So, New Japan have a new president who is the ex owner of a toy company!
Hopes of a figure line maybe?!

Apparently the new president is the one who came up with the idea for the LIJ stuffed bears, that are insanely popular and sell for a ton of money on the second-hand market. Action figures have to be up soon!

That would be awesome. I find myself following New Japan just as much as WWE. Thanks Axxs TV lol. Do they not currently offer a line of figures? That seems strange given it’s such a huge company and the Japanese love their toys and collectibles.

I hope so. I want a proper action figure line. I buy whatever NJPW toys I can, pvc, vinyl, etc. But I want an ACTION FIGURE.

Well the new president is Dutch bussiness man Harold Meij. He's a former president of Takara Tomy. The only NJPW merchandising Takara Tomy ever did was:
- 13" Chono and Mutoh in 1998
- some boardgame
- in 2001 a Tomica Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Queen bus in 1:156 scale.
For now NJPW has somewhat of a deal with Funko for POP! Vinyls and HAO/16Directions has a deal.
Sure, I wouldn't mind NJPW action figures (even in the Takara Tomy Metacolle range, metal figures), but I think there's a slim chance that will happen.

We're totally getting NJPW figures at some point ... at this point it's just a matter of when IMO. Omega posted this on his Twitter last night to go along with the upcoming FirePro NJPW video game:  All just a matter of time! |

I want those so hard but already own FPWW on PC and to chuck out the change for that set JUST for the shirt/towel/toys is tough to accept. I might though. The only site I found I can order doesn't specify shirt size though.

I'm not going to buy the Japanese version of the game just for the figs. I pre-ordered off of Amazon to save $10 but I'll likely switch if they do end up offering the bundle to us. |

Surprised 16D doesn't have an Okada or Tanahashi. Where can I order the MUSCLE figures?

I really hope New Japan expands it's merch business, especially figures. With their new president having a background with a toy company i hope they release figures in the coming year.

Watching Dominion right now, the new President came out before the show and spoke Japanese to the audience! Got a great reaction. Did some reading up on him and he seems to know his stuff pretty well. Fingers crossed for a New Japan line separate from Goodsmile in the near future

I don't mean to bump an old thread but did anyone actually get the NJPW muscle figures with the video game and can share pics?
