S.C.L.E and I would
realy want to.
So bring them back.
Wireban@aol.com
please re-release the much adored range of toys from the eighties -
Muscle Men as everybody I know (despite being 17) would buy them and
still trade and play with them
HAIL all men who are muscly and made of the strongest material ever
ProfSMAT@aol.com
Wow, muscle men I came on the internet to try to find some evidence
of my favorite toy as a kid. I am 19 and no one believes me about the
little pink rubber men I used to play with. They were the best toy
ever. Man, I want to play with some right now. That is why Mattel
should re-released them, cause they were fun.
ubermonkey@juno.com
I feel that the M.U.S.C.L.E line needs to be re-released because
M.U.S.C.L.E is SO cool! as a young boy I grew up with muscle men and
I feel that they are very fun for a child. They are pretty afordable
and good for a young person. I don't really know what to say but
please put M.U.S.C.L.E.S back on!

MUSCLE did very well when the market was flooded with great toys and
with no cartoon and comic book tie-ins. Now the market is packed with
one kind of toy, action figures with established storylines. Kids
today don't have a toy to use their imagination with. And now there
is an adult market with an interest in Anime and nostalgia.
ROONHOK@webtv.net (kevin mayle)
There's not much to say that everyone else has already said. But for
me, M.U.S.C.L.E. has brought out the best in my imagination. I
actually didn't really discover M.U.S.C.L.E. until about 2 years
after it's release and even at age 17 I was hooked on these little
guys. In fact I hadn't even bought another toy since growing out of
my Star Wars phase 4 years earlier. Those days of playing our
M.U.S.C.L.E. game and making M.U.S.C.L.E. movies are some of the
foundest memories of my life. Now, here I am ten years later reliving
those memories through my M.U.S.C.L.E. wrestling website
(http://www.primenet.com/~jayr/mcw.html).
The only other toyline that has captured my imagination more than
M.U.S.C.L.E. is Star Wars... and that's saying a lot!
Jason Radniecki (jayr@primenet.com)
Dear Mattel, Please re-release M.U.S.C.L.E's.. I have always enjoyed
playing with them.. one day I went to buy them and discovered that
they were no longer being
produced. survivor@mcn.net (Survivor-Kyle B.)
I'm 17 years old, and I still remember playing with MUSCLE men. They
were my favorite toys back then, and I still enjoy looking at them
now. The best thing about them is their extreme collectibility. They
were like baseball cards. I would try to get the pack with the
coolest looking ones, then trade my friends for ones I couldn't find.
If MUSCLES ever came out again,
I'd buy every single one I saw, hands down.-Michael
RANCiD_ACiD@email.msn.com (Eithon)
While recently cleaning out my closet in the attempt to move, I
discovered two boxes containing 138 M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. This was a
revelation of much joy, for these figures provided me with many hours
of trading on the school bus in elementary school as well as a great
ice-breaker for my new roommate, also a M.U.S.C.L.E. enthusiast. By
re-releasing this magnificent product onto the market, those of us
who bought them as kids may now maximize our "disposable
income" in our attempts to retain our youth. Chuck

I loved MUSCLES! Bringing them back today would be a very smart move
on
Mattel in that:
1) they are cheap
2) cheap, yeah, but you just HAD to get em all! (ie: Money for
mattel! Fun for us!)
My last word: bring 'em back! :)

Why I like M.U.S.C.L.E. guys. They rock. There should be more
M.U.S.C.L.E. girls too! I just want to show my support. These toys
are great because they dont break like all of my other toys. I only
have 12 and hope to see more of the M.U.S.C.L.E. Men in stores soon.
So my collection will become huge!!! There should be more different
ones released along with the current ones too. Im Lord Liquorice,
signing off!
lord_liquorice@hotmail.com (Lord Liquorice)
I used to collect these when I was a kid. My friends and I had fat
trading sessions. If these were out on the market today I couldn't
resist spending all my spare money trying to complete my collection.
Richard
rah@ecst.csuchico.edu (Richard Horan)
well i think they are really cool cause they are different than the
redone over and over again action figure. they are like the little
statues that adults collect but they are plastic and for kids.

