M.U.S.C.L.E. Battlin' Belt


The M.U.S.C.L.E. Battlin' Belt was Mattel's pathetic attempt to make a carrying case for M.U.S.C.L.E.s. It holds 10 figures and has a little mini-ring at the belt buckle. I've never been too fond of this toy, unfortunately.



Not only do you look like a doof wearing this, but it only holds 10 M.U.S.C.L.E.s. That might be okay if you're playing with the Wrestling Ring but you can't have any sort of large scale battles. Also, its mini-ring is so small that it's impossible to play in. But it's part of M.U.S.C.L.E. history, and if you're big into M.U.S.C.L.E. collecting, it's a must for your collection. Oh, wait. No, it's not. Don't buy this.

Thanks to Doctor Dew for compositing and restoring the poster image above!  The M.U.S.C.L.E. poster was a mail-away offer from Mattel. One could be ordered by sending two four pack proof of purchases or one 28-pack proof of purchase. At first, the poster featured all-pink figures. As the line expanded into non-pink colors, the poster was updated with the new colors. Shown here is the all-pink poster.

M.U.S.C.L.E.s, also called MUSCLE men or MUSCLE things, are small, 2-inch PVC figures from the 80s with an "intergalactic wrestling" theme (M.U.S.C.L.E. is an acronym for Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere). They were most likely released in late 1985. The toyline included "hundreds of different figures" and various accessories (see the links to your right for details).
