Mogura House Yoshihiro Takayama GHC Championship figure review

In our last figure review, we covered the Yoshihiro Takayama and Takao Omori
Mogura House GHC Tag Team Championship two-pack.

For blog #93, we'll be looking at the single-packed Yoshihiro Takayama figure
with GHC Heavyweight Championship belt.



The packaging for the Yoshihiro Takayama figure features the text " GHC Global
Honored Crown".



(Though, hard to see in the above photo) the packaging also contains the text
"Navigation For The Victory" in red coloring; which is a reference to Pro-
Wrestling NOAH's Navigation For The Victory tour which ran from March
18th to April 15th, 2001.

                                  

The back of the packaging contains an extensive description of Pro-Wrestling
NOAH's biggest championship - the GHC Global Honored Crown and it's
inception into the NOAH promotion.

Let's take a look at a loose example:


                                

This is the only Mogura House figure to feature Takayama with a GHC
Heavyweight Championship and "fighting pose" sculpt.

                          

The Takayama figure uses the same face sculpt as the GHC Tag Team two
-pack version that was also packaged with tag partner Takao Omori.

Again, the loose example (the packaged version for sale is in better condition)
is another side-effect of paint discolouration found in early Japanese figures
(that used a special type of yellow/gold coloured paint).

                              


Takayama's GHC Heavyweight Championship belt can be placed around
Takayama's waist or slung over his shoulder seamlessly.
