This is one of those things I grew up with... it was called M.U.S.C.L.E. in the states and Kinnikuman in Japan. In the states we pretty much only got the mini figures that where flesh\peach colored. However in Japan they had an an anime\manga and apparently more figures in different sizes and full color ones. It was a bunch of unique funky looking wrestlers... my friends and I used to compete as to how big a jar we could collect of them and traded and saw who could get the more rare ones.
I saw some pics at this blog tonight and I don't know how many of you know of this blog or what. But there was one pic in particular that amused me so that made me feel like writing something here about it:
and
At one time I was a purist and wouldn't consider anything bigger or colored anything other than flesh but wow... these look so good especially the first pic of the same figure in different sizes but the same color. This truly makes me feel like venturing past only having the american version "MUSCLE" in my collection and getting actual japanese kinnikuman stuff if I can track it down especially the larger full color stuff.
The pic of the one in bigger sizes reminded me of a dream I once had where I had lots more MUSCLE style figures but in different sizes I had a few years back.
