Millions of Unusual Creatures Lurking Everywhere also known as MUSCLE is a Mattel toyline that burned hot and bright for a very short time.
These tiny, rubbery pink men were an import from Japan and merchandise from Kinnikuman, who started as a parody of other Japanese shows at the time.
The jump from Japanese Kinkeshi to Mattel's MUSCLE was quite the journey and is still going to this day...
