Popy produced the 'Super Professional Wrestling'-series in 1981, the ten foreign wrestlers (Inoki was born in Japan but in 1957 his family moved to Brazil) were under contract to booking Agent Don O'Neill. The figures are 5.5" tall and move at the arms and waist. I have the Popy set loose, it took me a little over 6 years to complete; all ten figures: Abdullah The Butcher, Andre The Giant, Antonio Inoki, Bob Backlund, Dory Funk jr, Harley Race, Hulk Hogan, Mil Mascaras, Stan Hansen, Terry Funk Andre was my cheapest: $88 (without s&h), Hansen my most expensive: $163 (without s&h). Andre and Abdullah are the most common to find. Most of them I bought in Japan, with the help of a bidding agent; you pay the figure cost + shipping within Japan + shipping to you + a commission fee. My complete collection:   Abdullah The Butcher & Andre The Giant   Bob Backlund & Dory Funk, Jr.   Stan Hansen & Hulk Hogan   Antonio Inoki & Mil Mascaras   Harley Race & Terry Funk |

I saw someone post a complete MOC set on eBay months ago. I believe they were asking an opening bid of around $1300. I watched it and was surprised when no one bit. It was a high number - but a fair one.

Yeah - I really wish I could remember what it was listed as and when so I could provide a link but I can't seem to find it.
Some were really good cards - some were slightly damaged. It was impressive nonetheless.
Searching completed listings for "Popy Wrestling" on eBay, I noticed that a loose Hulk Hogan in really good condition recently sold for $500. Damn.