"Muscles are the best toys I have ever seen." If they were
still available today in their original form I would buy a lot.
Auston Holt ach@wans.net
I believe it would be most profitable for Mattel to bring MUSCLE toys
back, I remember when I had them when I was a kid, and soon I'm
having children of my own, and MUSCLE sure as hell beats the Power
Rangers.

http://www.sju.edu/~despirit
I strongly encourage the release of M.U.S.C.L.E. MEN back onto the
market. There are so many people that are trying to get this 80's
toy! Mattel would make good money if they released them. I'm seeing
them sell up to 60 cents each! I am a collector that would love to
get all 200 (or so) of them.
moonbeam4655@email.msn.com (MOONBEAM4655)
Dear Mattel, I was a huge fan of M.U.S.C.L.E. Figures when they first
came out. I
would be an even bigger fan if they were still on the market today!!
I can still remember trading them with my friends on our lunch hour.
Please bring this toy back so my children can one day appreciate them
as well. The packs of four and the garbage pail packs were great !
Please consider bringing this product back !! Thank you for your
time, Colin Beadle Vancouver, British Columbia
Quite simply, there are no more toys that are as cheap, fun, and in
as great of a selection as MUSCLES. In addition, the recent
popularity of professional wrestling and the potential for
cross-promotion makes it an excellent marketing idea. Michael Austin
mdaustin@engin.umich.edu (Michael D. Austin)
MUSCLEs are by far the greatest collectible toy figurines ever
created. Their unique quality is the extremely wide variety of
figures, ranging from all types of MUSCLEs that anyone can enjoy.
They can be used as toys for kids of all ages, and can be used as
collectibles by people of
all ages. Karaca@pop.prodigy.net (Bora Karaca)
I think muscles were the greatest toys ever along with many other
people who think the same as I do. First of all they were very
durable and creative looking. They could be taken anywhere because of
there size, you got to name them yourself, and you could trade them
easily. The flesh color made them look original. That's why I think
that
M.U.S.C.L.Es should be rereleased. Orion Webb
WildWebb@webtv.net (William Webb)
M.U.S.C.L.E. figures stand out as the greatest toy-line in history.
They apppealed to kids who wanted to play with them, they appealed to
collectors who wanted to diplay them, they appealed to wrestling fans
who just thought that the idea of cosmic wrestling was too cool to
pass up and they also appealed to miniatures-painters who knew how
cool they'd look painted up. In ANY case, everyone knows that
wrestling was a mainstream success during the mid-1980's, with the
pop culture aspect of Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Junkyard Dog and their
peers. And that's partly why M.U.S.C.L.E. sold so well. Well, guess
what? Wrestling is more popular now than it was then, but this time
around, it's not just a gimmicky fad. It's for REAL! With superstars
as popular as Hogan was back then popping up on virtually every
merchandising item imaginable, M.U.S.C.L.E. would certainly sell BIG
TIME!! Wrestlers such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the
Undertaker, Sting, the Giant, and Mankind have made wrestling a
household name again, while the smaller independent federation
wrestlers like Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Tommy Cairo, and Spike
Dudley keep regional wrestling nearly as popular as WWF and WCW!
Wrestling is in it's hay-day! It only makes sense to capitalize on
it. By ignoring this resurgence, you'd be doing yourself and
wrestling fans everywhere a sad injustice. Please bring back

men again . MATTEL please make more PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

cannot be hard to manufacture and they would be great collectibles.

I think M.U.S.C.L.E men were one of the coolest toys I ever had as
kid. If they came back I would buy them all and still play with them.
I'd be sure that my kids would play with them too. Please bring them
back. They can't be too expensive or hard to make.
danh@guruhq.com (Daniel Haynes)
I grew up in japan so i guess i grew up on kinnikuman (muscle). i
collected the little figures,read the comic, watched the weekly
cartoon, and bought every thing i could that was kinnikuman. when i
moved back to the states i was surprised to see muscle figures. it
was really cool. but by that time my friend said that they didnt make
them anymore. I know a lot of people besides myself that would like
to see more
muscle, so bring them back!!!

