Seven down, three to go...

Thanks to Colorado Rocket's site I first came in contact with Popy figures. That wonderful first wrestling figure-line (dated 1981!) from Japan.

Thanks to Stomwijf I learned they were "Popy" figures and he pointed me to my first bidding agent.

Then the fun began; searching on a japanese site (Yahoo! Japanese Auctions) for Popy figures...

In March 2004 I finally won my first Popy:

Hulk Hogan

In September 2004 I was able to add another two:

Abdullah The Butcher & Andre The Giant

It would take a year, to finally add another Popy:

Stan Hansen

Number five would be for July 2007:

Mil Mascaras

Stomwijf asked me if I was interested in one of his loose figs, since he started his MOC collection. Well, ofcourse I did, so in December 2007 I could add:

Antonio Inoki

Lately I was a bit sidetracked by my interest in Collector's Cases. However Stomwijf asked how many Popys I was missing and he pointed me to this one (bought in December 2008, arrived three days ago):

Harley Race

Once again stunned how beautiful these Popys are; I thought they'd made Harley hairy, but his tattoos are engraved on his arms!

So thank you Colorado and Stomwijf!!!

...And thus the hunt for the last three begins: Bob Backlund, Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk.
