New To You ep207: Personal Obsession pt2

John, Keith and Jules are joined again by Eddy Vallante for the second week in our topic: “Personal Obsession.”

Keith’s new thing is the television series “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”

___________

pt2: M.U.S.C.L.E. (aka Kinnikuman 1985/86)

John’s pick this week is a toy line from the 80′s M.U.S.C.L.E. based on a Japanese comic series and animated series Kinnikuman. There were 233 released in the series in the U.S. first in pink then in a plethora of mixed colors. Learn more on Nathan’s M.U.S.C.L.E. Blog.

The original packaging from Mattel (a four piece blister pack).

The titles for the Japanese series “Kinnikuman.”

The M.U.S.C.L.E. wrestling ring with a KO’d ‘Terri-Bull.’

“How many can you… capture?”

A sweet M.U.S.C.L.E. poster from Dave Perillo. John might have a framed print hanging on the wall at home…

You can dig up your own collection of M.U.S.C.L.E. on ebay.

NEXT WEEK: We continue our topic “Personal Obsession” with Jules’s burning desire for fruit based technology giants.
