M.U.S.C.L.E FIGURES
Has there ever been any talk about making M.U.S.C.L.E pops? I remember buying these little figures when I was a kid and loved them. It would be cool if Funko made pops of this line.

I cant think in a way that MUSCLE figurines work in a Pop version, the designer that could do that desserves a prize

I agree. This would be an awesome idea. I remember I use to think the colors that weren't flesh tone were super special as a kid.

Since 8 bit pops exist, I’m convinced these could be a thing too. would fall under the obscure definition of pops

I had to look up what those figures were. If they can make a stretch Armstrong they can make these.

This is a great idea, I still have a collection of my old MUSCLE guys! I don't think it's that obscure, this MUSCLE style was also used to make WWE and Masers of the Universe figures. I would definitely pick them up!

Certainly, or perhaps under the Retro Toy category line. I think I still have some in my collection

You have great taste my friend! I honestly don't think they'd be that difficult to design.

Re: M.U.S.C.L.E FIGURES
The size of this line would be big. The amount of characters that toy line had seemed to never end. I remember having a whole mason jar full and that was just a portion when they first dropped in the 80’s. I think there were over 150 wrestlers.
Trujitsu Ninja Interest pops Demon Slayer and Naruto. Movie pops Pennywise, Killer Clowns and Warriors.

Great idea! I loved these as a kid. I was able to get some special edition WWE figures from SDCC years ago.

I appreciate it but I concur that it should not be challenging to accomplish. If my memory serves me correctly, I purchased a MUSCLE MOTU set from Super7 that was available at my Target. I believe there are also the regular line but new designs from Super7

Re: M.U.S.C.L.E FIGURES
I loved these so much when I was a kid. I had the ring and everything. When I was in my early 20's a friend of mine brought a guy over to our house and he stole my figures, which still bums me out to this day
A line of Pops might make up for that

Damn, that sucks. People can be real jerks. When I was a kid I use to collect baseball cards. I had them with me and some random kid that was walking down my street asked me to see my cards. He stole my Ken Griffey Jr Upperdeck rookie card. I didn't realize until I got home later that day. Needless to say I was bummed.

Definitely in the obscure pop section. I'm still hoping for the DDR background dancer characters as pops.

I had no idea what these were so I just looked them up. I think Bitty POPS fill this product section for Funko

Re: M.U.S.C.L.E FIGURES
If I am remembering them correctly they're a pretty basic but have room some cool sculpts. I feel like that is where funko has been lacking a bit. I feel like they would come out too basic.. unless they did bitty versions which I think someone mentioned

Good call for them to be in the Bitty pop line but if they did a big one image a Freddy muscle one.

Re: M.U.S.C.L.E FIGURES
Loved these as a kid but instead of Pops, I think it would be a fun and creative way of bring these back -- I'd do them as blind box minis. That way they have the same feel as the original releases (although some of that was clear packaging).

Re: M.U.S.C.L.E FIGURES
I can definitely see them being in Bitty or mini figure form! Regardless of the form they were to come in, I’d adore them because they’d look like prototypes!!

Re: M.U.S.C.L.E FIGURES
As much as I loved these as a kid and buy them any time I find them, I don't think they would translate well into Pops. I think if they did something like Super 7 did with licensed muscle style figures I would be all about them.
Hello. My name is Mike and I am currently most excited about the Gravity Falls line.
