What the Muck, Man?!?!

Like most original TMNT toys, Muckman is extremely ugly and plays well with slime. Unlike most other TMNT figures, or any other figure of the eighties and nineties, Muckman has an 'action feature' specifically designed with slime in mind...or should I say 'mouth."

Muckman has a removable plug in his head that allows kids to drop a small amount of slime into his garbagey cranium and watch in awe and wonder as Muckman slowly vomits slime.

Muckman is gross enough as it is, being a mutated pile of garbage. Add drooling slime and he reaches levels of grossness not usually seen (but highly desired) in action figure history!

Of course, why stop at the mouth? Muckman actually came with a garbage can that attached to his back which could also be filled with slime, which would then ooze from the front and back of his torso. Unfortunately my Muckman does not have his garbage can, but he's so cool I may have to one day track that can down to complete him.

Muckman has a ton of small details in his sculpt. You can stare at him up close for hours admiring the muck he's made up of. Everything from mushrooms to spiders to bottles - even a teddy bear is part of this slimer's make-up!

    1. Hey may have posted the two comments back words but on the other hand one still has 4 fingers & a thumb! Remember the Trash Bag Bunch of the early nineties was way to young then to have correct analisis plus only scored one to feel but it seemed way back then was like the Bag was full of stuff but nothing hard in their then wahlah plasctic figure fully developed colered no less mind blowing so much did not understand then why they stoped if it was how this guy took them would have bought all action figures only through them unless a huge exception was made (like Muke Man up their), must have been mistaken cause anything that sweet would have either scientific explanation these days or easy to find conversations about them figures on the net pertaining to that fact. Any further investigations would be much appreciated! Thanx a Million!!!

  8. Dude! I love Muckman! I never was fond of his cartoon persona, I always liked to give him a bit more of a gruff sort of personality as a kid. Really awesome toy!

  9. Not surprisingly, Muckman seems to be pretty popular lol!

    Leon, there's a hole in the top of his head - when not being filled with slime he has a 'cap' that plugs it up so he doesn't have a hole in his head all the time.

    1. What is that sort of Slime their called? Looked into Toys R Us & is possible they do not sell it or they sell other stuff like it but need the runny stuff & that color is perfect! Loved the look of that guy so much when found out about him but had missed the fact that the TMNT makers out their had so much love for our generation by including the option to slime at the mouth freaking awesome one of the best made guys out their, wish had know way back when that Slime could be bought in any way in any form or fashion would of been all over that like a fat kid on cake! Thanx a Million!!!

    2. The slime I used here is called 'Scooby Goo' and is available at Toys R Us - in the 'preschool' or Scooby Doo section. It comes in little cans and two colors - green or purple - and they contain a Scooby Doo minifigure. The consistency can be adjusted by adding water to it to make it a little more runny.
