'WISHING WELL' IS DEN OF MISFIT M.U.S.C.L.E
Emminent M.U.S.C.ologist delves into bin of falsehood

A damning new report from the founder of the World M.U.S.C.L.E. Federation has revealed that recent rumours of bootleg M.U.S.C.L.E infiltrating gum machines are only the tip of the proverbial bootlegging iceberg. The report suggests that unscrupulous toymakers have fabricated many spectacular varients of the original M.U.S.C.L.E, in an attempt to keep Kinnikumaniacs occupied while the government carries out sinister mind control experiments on their kidneys. In the interests of public hygene we print the report here in full:

Bin

"After reading your new articles on 'Misfit M.U.S.C.L.E.s', I felt that it was my duty to inform everyone of the existence (past existence, really) of pseudo-M.U.S.C.L.E.s at a craft and party supply store called 'Wishing Well' right here in Sacramento, California. Many years ago, Wishing Well used to sell small toys individually in bins of one to two thousand. Included among these toys was a bin filled with over 1,500 fake M.U.S.C.L.E.s!!"

Coloring The Tights
"They were identical [to real M.U.S.C.L.E] in size, shape and character, and came in an assortment of colors not found in the natural M.U.S.C.L.E. world, including yellow, light red, and forest green. Some of them even went a step further, using the immortal pink color for the body, and COLORING the tights and boots in colors like blue or red! They were not quite as high-quality as Mattel's, but they only cost 3 cents apiece!! But the best part about them was that you could go through the bin and PICK OUT whichever ones you wanted!! Imagine getting to choose from over 1,500 M.U.S.C.L.E.s!"

I Like Them
"I have several of these Misfit M.U.S.C.L.E.s, and I like them just as much as my real M.U.S.C.L.E.s. I just thought everyone might like to know that the world of Misfit M.U.S.C.L.E.s goes WAY beyond gumball machines!"

An undercover tights and boot(leg)s colourist, who cannot be named for legal reasons and can only be refered to as 'Mr Pants-Painter', refused to comment on the situation. He was later arrested for dangerous diving.