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
I AM WRITING TO ADD MY NAME TO THE PETITION TO BRING BACK
M.U.C.S.L.E. I REMEMBER HAVING HOURS OF FUN WITH MY DOZENS OF FIGURES
IN MY MOM'S FLOWER GARDEN. NOW I'M OLDER AND HAVE A SON OF MY OWN AND
WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO SHOW HIM HOW MUCH FUN I HAD AS A CHILD. IN A
AGE WHERE EVERY FIGURE HAS 10 WEAPONS AND 56 DIFFERENT BENDABLE
JOINTS IT WOULD BE REFRESHING TO SEE M.U.S.C.L.E. BACK ON THE MARKET.
A CHILD COULD BY ALOT OF FIGURES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE NORMAL FIGURE
WHICH IS WHAT I LOVED THE MOST ABOUT THEM.
THANK YOU, shomemo2@yahoo.com (BRENT ELLIS)
M.U.S.C.L.E. was the single greatest toy ever made. They were pocket
size small which made them very convenient and because of this made
them fun to collect. You could do anything with them, from
slingshotting them across the yard to diving for them in your pool.
They had so many uses and they were the equivilent, if not better
than trading cards. So many cheap imitations have been made from
Z-Bot to Beast Wars which could not compare to the uniqueness of the
M.U.S.C.L.E. Men.
Brad -(bp@email.ro)
Muscles should be at least given a chance, or a trial run. They would
prevail.

Bring those cool toys back!!!! I grew up on Muscle and will live to
see the day of their return! Ryan@ RYANZLUVHOUSE@JUNO.COM
When I was a little kid Muscles weren't out and when they were out I
was about 1 or 2. when I was growing up I collected monster in my
pockets, Trash bag bunch, Z-Bots,and ghost busters. When I was about
8 my friend who is now in collage gave me about 20 muscles. I still
have them. They are the coolest toys there ever was. I just started
buying them off the Internet. I wish they would sell them in stores
again. I know tons of people who would buy them. I love collecting. I
have over 200 monster in my pockets!!!!!!! i hope Mattel will sell
them again. Sincerely, Andrew (coolstix@aol.com)
You need to bring them back because they are one of the best toys
realeased by you. They were one of my favorate toys and if they came
back I would purchase them by the tons. Please bring them back oh
master of the M.U.S.C.L.E.
meanfrank@worldnet.att.net
The only thing I can really think to say is that they were the
greatest toys I ever had as a kid, and I would want children nowadays
to experience them.
Mickman48@aol.com
M.U.S.C.L.E figure toys should be back on the market. They were the
best toy ever! I had a bunch of them but my mom gave them all way. If
I saw them in a store these days, even though I'm now 18, I would buy
as many as I could. I know that there are many other people who would
agree with me. So many of my friends want them to come back. I know
it would be very profitable for your company. Please, please put them
back on the market. -Daniel palm
dpalm@writeme.com
I know abot a million kids that love wrestling and love to bring
little toys to school that the teachers don't want you to bring. So
kids see these and bring them to school to rebel from the rules.So I
know kids will love these things,for i'm a kid.
Wireban@aol.com
Hey, Jimmy Hadder here, to lend a hand in the petition. MUSCLE was an
astounding toy idea. The figures were small, cheap, and cool. Kids
were forced to use their imaginations to make up names and play
scenarios, since there weren't any offered by Mattel. MUSCLE is the
only toy line from the last 15 years that allowed you to walk into a
store with a buck, and leave with four unique, well-designed toys,
(speaking about the four packs, of course). If Mattel did bring them
back, I would hope that they somehow distinguish them from the originals.
I would also pray that they don't try to make up some lame premise
for MUSCLE. Just let the kids think it up, It worked before.
mhad@doubled.com (Jimmy Hadder)
my god...the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures are incredible. They are so well
crafted, and the ideas are hilarious. Please bring them back! Please!
JColLemon
It would be nice to re-release the little guys on the market, they
were so cool, just visiting these pages, revived wonderful childhood
memories....Now if I can ever find them again!!!! I need my M.U.S.C.L.E.'s
back!!!!!!!
Thanks, Ken West (PoOpiESlAm@aol.com)
I used to have a bunch of M.U.S.C.L.Es when I was a kid, but as I
grew a little older, I foolishly sold them at a garage sale for a few
bucks. I would gladly buy any M.U.S.C.L.Es that were relesed now.

