Ok for all those international wrestling fans out there who collect figs of Japan and Mexico's top stars i'm interested in starting collecting their figs and using them in my own fed, i've seen so many matches of guys like Muta, Tanahashi, Jun Akiyama, Cibernetico, Ultimo Guerrero and such that i'd like to add figs of them to my fed.
But what are the points of articulation like on them? are they ok for being played with or just for presentational display value? and despite the real life height differences what are the size comparisons of there figs compared to Jakks RA series or TNA's standard size figs?

Japan figures can't be played with IMO, They look good set up though, But they don't really have articulation.
CMLL figures, Are good though and you can order them from High**Spots. Just remove the two stars. I would recommend those if you're going to play with them, But for display Japan figures look awesome.

Most five inch size japanese figures only have the arms move and the waist but some have just the arms. They are more about detail than being able to be played with. They are also about two to three inches smaller in height than standard Jakks RA figures.

i agree, Play with jakks if your looking to start your own fed, japanese figures are much more limited in quantity and usually higher priced, highly detailed and made for the collector.
... 'jakks for play, japanese for display'.
