Minoru Suzuki HAO Collection figure review

Also in 2007, HAO Arts Office added another incredibly popular Wrestler
to their soft vinyl lineup: Mixed Martial Artist and Pro-Wrestling legend
"The Lonely Warrior" ...Minoru Suzuki!

                                

The removable slip-case packaging features the Pancrase promotion
logo as well as a "PANCRASE MISSION X" logo in the top left and
right corners.
As part of an "invasion" angle, Minoru would invade All Japan Pro-
Wrestling starting in 2006 with his "PANCRASE MISSION" stable.

The front of the packaging depicts Minoru on the way to the ring
cloaked in his signature entrance towel.






Minoru Suzuki stats and championship accolades are provided on
the back of the packaging. Each being organized by the various
promotions Minoru competed for.


He's calling you out: the HAO Collection Minoru Suzuki figure in
standard black-coloured ring attire.



With articulation at the wrists, waist, arms and neck, fans can also
rotate Minoru's wrists into a "come here" pose.


Like his mentor, the HAO Collection Minoru Suzuki figure comes
suited with his modern, Yoshiaki Fujiwara-inspired ring boots.




As a small extra, the sides of Minoru's ring trunks include a textured
scale design.


HAO Collection's head sculpt of "The Man With The Worst Personality In
The World" was designed to take intense selfies.




In HAO fashion, a limited edition white coloured ring attire variant was
also released in scarce numbers.

The white coloured variant pays tribute to Minoru's early Pancrase days.

Suzuki's complex hair design has also been faithfully recreated.
The lines themselves have been painted on to match Minoru's
skin tone in this vinyl figure.


The scale ring trunks are also featured in the exclusive white variant, too.
The HAO Collection Minoru Suzuki figures stand about 6 inches
tall.



More figure reviews coming soon!
