Is t his attire a bit plain for an exclusive? This isn't about an attire, but the person. |

I admit I don’t know enough about Suzuki - I’m primarily only a wwf guy and TNA for those few years they had a good product. I know Suzuki is a legendary name and an early mma pioneer but not much more tbh. |

That head scan looks absolutely amazing, as someone who only found out about Suzuki upon his NJPW return I'm happy with his plain black tights look....but given the simplicity of his in-ring look, I'm certainly happy it looks as though extra time was spent on getting it this face done correctly. Keen for this!

Amazing - are storm comparative price to super 7 because their faces are another level imo Jushin Liger figures are from Storm and they are about $44 on RSC. I think Hogan was somewhere between 35-40 when I bought it. So very close to that range. |

Don’t know what to tell you other than it is a prototype. Hopefully it comes out better than the Super7’s. Storm did really well with Hogan and Mike Tyson in my opinion so I have high hopes for Suzuki. Liger looks good to me but I don’t own one so I can’t really say how it holds up in person.

Which is kind of my sole issue with Super7 (though i am a fan) which is we're paying premium import prices for figures that are clearly not at the import figure level as far as materials used, articulation, paint apps and likenesses. |

I was thinking about what else they could do with this figure. There was a small possibility he could come with the Pancrase belt if they really wanted to add accessories other than alternative heads and a black towel.  Also there is an even less likely chance he could come with the Triple Crown Championship or the GHC championship.   I wouldn’t be surprised if they reused parts from other figures. They could probably get away with using Tyson’s boots/legs and someone else’s torso like Hogan. The arms would be a bit off though.   One last note…I came across someone’s awesome customs. Bravo to whoever did these!  |

Storm also made a Muhammad Ali figure. They could probably use a retooled version of that body for Suzuki.

Excellent point! He is a little leaner and not as bulky as Tyson and Hogan.  |

Hook this figure to my veins. The head sculpt looks so good.

I’d be worried about staining with the cloth towel and would prefer molded plastic. Either way the figure looks great and I’ll be buying.

Imo storm are another level
They also put out a lot less product I think than super 7 and that has to be part of why they’re so good.