THEY SHOULD BRING MUSCLE TOYS BACK. THEY WERE AWESOME WHEN I WAS A
KID, AND LITTLE KIDS AND SOME ADULTS WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM COME BACK

I think m.u.s.c.l.e men should be put back on the toy store shelves because
i grew up with them and i would collect them. I would also get them
for my kids.
Shawn2781@erols.com (Shawn Tomlinson)
Bring muscle men back!!! They were the only toy you could never have
the entire collection of and you can never outgrow them.
Bushwack44@aol.com
Muscles should be re-released because to put it simply, I would not
be the man I am today without them. I still remember those days when
I walked out of class and challenged some little kid to a
"fake" game of Muscles. I played really bad the the first
time then we played for keeps and I would win all of his. Oh yes,
that was a memorable experiance. In essence, Muscles are one of
the bases of the small amount of human dignity and kidness that we
all still posses. Think of a world without Muscles and you will see a
planet with a lot more violence and corruption. Muscles provided that
underlying foundation for good-behavior, a well-balenced meal and a
good source of basic ingenuity found in the darkest receses of the
human mind. I dare you, sir or madame, to give me one instance when
Muscles were not a primal source for the balance of child
development. To comprehend the impact that Muscles have had would be
a futile challenge and would be a petty waste of time. I'd rather be
out killing kids....... wait, see, we need Muscles back before it's
too late!!

Dear Mattel- i would love to see the muscle series of figures
rereleased. They were my favorite toys as a child, and wrestling was
my favorite thing to watch on tv. Im sure with the recent explosion
of the popularity of the WWF and WCW that these figures would do
quite well, as they did in the
80's. Thank you! - Jesse

I would realy like to see M.U.S.C.L.E. back into the market, I feel
that alot of little kids today would love them as much as I did as a
child, I also feel that all the original M.U.S.C.L.E. fans who bought
them as children will by them again, not only because it brings back
childhood memories but because many of them would collect them.\

Kininikuman toys a.k.a M.U.S.C.L.E.'s are the best toys ever. I live
way over here in New Zealand, where they never took off as much as
some places overseas, but i once walked into a small toy store some
years ago and found in the corner a box full of brightly coloured
little rubber figures...the name on the box was "Muscle
Wrestlers". I bought a few (being only about 12 years old i
couldnt afford many, even at their cheap prices), i took them home
and played with them, they were just the right size to fit on my LEGO
castle set...i was hooked, and as soon as i could i went back to buy
as many more as i could afford. I only ended up with about 20,
including my favourite: a bright red figure of Kinnikuman himself
clenching two fists and roaring... i didn't even know he was the
'hero' of a Japanese comic book i'd never seen before. I went again
to the toy store, but the Muscle Wrestlers were all gone... which was
a pity, i would have bought them all if i could
have..... Nowadays the little MUSCLES are collectors items,
especially the 'pink' ones it seems.....personally i liked my red
Muscle-man, but you get what you get i suppose... Honestly though,
these toys were the best things to ever come out of Japan, and if
even grown-ups are buying them now (i would), they cant possibly be a
bad investment. Bring back MUSCLE men!!!! filoifaga ma'auga
filo@cheerful.com
My reasons for wanting M.U.S.C.L.E. back are simple. There aren't any
good toys out anymore. I'm almost 18 years old, but I respect the
good, old, fun toys. Things like Voltron, Transformers, He-Man, and
even the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures were fun, simple, inexpensive toys and
there was a lot that they could be used for. I say, bring them back.
A bucket of M.U.S.C.L.E. That's what we need again. The new
generation deserves it. ~ Stephen Perry (GM PerryX@aol.com)

merfs@outrageous.net
I first started buying these action figures as a lark,but my fondness
for them soon began to EXPLODE!!! These are the GREATEST small scale
figures to collect and trade EVER!!! So many cool poses and with
wrestling gaining more and more strength every week on cable how
could you not bring these guys back????

