 I have been after this figure for years. It was one of the first Japanese figures i ever saw, and i still think it's one of the coolest. It's been on eBay for the last week, and i've been umming and ahing about bidding on it because i thought i'd get pulled intop a bidding war. Anyhoo, with 2 minutes left and no activity, i decided to bid on it and won it for the princely sum of $34.99 (about £23). Bidding on a few more figures from the same seller, so i won't have it in hand for a couple of weeks, but i will update with pics of my own when it gets here. |

One of my favourite figures too, love it.
You got a steal IMO, what's going on with Japanese figures!!??
Some common figs go so high some rarer go low, wired.
Awesome pick up congrats!

I have nearly all figures listed by coloradorocket so don't pick up a lot these days, I remember paying twice as much as what they go for now, although muta always seems to sell high.
I need 3 figures moc to finish the njpw tohkon shop collection.

I remember dropping something stupid for the Great Nita set in 2004, i think it was about £70. In fact, that's the most i've ever paid for a figure. Second would be the Beyond the Mat Terry Funk, but i  ing love that figure so it's ok! What figures do you need? |

I was watching the Kendo Ka Shin to see what it went for. If I was still buying figures I would have been all over it.

I have the other version of Kashin so I never really chased after this one. Prices for this stuff always varies. I bought a case of 24 Dragon Gate figures for $8 a few years ago.

The I am boss Mutoh is ace - thought the saki bottle was a nice touch. I wasn't that keen on the single release bald Sasaki - much preferred the 2 pack release with his wife

What championship belt does he hold in that set? It looks gorgeous.

Does anyone have a full list of figures made by this company? I love japanese figures in this style but I dont know anything about them and if there was a full list that would be great.

Also do they do articulated figures like mattels ?

The don't. The articulation is normally limited to the shoulders. However, what they lack in articulation they make up for in detail. They are far and away the best made figures I have seen

I second that, made for collectors not really kids, and near prefect to the person.
With Mattel and jakks you see muscular bodies on guys who werent ripped, not with these. If you've got a fat gut, double chin, big ass, then the Japanese figure will have too!
