Mogura House Mitsuharu Misawa (Christmas Edition) figure review

Our Mogura House figure coverage continues with blog #98 which takes
a look at another alternate colour variant: the Mogura House Mitsuharu
Misawa Christmas edition figure.


The Mitsuharu Misawa Christmas edition variant contains the same,
identical packaging as the regular Misawa figure version


...except for a special red sticker with gold foil writing.

Like the limited edition Kenta Kobashi Yoyogi version (which you can read
more about HERE<------), the included date (2001.12.24) is a reference to
 Pro-Wrestling NOAH's "Joyful Gift From NOAH" event that was held on
December 24th, 2001 at the Differ Ariake Stadium in Tokyo, Japan.

Mitsuharu Misawa was well known for his love of Kurisumasu; often by trading
in his classic green attire and dressing as Santa himself for NOAH's Christmas
events.



There is no difference to the back of the packaging from the standard
Mitsuharu Misawa figure variant.

When removed from his packaging.





The Christmas version features Misawa with his modern facial hair design.

On a side note: I recommend being VERY careful when cleaning/polishing
this figure's face as enough pressure can remove parts of Misawa's beard.








In total, there were only three figures released of Mitsuharu Misawa in
Christmas attire (the 1 of 500 HAO Collection figure, the super-sized
fully articulated action figure and the above example); all of which, were
released in very limited numbers.
