T.O.Y.S.

M.U.S.C.L.E. - they were a big deal about twenty years ago. And if you can even remember them, there's a whole list of the hundreds of the little pink plastic guys, complete with biographies. I had a bunch of 'em, which makes me a nostalgic dork.

Name: MuscleMan

Number: 1

Description: This is the main guy that we all remember. He was the leader of the "Thug Busters". You were required by law to own this figure if you wanted to consider yourself a real M.U.S.C.L.E. fanatic.




Name
:
Terri-Bull

Number: 2

Description: Terri-Bull was the leader of the "Cosmic Crunchers", but I'm not quite sure how he got the job. I mean, he can't even afford to replace the broken horn on his head? For a leader, that's pretty sad.



Name: Mr. Blocky

Number: 3

Description: There were many variations of this guy. He was easily one of the more popular characters. But is it me or is he just a little too happy? He's waving to us with glee and his blocky penis is sticking right out. In this case, I believe his happy demeanor is just a ploy to draw an enemy in close. Once the enemy is close enough, he would feed that enemy directly into the the rollers on his chest. The enemy would then be crushed, just like the big guy in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom who got his turban caught in the rock crusher rollers.


Name: Clamp-O-Johnson

Number: 4

Description: Part Lobster. Part Alien. All Loser. Clamp-O-Johnson always got his ass kicked, and I hate him for that.



Name
: Mr. Planet

Number: 5

Description: If he's really made up of planets, they must be some pretty friggin' small ones. Looks more like he's suffering from the "Popeye Syndrome", with the big bulges in his arms and legs.
