Okay guys, So I went back today and picked up the rest of the figures and here they are: There were 4 different versions of Giant Baba: Will be adding these guys to my HAO LOD figures back in Singapore: In the same cabinet I also spotted these other figures that were bigger: I know one of them is Tiger Mask but any idea what are the other figures are and what kind of figures they are? I'm also pretty sure the dude sporting the white trunks has an Ultimate Warrior Hasbro head on him. Any information would be much appreciated

It's one of the old gashapon AJPW figures. $3 isn't a bad price for that thing at all.

Neat looking. I always and still to this day wonder why some company over in japan doesn't make superposeable in scale with mattel wrestling figures. Always statues or gashapon like this

Always statues or gashapon like this The landscape in Japan is much different than it is here. Figures over there cost far more than they do here and that WWE/Mattel scale of figure really isn't popular in Japan, plus if they did make figures in that scale, they'd run like $60 a piece if not more. I just bought a 3.75" Solid Snake figure and after shipping it was $36. The regular size Revoltech (about Hasbro size) figures go for $50.

I thought revoltech figs were expensive because of the insane amount of articulation and swappable parts.

I'll probably go back and get the rest of the pieces tmrw They have lots of NJPW and some AWA figures there, mostly Tiger Mask stuff and the soft vinyl ones.. They're all pretty pricey though, have to be very selective on buying the wrestling stuff there..

That's part of the equation for sure but a lot of similarly scaled figures go for around the same price.

I know for a fact the white fur coated lucha, in the glass case, is a Perro Aguayo. It may be an arena figure, like the one that I have seen of it, but the one there is bigger, from what I can tell. As for the rest, I can only speculate, and I have yet to find anything that resembles them enough, outside of a Blue Demon arena figure, but certain features just don't match his look that the blue luchador carries.

Mil Mascaras is an authentic japanese figure from the charopro line or one of its sister companys
the following 3 figures are arena figures from mexico, they are basically bootlegs and all share the same bodies and heads. Perro is a hasbro warrior head and it was used on several other figures from this line which consist of hundreds of figures

I am super jealous! I would love to have all of these. I am recently really wanting to get into AJPW or NJPW figs. It has been itching on me as of late.
