I wonder if the second wave, if there is one, are the ones with him wearing the sarong.

They should photoshop his nipples off the package, I feel they are inappropriate. LOL what? I just feel they are not appropriate for children. My daughter whom is nearly 4, saw the picture of Rikishi and said "Daddy he have boobies" no child should have to see that, and if toy companies can produce figures without nipples to preserve the innocence of our youth, then they should do the same with the packages!!!!

Hmmm. First, I respect your opinion. It is yours and you can have it. Here are my concerns though. Is it because Rikishi is fat and your daughter thought he had boobs that you're offended? Would you care if it was Orton's nipples on the box? Because then we get into a weird territory if this is about a fat guy. Because then you're implying that all fat men should never be seen without a shirt because it is offensive and inappropriate for kids. And we can make jokes, "haha yeah it is offensive LOL," but that's sizeist thinking and it only contributes to a culture of fat-shaming. I might ask myself why a large woman would wear a small two piece swimming suit, but I would never tell her she couldn't, or that it was offensive to me or my children's eyes.

I'm still looking for Rikishi, I've seen everybody else but him but I only went to Target once to pick up The Hobbit. Ringside Collectibles has Rikishi common and variant for the same price.

I don't think so... the UK never gets the second/revised shipments - and all(?) our Rikishis have him wearing the sarong. WFigs, the only place where men debating nipples on toys is commonplace LOL. Lol - and men's stomach/chest hair...

I have never noticed Ortons nipples because they fade Into the package, where as Rikishi's are the first thing you see. It's like a full on assault when you are in the toy aisle and your face with a large man with breast and dark sausage patty nipples. There is no place for it.

I'm starting to get the gimmick. Whatever, man. I'm out.

Nice, you found the one wearing the sarong. Ya I haven't seen that one at all That's the only variant I could find in my local Smyths yesterday. I was hoping for the one with the sarong displayed to the side but no luck, so I just stuck with the one wearing the sarong.

Maybe when our TRU stores get them in, they might have ones with the sarong at the side?

The reason I wanted the variant where the sarong is displayed at the side was because I'm meeting him later this month and I was planning on getting that variant signed because I just think that variant with the sarong on the side is much better for MOC display purposes. I'm just going to stick with the one I purchased yesterday anyhow.

Hell of a Fig! In the sarong is the best variant for MOC display imo.
