Mogura House Kenta Kobashi Limited edition Yoyogi Ver. figure review

The Mogura House figure coverage continues with blog #87: the Kenta Kobashi
"Yoyogi" ver. figure review.

In 2002, Kenta Kobashi (then competing for Pro-Wrestling NOAH) had
resurrected his classic early 1990's All Japan Pro-Wrestling attire for Pro
-Wrestling NOAH's "NOAH Accomplish Our Second Navigation 2002 -
Tag 14" event which was held on July 26th, 2002 in Tokyo, Japan.

In the 7th match, Kenta Kobashi teamed with long-time rival Mitsuharu
Misawa and Sataru Asako to take on fellow All Japan veterans Akira Taue
, Masou Inoue and Makoto Hashi in a six man tag team match.

As a limited edition figure variant, the Yoyogi version includes a special
orange sticker with gold foil font and the date of the event.

The word "Yoyogi" is a reference to the Yoyogi National Gymnasium
where the NOAH Accomplish Our Second Navigation 2002 - Tag 14
event has held.

Mixing the past and present, the Kenta Kobashi Yoyogi version figure
features Kobashi's classic All Japan ring attire.

The Yoyogi version is a limited edition colour variant of Kobashi's
standard purple and black ring attire.

                              


With clenched fists, the Kobashi Yoyogi figure is ready to fight.


                          

The back of the Kenta Kobashi Yoyogi version includes the copyrighted
