Strange but really cool. Reminds me of the character models from WCW vs nWo World Tour.  |

Kinnikuman is the same as M.U.S.C.L.E. however in Japan Kinnikuman is bigger with anime series and manga books. Some real life wrestlers are in it (without their real name), like Dusty Rhodes who's Beauty Rhodes in the manga.

I believe they're from the late '90s or early 2000s... Edit: apparently from around 2007. |

There's also a 1985 2" M.U.S.C.L.E. figure by Mattel of a masked Beauty Rhodes (M.U.S.C.L.E. #041).

The guy I bought it from didn't have any other kinnikuman figures. And he is the only one I got from that series. I originally bought it because I thought it was a Dusty Rhodes figure from japan haha |
