Muscle Wrestling Action Figures Star in Anime

This is a call back to our youth. Where plastic figures dance. And make romance. On TV. In Japan.



All hail Josh McCormick, new prince of TV in Japan.

Comments:
Are you kidding me, that has to be the intro of "Muscleman" (Kinnikuman in Japan)! That was on TV here in Europe when I was er.. younger. Mixed Dragonball-esque fights with utter silliness in the purest Japanese tradition (Kinnikuman "charges up" when he eats garlic, and he has a devastating... farting ability...). Ah, memories.
 
Kinnikuman is also the precursor to Ultimate Muscle, which showed on kid's TV a year or two ago, which features the son (?) of Kinnikuman battling various villians resembling (for example) walruses and lavatories, and features some of the worst puns you'll ever hear.
