www.spam.com/wrestling/news/142134/Various-News:-More-On-Danielson-Choking,-Jakks-Signs-Up-A-New-Wrestling-Company.htm - Jakks Pacific's Marketing Director of Boys Entertainment Michael Wilde has confirmed that the company has signed a deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling. The deal will allow Jakks to use the NJPW name, logo, and championships in their forthcoming Legends of Wrestling action figure set. The deal opens the door for the company to do New Japan wrestling action figures, but the company would have to sign the wrestlers on an individual basis. The first figure in the legends line under the New Japan deal will be the NJPW era Hulk Hogan action figure. Jakks also has deals with TNA and the NWA.

This is what I've been hoping of them. I'm not totally familiar with individual companies in Japan, so could we start listing some great legends they could make now? Are we talking Liger, Misawa, who?

They can't make any of the NJPW wrestlers unless they sign them individually, but it's still great to see some new belts... and i'm happy about the Hogan thing... hope Legend series1 will come with the belt he used to have around his waist when he was champion during his period in Japan. Also, there's a chance we can see a Lesnar figures with his red WRESTLING attire from his Japan run, as he is already signed with jakks for the UFC line.

I would kill for a DA Muta figure...whether it's current Keiji Mutoh (my preference) or old-school WCW Muta I'm down.

i've never followed NJPW, can anyone answer me this question -
were any WCW/WWF guys from the monday night wars era (95-01) big enough in NJPW that we might see a figure?

Great Muta, Kensuki Sasaki, Masahiro Chono, Scott Norton, Tenzan, Scorpio, Ultimo Dragon, Shinjiro Otani, Great Sasuke, Black Tiger, Jyshin Liger, Vader and there are others but thats just a few. |

Ultimo Dragon I would love to see more figures of. possibly Vader if he had a better headscan. according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Japan_Pro_Wrestling_roster Tajiri and Albert are also part of the roster. would love to see new figures of them too. Taka Michinoku and Chyna are also on the former roster, how much chance do you NJPW fans think we have of getting a new figure of them? |

If they have to sign wrestlers individually, I don't totally understand what this deal is really about. But if it means we get a Jushin Liger....awesome!!
