Pressing the button connected to it pumps it with air and inflates its muscles for a brief second, and so the user is tasked with timing pressing the button as the doll punches a punching bag. It also comes with a championship-belt accessory<ref>"Check out the new championship-belt accessory!" ~ [[Superb]] epilogue to [[Figure Fighter 2]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. Despite being a toy, it can talk, and is seemingly sentient. It is also referred to as male<ref>"There he goes!

The Muscle Doll comes in a few varieties. The [[Figure Fighter 2|Figure Fighter]] Muscle Doll comes in a regular box<ref>"I finally got my Muscle Doll! When I took it out of the box and started playing, Mom took the empty box and said we might "have a use for it sometime." Suspicious." ~ [[Empty Box]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, is grey with red boxing gloves and shoes, and is cheaper. The limited-edition [[Figure Fighter 3|Figure Fighter 2]] Muscle Doll comes Mint-in-Box<ref>"My brother just collects the Muscle Dolls--he doesn't play with them. He's got a limited-edition red one still in the box. What's the point of a full box?" ~ [[Mint-in-Box Figure]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, is metallic red<ref>"Mon frère ne joue pas avec ses figurines gonflette. Il se contente de les collectionner. Il en a une super rare, rouge métallisé, qu'il garde dans sa boîte. Il pourrait me la donner, quand même..." (My brother doesn't play with his inflatable figures. He just collects them. He has a super rare, metallic red one that he keeps in his box. He could give it to me, anyway...) ~ [[Mint-in-Box Figure|Figurine collector]], ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (French)</ref> with dark blue boxing gloves and shoes, and is more expensive. They are popular with children, but parents seem reserved on purchasing them, as they expect them to quickly break one way or another<ref>[[Parental Controls]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref>. A knock-off version called a Mussel Doll also exists. When the user pumps air into it, it clings to a rock<ref>"I asked my grandma to buy me a Muscle Doll, but she got me a Mussel Doll instead. When you pump the air, it clings to a rock. I couldn't hurt her feelings, so I pretended to love it. *sigh*" ~ [[Knock-Off Muscle Doll]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.

In [[Figure Fighter]], the player sees a grey Muscle Doll punching a bag in a small boxing ring as an announcer tells it what kind of punches to do. This doll reappears in [[Figure Fighter 2]], where it fights in a boxing ring surrounded by fans, defending its champion title. In [[Figure Fighter 3]], a red version appears, defending its title once again. Despite being a different version of the toy, it is implied this doll is the same as the one seen in the previous games.

[[Remix 3 (Wii)|Remix 3]] features a pink Muscle Doll in what looks like a kitchen. [[Machine Remix]] has a grey Muscle Doll with red boxing gloves and shoes wearing a worker's hat and covered in paint. This one is seen in what looks like an auto shop or factory.

At some point, a new fighting game involving the Muscle Dolls is introduced, called "[[Figure Fighter VS]]". Two players control a Muscle Doll with a balloon over their heads on opposite sides, and they make them punch a button with good timing. With each punch, the opponent's balloon gets inflated (the better the timing, the bigger it gets) until it blows up, and the standing player is declared the winner. [[Barista]] sets it up in the [[Café]] at [[StreetPass Terrace]] during the story of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', with the player being able to play against other characters from the story, or with random people through StreetPass.
