Hey Chavo!
Minor in stature in the figures form, and minor in appearances in his actual origins in the Japanese Kinnikuman manga and anime franchise with a brief role. Chavo Kuerrori appears originally in the American Tour story arc that didn’t follow the figure to the English-speaking markets Mattel distributed them in under their collective M.U.S.C.L.E. identity deemed more approachable for the new consumer base.
Standing as a tribute / parody of the memorable real-life professional wrestler Chavo Guerrero Sr. and presented as a Justice Chojin from California. Adding to the broad roster of unique characters in the enormous Kinnikuman universe created by the artistic pair of Japanese friends known as Yudetamago. Who continue to produce the still popular stories and characters with the same imagination they did since their beginning in the late 1970s.
Most fans of the M.U.S.C.L.E. toys line wouldn’t find out their identities and story roles until much later, but Chavo appears as an affiliate of the World Superman Association (WSA) and loses his championship status to reinforce the rise of the primary hero of the franchise for which it’s named, Kinnikuman.
With a signature technique using the Chavo Kick, his wrestling techniques are straightforward and common among many early American competition characters. Despite his limited appearance time and not becoming a re-occurring character in the series he still became a memorable figure for M.U.S.C.L.E. fans as a smaller figure.
