Mogura House Minoru Suzuki & Naomichi Marufuji figure set

For blog #101, we'll be taking a look at the limited edition Minoru Suzuki and Naomichi Marfuji
GHC Tag Team figure set by Mogura House.

The packaging contains Minoru Suzuki's Pancrase Mission stable logo (top
left corner), the Pro-Wrestling NOAH logo (top right) as well as the text
"THE 10TH GHC TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS" - a reference to Minoru
Suzuki and Naomichi Marufuji becoming Pro-Wrestling NOAH's Global
Honored Crown Tag Team Champions on June 18th, 2005.

This two pack is a rare example of two Japanese toy companies joining
forces. As such, Character Product (responsible for making Minoru Suzuki
figures) and Mogura House (known for producing Pro-Wrestling NOAH
figures)'s logos are placed at the bottom left and right corners.

                                       

The Minoru Suzuki & Naomichi Marufuji GHC figure set came in two
different variants. This set is the very special alternate color variant that
features Minoru Suzuki in his classic white-colored Pancrase attire.



Nope, it's not skillful packaging; the absolute highlight of the set is the GHC
Tag Team Championship belt which is molded directly into Minoru's hand!

To date, there are no other Minoru Suzuki figures available that feature
Suzuki holding ANY Championship belt!

Strategically, the limited edition two-pack does not feature Minoru's
signature entrance towel (which is only available in the Character
Product single-packed Minoru Suzuki white and black attire figure
variants).

                                

The included Naomichi Marufuji figure variant (in silver attire with
medium length hair and facial hair) also includes a matching GHC
Tag Team Heavyweight Championship.

Beyond the two variants of this two-pack, no other Marufuji figure
comes packaged with the GHC Tag Team belt; making this set even
more desirable to Puroresu fanatics.


As an added bonus, the deluxe two-pack contains a super-sized acrylic
display base, four figure holders and an attachable nameplate which reads
both Minoru and Naomichi's names.

The back of the packaging contains individual bios of both Wrestlers as
well as striking graphics to match.