My name is Kyle, and I'm from Wisconsin, and my fiancee and I just
collectively remembered MUSCLES the other day. I found what's left of
my collection, and I'm thrilled with the nostalgia. In this world of
Barbie and Beanie Babies, the world of collectible toys could use the
shot-in-the-arm that the revival of M.U.S.C.L.E.S. would provide.

My name is Dan Bates and I am 16. I remember playing with muscle men
when i was growing up. I still have a few,but my mom threw out most
of them or gave them away to my cousins. I would love to have them
back but the only way I can get them would be to buy them all over
again. So please bring them back.

These things were a huge part of my childhood. I still have 'some' of
my characters, but have been purchasing them from Ebay.com to rebuild
my collection! This is an awesome hobby that I've enjoyed for years.
I think
it would be awesome to have a chance at purchasing new models of
figures as well as being able to find some of the more rare ones from
the past in reprints. boogie@dicksonstreet.com (Boogie)
The M.U.S.C.L.E. men were very popular to me and every boy at my
school. I never had a chance to get all of them but I came damn
close. Collecting them & trading them was more popular than
baseball cards. HUGE. They are fun, unusual, original and very
missed. I feel that the different personalities of the MEN encourages
the collectors to be original themselves (not usually taught by most
toys)
Krexcorn@aol.com
Hello, I believe that M.U.S.C.L.E.s would be an excellent product to
re-release. They were an encouragment to creativity as they had very
little story and you had to fill in the blanks yourself. A
re-realease would also be able to take advantage of the recent surge
in wrestling's popularity. grotedm@hotmail.com (Douglas Grote)
When I was like 5 through 10 i played with them. I for real Had 2
Garbage Bags full, but being a little kid i lost most i only have
around 30 now. If they were back on the market i would buy as many as
i could.

m.u.s.c.l.e.'s were one of the greatest toys ever released. even
though they don't do much as a toy compared to the toys that are out
now, they were just the best! its fun to hunt for, collect, and try
to complete as
a set, and i'm still looking for some im missing even after all these
years have gone by. by re releasing this, you will bring back all the
joy of how it was when they were first released, and bring back a lot
of
memories.

MUSCLES are the greatest. Theyre pretty durable so ya cant destroy
them. They are the all time greates toy.
stepheng@wilkshire.net (Stephen Gerstacker)
muscles were one of the most entertaining toys available when i was a
youngin. Unlike the other toy lines, i was able to obtain several
very fun toys for the same price as one or two of the others. Even
after i got older i was very upset when my collection burned. i think
it would be very exciting if the muscle toyline was re-released. :^)

THEY ARE THE BEST TOY EVER!!!

M.U.S.C.L.E. toys were soooo cool. I was a kid when I had them and
we had so much fun. There were so many different ones. We made our
own wrestling federation, with belts and main events and stuff.
Cool toys. larry
havok@netacc.net
When I was a kid, I had a small collection of M.U.S.C.L.E. Men.
They all got stolen but I didn't care at the time. I did find my
favorite in the very bottom of my toybox though. I have kept him
next to my bed for years. I now have a total of 5 M.U.S.C.L.E. men,
gathered from garage sales and whatnot. I can't find any for sale
and no one in this area
has ever heard of them. It would be wonderful if Mattel came out
with them again. You have my vote! Matt,
boston@nwol.net
I think that M.U.S.C.L.E. toys can be a very profitable toy of the
late 90's if it is marketed for a reasonable price.
nicholas@digizen.net (NG)
Dear Mattel, I grew up in an era with tons of toys on the market.
Between G.I.Joes, Mathcbox Cars and whatever else they had, there
was such a selection. While all those toys were great, M.U.S.C.L.E.
figures were so much better. Im not sure why, but they were unique.
There isn't anythig like them on the market and you should consider
re-releasing them.~Brayden

