Villainous intentions
There’s some characters you’d just know are an enemy by simply their menacing look and opposing form that made the best villains in imaginative battles. Within the M.U.S.C.L.E. series there are many examples of these but Tigerian is a fan favorite to many for his distinctive design that lends its origins to an enormous story line. Originally created by the artistic pair of friends collectively dubbed Yudetamago of Japan, this odd tiger hybrid is a minor but memorable antagonist.
With a character design that reflects a primal tiger inspired wrestling beast displaying ferocity and brutal fighting style. He serves as a supporting background opponent amongst the roster of of hundreds of other equally obscure yet entertaining character forms in tournaments or larger scene battles.
His identity from the original Kinnikuman series of his creation was lost in the Mattel licensing for the Western markets and rebranded as one of the Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere. The newly introduced fan base easily filled in his back story and signature moves in their on imaginations finding him a new conduit for storied battles in all his forms.
For the North American markets it was opted to introduce the selection of the toy line figures from the Japanese keshi series of their same likeness. Except a tougher material and different color variants were chosen over the softer eraser material and duller coloring of the originals.
The beastly form of the figure found fans with a over-the-top monster for epic battles in playgrounds and living rooms. Adding to the enormous Kinnikuman universe of wildly diverse characters from the hilarious to the macabre, to the anthropomorphized animal villain that Tigerian presents perfectly.
