Seeing all those never-to-be-sold Ichibans made me feel bad. But I pulled a Linus from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and spruced him up for you all to see. "It's not a bad figure, Charlie Brown. All it needed was a little customizing." So, for your viewing (dis)pleasure, I give you what I made out of the two Ichis I got. Merry Christmas, Ichi Brown!

I get that it wasn’t the most desired figure for most. However, I was very happy to have it. Hogan’s early years in Japan are very underrated.

Honestly, it was probably when Hulk was at his coolest. Not saying much but still.

Once this figure is available for 4.99 plus shipping on the bay like Stacy Keibler ended up being, I'm gonna buy one JUST for my "Gimmick Stars" shelf (AKA the Wrestlecrap + Random Weird stuff shelf I'm planning)
I have a whole list of figures planned or waiting for this shelf, and front and center will be the Gookerman himself.

I thought the Ichiban oversaturation was an isolated thing until I saw these at one store today.

And we still have to pay a premium over here - especially for the L22 chase, and the Superstars.

This f’ing figure has pretty much ruined my chances of getting a Darkside Hogan I think 😞

Looking at the pics I posted, I have to say that I like the Superstars version a hundred times more than the Ultimate custom I made. That niche gear is fun on the Superstars figure, but quite bland on the Elite it came with. (I’m surprised no one ever mentioned how big that shirt is compared to all the other Hogan shirts.)
As for my “Just left AWA/Just arrived in WWE Dec 1983/Jan 1984” custom Ultimate Hulk, I like that a lot. I have a soft spot for that time period.
I would like a black “AMERICAN MADE” shirt for that figure, similar to the red one that came with the Then/Now/Whenever/Whatever 4-pack. Or another similar old fashioned “made at a shopping mall” t-shirt to use for it.
Meanwhile, mini Ichi Brown is with my other Superstars, and he looks great, while Big Ichi is at the back of the display where he belongs, and black trunks Hulkster is toward the front and center, between a couple of the Hulks on cycles.

Speaking about Hogans I hope Mattel gives us some new nWo Hogan scans with an earring from ‘96–‘97

Me too. That's when I started watching wrestling.
