Just recently, I was asked to pick up this rare bundle of multiple Onita goods for a friend living in the
U.S. in time for the Onita vs Tremont match coming up in August and thought I'd share it with everyone:
The Riki Choshu vs Atsushi Onita figure set:
This two figure set features the rare Charapro Atsushi Onita figure.
Exclusive to this set is also a mini-replica of Onita's contract to face NJPW legend Riki Choshu
(who accepted Onita's challenge and came out of retirement for the match).
In typical Japanese fashion, the figure set is licensed by both Toukon Shop and Onita's personal "Evil
Ways" company. Unlike the limited edition bronze and clear Onita figure variants, this figure set is not
numbered.
While there has been discussion about the Choshu vs Onita figure set before in previous threads, this
particular figure set also included a replica printout of the actual contract Onita and Choshu signed
complete with printed stamp!
The contract came folded in an envelope with this inscription on the front
...and the back of the envelope.
Without question, this is definitely one of the coolest pieces I've tracked down recently.
Do any of you have a copy of the contract and envelope, too? I'm guessing that these
add-ons were given out as in-store promotional items for buying the figure set. Around
the same time Riki Choshu also made a surprise appearance promoting the first wave
of Character Product's Pro-Kaku Heroes - Mini Big Heads figures at a Japanese RINGSIDE
event.
And... from another auction, I was also able to score these extra hardcore items:
Posters, programs and a very cool Onita autograph on traditional Japanese Shikishi Board!
The Onita program comes in a durable, folding portfolio with super-glossy prints.
The removable prints from the Onita program souvenir. Simply awesome and just begging
to be autographed then framed.