miked@1st.net ((the)])ude)
MUSCLE should be re-released now becuase not only is there a
collector's market for them, but with professional
wrestling's current popularity children would also be interested in
them. Several popular 80's toylines
have been succesfully re-released; such as Transformers, GI Joe,
and My Little Pony. -Kelly Greider
dgreider@net-link.net (The Greider Family)
I believe that MUSCLEs should be
rereleased for a number of reasons:
1) Mattel/Bandai would save money by rereleasing them. Molds for
toys are very expensive, and by reusing old molds, the company
would eliminate that expense.
2) The demand for MUSCLEs is great. Internet auctions for them
continue to sell
them for higher and higher prices. Also, with the recent popularity
of
professional wrestling, the market is perfect for them.
3) Other toy lines have been rereleased and been very profitable,
appealing to
both the kids and the collectors. Examples include Star Wars,
Transformers, and
GI-Joe.

BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!

From Mattel's standpoint, these little guys will sell wonderfully.
Once you buy a handful, you want more. And more. And more. They're
addictive, which means plenty of sales.

I vote for the re-release. With the populatirty of wrestling
reemerging. I think it would be a good move for them to be
re-released. Plus I can't wait to get my hands on
them again...and I'm 23!!! My wife would never get me to come to
bed again...just be playing with my M.U.S.C.L.E men.

I remember when me and my older brother used to fight and not get
along. Acually that still goes on, but MUSCLEs were something we
could collect together and it brought us closer together. Plus they
just look so damn cool! I think they should make ZBots again to
but, hey, whats a fellow gonna do.

MUSCLEs rule! I had a collection when I was younger, wish I still
had them! I hope they bring them back, cause I would sure buy some
and I know some of my friends would too. Go MUSCLES!

Mattel these little guys are the best thing you have ever made!
Please bring them back for a new generation of (intergallactic)
wrestling fans and maybe give them movable arms. Thanks from a 19
year old M.U.S.C.L.E. fan

good!!!!!

I believe mattel should re-release M.U.S.C.L.E. figures because I
know that many people would like to complete their collection and
also many young consumers would enjoy discovering all the fun these
cool toys have to offer.

please bring back the M.U.S.C.L.E.S they always were my favorites.

I am now 23 years old, and could kick myself for throwing away my
collection( i worked long and hard to get them, 2 shoeboxes full,
when I was a kid) when I thought I had outgrown them. If they were
reintroduce into the market, I would definately buy them, and NOT
throw them away this time. Also, I had some of the original
kinnikomen from Japan(including the kinniko-woman). If it would be
possible, please re-release the ENTIRE collection. Thanks Johnny

Dear Mattel:
A long time ago, my auntie and uncle had bought me a little garbage
can full of neat little creatures inside of it! Well I'll tell you
one thing, I never could stop playing with them. And here I am 7
years later still enjoying every single one that I have. And I'm
not the only one who loves these things. All of my friends can't
stop playing with them either... and we're all 16! If you brought
these back into the markets, and had a couple of good commercials
to let people know that they're back, I'm sure you'll be rackin' in
the money in no time! So please really consider it.
Sincerely, a big collector,
Gavin Winchar
MUSCLE should definitely be re-released now with all of the
originals as well as new ones. They are after all wrestling figures
and wrestling is at it's peak of popularity right now, Aaron Toft

THEY RULE!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring em' Back!!!!!

