Terri-Bull
Known in Japan as Buffaloman · Kinnikuman series
Terri-Bull is figure #002 of 236 in Mattel's 1985–88 M.U.S.C.L.E. line (Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere). The sculpt comes from the Kinnikuman manga and anime, where the character is known as Buffaloman — Mattel shipped the US line with no story at all, so localized names like “Terri-Bull” did the talking.

About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, legs apart, curved bull horns on head, muscular torso, spiked wristbands, studded belt and briefs, holding weapon across chest, bulky arms and legs. Like every genuine figure in the line, originals carry the “Y/S·N·T” foot stamp — a soft or missing stamp is the quickest way to spot a reproduction.
Terri-Bull is documented in 7 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Salmon, Orange, Red, Purple, Dark Blue, Light Blue). The flesh version books around $14 in mint condition, while the dark blue run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $22. As a Class C common it turns up regularly in lots and bins, which makes it an easy early checkmark — condition, not scarcity, drives its price.
