The Nestle' Quik Can is pretty much the
holy grail of my personal M.U.S.C.L.E collection.
The container from 1986
features a cross promotion
with Mattel for a free M.U.S.C.L.E. figure. The promotion did not
feature an exclusive or limited edition figure, nor was the in can
surprise limited to
just one sculpt. Rather, you had the chance of receiving any of the 233 M.U.S.C.L.E.'s made by
Mattel. This is currently one of the most difficult M.U.S.C.L.E.
items to obtain in the hobby. As far as we know,
there is only one other
collector to date that has one
of these cans in their
possession. But.. this
certainly doesn't mean that
there aren't more of these out
there.
Growing up, I
observed something unique about
my elders. Many found it
very hard to throw anything away
that could still serve a useful
purpose. Quik cans, coffee
cans, Sucrets containers, glass
jars of all shapes and sizes,
and dozens of other items like
these, filled the shelves of my
old man's garage. Heck..
he's still got infant formula
cans from 1970 that he uses to
hold nails! It makes you
wonder how many of these cans
may still be lurking in people's
garages and attics across the
U.S.!
