is of the beast himself: Bob Sapp!
Even Sapp's packaging is intimidating! |
Right from the get go, the packaging of the Bob Sapp HAO figure immediately
jumps out at you with large, intimidating graphics of Sapp shouting.

"Bob Sapp Figure Limited model" |
The front and back of the packaging state that this figure is a limited edition.
It is also worth noting that this figure was only released in Japan.
As a exclusive from the first wave of HAO figures, this rarity was licensed by
the K-1 mixed martial arts promotion (which Bob competed for at the time).
Jumbo Bob Sapp trading card, anyone? |
As with other HAO figures, the cardboard backing can be slipped off easily
(without damaging the packaging) revealing a large, full colour graphic of
Sapp that can be displayed on it's own.
"What did you say about the Longest Yard?!" |
Sapp sculpted with his signature (and terrifying) stare!
All in the (nick)name. |
The back of Sapp's ring trunks prominently display Sapp's nickname in black font.
The same font is also used on the front of the packaging.
Ready for a stompin' |
A master on the dance floor, too! |
The Bob Sapp HAO Collection figure includes articulation at the neck, arms, wrists
and waist.

Closing thoughts:
Just like the man himself, the HAO Collection Bob Sapp figure is larger than life.
Standing just under 8 inches (20cm) tall; this figure literally towers over most
Wrestling (especially Japanese) and mixed martial arts collectibles!
In their original six year run, HAO would only release one Bob Sapp soft vinyl
figure as part of their HAO Collection line; making this limited edition, Japanese
exclusive a considerable collector's item. "GAHHHH!"