My name is jeff scherr, i'm in college now and i remember the days
in 3rd through 7th grade when me and all my best friends collected
muscles. we
LOVED em. WE still love em! we each made our own hand made rings
and each of us had a different wrestling alliance for our
collections of muscles. (i'm proud to say i had the most about
200), but anyway, we may not play with them now, but we still
reminesce about those grand days, and how cool it would be if we
could buy muscles now. I swear to you, my friends and i would buy
the CRAP out of any kind of muscles we could if they were for sale
nowadays. whenever i talk to almost anyone else i know about them
they'll say "oh yeah, i remember those guys(muscles), those
guys were awesome, i wonder whatever happened to them?" i
would just like to say it would be a dream come true (yeah that's
pretty said, but true) if muscles were re-released. I would
personally spend a fortune collecting them. Please make more
MUSCLES!!!!!!
jrs60440@cmsu2.cmsu.edu (jeff scherr)
Muscle Men are one of the neatest toys around, not only are they
enjoyable, they are also simple, and leave much room for the
imagination. Please consider putting them in the market once more.
I know many people out there would appreciate it and become quite
happy. Thank you
Ambia (innoswirl@aol.com)
make the people happy, release them again so many would buy them.
Make new ones, don't make stupid ones with broken arms
though...unless you want
Nekrobomb@aol.com
THEY ARE JUST PLAIN COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring em' back!!!!!
jtm5104@nr.infi.net (jtm)
You got my vote! Rerelease them!
crallen@wko.com (Craig Allen)
I think M.U.S.C.L.E's are very interesting toys and I think thier
re-release with a few added ones would be profitable for Mattel
fahimi@sprint.ca (Nader Fahimi)
I love these things! the cool thing about them is that it allows
the kid to do anything and everything to them. PLus they were so
cheap that all kids could afford them! today, for example, i saw a
kid playing with some 'CrazyBones' i think he called them. just
colored pieces of plastic, and he loved them. M.U.S.C.L.E.S. would
become popular again,
give them a chance!!!! Pablo DePaz
guillermoe@erols.com
I want muscle men back because i loved them when i was younger and
still do now but i lost almost all of mine and want more! PLEAZE RE
RELEASE
THEM! dasnakebite@hotmail.com (Snake Bite)
wrestling has been a huge success toy lines are now marketing
anything from figures to beanies. The sucess of this due in part to
the many gimics these wrestlers use. Muscle men carry a variety of
faces and images which children can relate to in terms of these
props or gimics. Hence tapping into a renewed margin of childrens
intrests, to create a profit from a once used idea.
babyruben@earthlink.net
my mom gave them to me as prizes for being good and ever since then
i've been searching for muscles and so have many others. this could
really provide for big bucks in a "new" market for those
parents not interested in the toys which depict an evil aura about
them.
WilmaV1000@aol.com
This line of toys made me happy when I was a kid and I still have
the original ones I bought! I look at them and they bring that same
kid out
of me, and that is a GREAT feeling! So please lets make a new line
of M.U.S.C.L.E's!!! A LOYAL MUSCLE HEAD,
BALDUE Baldue@webtv.net (Dennis Holmes)
Damn I thought I was the only person who remembered these things
from the good old days when toy companies were not afraid to make
small toys that could be easily fed to younger siblings and
neighborhood dogs...
We need them Back!!! See317@aol.com
MORE M.U.S.C.L.E. MAN!!! MORE M.U.S.C.L.E. MAN!!! MORE M.U.S.C.L.E.
MAN!!! I LOVE the M.U.S.C.L.E. toys, and if enough people get
together to bring them back, they will come back? Well man, I am
down for that cause!
Jeremy Freeman, free4@lightspeed.net
Hi, I really think that these toys should be re-released back on the
market. After bringing a few of the hundred that I own to my high
school, almost everyone trully wanted to buy them, or said that
they had many of these toys, and wished they could buy more. After
seeing that these made such an impact on 17 year olds, I beg you to
think about what they could do to younger childeren once again!
THANK YOU!
Metalfrk5@aol.com
M.U.S.C.L.E is the best toy line of all time! Please bring it back!
nlfalls@csrlink.net (nancy l falls)
From a marketing standpoint, I think it would be very profitable
for Mattel to re-release MUSCLE Men. Not only would a new
generation of MUSCLE collectors be formed, but also those who were
fans in the 80's would probably love to get their hands on some new
ones. TPepperMan@aol.com
1.M.U.S.C.L.E.S Are the coolest toys ever.
2.My little brother plays with some of my old ones i gave him
3.you had to use your own imagination to play with them
4.So many people I know would buy them
Please Bring them Back, Andrew
Del lax13@aol.com
M.U.S.C.L.E. should be re-released because everything to do with
wrestling is making a lot of money so it would be profitable for
you to make them again.
