Stan Hansen (Lariat Ver.) Character Product figure review

In the early 2000's, Japanese toymaker Character Product (Charapro) released a special
line of legends figures.

One of the earliest additions to the legends line was none other than the "Badman from
Borger, Texas": Stan "The Lariat" Hansen.


                          


Released in 2003, this Stan Hansen figure was the first action figure made of the legend
in 22 years and depicts Hansen performing his iconic finisher "The Western Lariat"!

Stan comes dressed in his classic black trunks, boots and kneepads along with his signature
black elbow pad.

The text "(C) ALL JAPAN PRO-WRESTLING" is written on the back of Hansen's trunks.

The Character Product Stan Hansen figure is sculpted in a hunched over stance; ready to
apply his finisher.

Articulation wise, the Stan Hansen figure is articulated at the arms and waist.

                               

The face sculpt used for this figure is both intense and intimidating.

                               

Character Product would also re-release the Stan Hansen (Lariat Version) figure three
years later as a super-deformed Mini Big Head (Vol. 7. - Legend Fighters II) in 2006.

You can use Hansen's fingers to hold the opponent in place.

By rotating the Stan Hansen figure's waist, collectors can change the direction in which
Hansen's Lariat will strike.

An original creation: Super Lariat Machine?!!!
