Update: February 13, 2007
«©NCSX» A few months ago, the Kinnikuman Muscle Suits gave fans a way to pump themselves up with an impressive looking "body replacement" without crunches, push-ups, or sit-ups. In other words, a sixpack and pecs without the sweat. Sales have been healthy which has prompted Banpresto to announce an invaluable accessory to the Kinnikuman Muscle Suit - the Kinnikuman Mask.

Each cloth mask measures 35cm or 13.77" tall and features a flexible porthole through which your head enters. Once donned, two eyeholes and a thick-lipped mouth hole allow the wearer to see and speak. Couple the mask with the Kinnikuman Muscle Suit and your 2007 Halloween costume is complete.

While unpacking the masks from the shipping cartons this morning, we were struck at how big they are. Then again, people's noggins are pretty big and a large mask is required to encapsulate the melon completely. We were able to convince one of our neighbors to put the flesh-colored mask on but he wouldn't allow photos to be taken. In any case, some comments that were spouted while the mask was on are transcribed below:

"The fit is pretty good"
"Do I look dumb?"
"Comfortable quality cloth but the mask is claustrophobia-inducing"
"I'm never wearing this $#!^ again"
