Yeah, I ALWAYS wanted to know the name of the Skull-masked wrestler. Skull Star has now been added to my list. SICK collection man.
Some of the villains are less expensive than you think on YJA. If you're patient, you can get some of them is nice shape for less than new vinyl. Tiger Mask himself seems to be the most expensive.
Thanks guys, yeah as Elvis says one of the nice things about collecting these (aside from the weirdness factor) is they are relatively affordable and show up pretty regularly. This is a good place to start if you are looking to get into vintage stuff, a lot of bang for your buck.
Can we see some shots of them all in the ring having a big fight. Reminds me how lucky I was to be taken by my Dad as a kid to see Andre the Giant kick Hulk Hogans ass.
Great score. The Tiger Mask is so much harder to come by. So you now have 'yellow' mask and 'orange' mask versions?
^^ Oops, my bad, missed that you were quoting originally. Congrats again, I hope to find one too someday, so I can have some ring battles with my villains
Cool, is it a mexican version? I have some godzilla and ultraman mexican bootlegs and the style is similar
Does anyone know how many versions of the standard size Tiger Mask were released by Nakajima? Were there three versions?
Apparently there are three versions of the standard size dude. They all seem to just slightly different mask colors. Mine is more of a yellow then OA's (as you pointed out) For more info check out http://www4.airnet.ne.jp/pancra/tigre/index/fig.html
I love that site.Always go back to it.One day I hope to get the giant Tiger Mask with the killer belt.
Great stuff, thanks to all of you. Yeah, that website is great, wish I could find something similar for other series (in particular KR and Ninja Arashi).
Couple of random shots to resurrect this thread. Still on the hunt for the vampire guy if anyone has a leads.
