This series brings back fond memories of the original kinnikuman series for me. It was goffy, but then would get dramatic. I think as the seires goes on Kintaro (the son of Kinnikuman or King Muscle here in the states) will be pushed to his limits and become the Best Wrestler he's going to be.

I think the seires has good potential. :D

Can't wait for the figures to be released here in the states!

Who? Kintaro? If so, yes. Both his father (Kinnikuman) and Kinnikuman Mantaro wear masks. I'm not too sure that's a known history as not too many people in the states have seen the O.G. series.

Back in the day, it was a notorious storyline where many opponents would attempt to take off Kinnikuman's mask off. I actually think it WAS done later in the series.

In the beginning of the Ultimate Muscle intro, you'll see the mask being put on by Kintaro.

Okay, I am thoroughly in love with this show. It has such humor and everything. I know that this series will get serious as time goes on, but not by THAT much. I loved the fart battle between KinTaro and his dad, Kinnikuman. What fun!

Can't wait for these toys to come out.

Thanks Dragon. I actually went to a local Japanese store here in San DIego and had bought a Kinnikuman Nisei book. It was a collection of all the issues from Shonen Jump. It also had a review and pictures of the PS2 video game. It looks, okay. Not the best. But, I am also more privy to the original and want to see Broken Jr. and Buffalo Man in their prime. hehehee....

I would LOVE to see the states bring the game over. Hopefully they will. I think Ultimate Muscle is a success! :D

Dreamer! That was so cool of you! I appreciate the work. Thanks for all the great pics and links. The pics from figures.com are the ones that I'm looking for. They're kind of made like the older Kinnikuman figures from the original series. I'm not sure if they're the same height, but it kinda looks like it. Thanks again!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, a friend of mine here at work is an artist and is coming out with a magazine that focuses on Anime! He has a good crew of people and it should be coming out on a quarterly basis at first.

I will be guest writing an article about "Ultimate Muscle" for issue #2! I have to get writing this weekend! Woohoo! :lol:
