Mogura House Yoshinobu Kanemaru figures review

For our landmark 100th figure review, we'll be looking at twp more standout
pieces from the Pro-Wrestling NOAH figure line by Japanese toy maker
Mogura House.

WARNING: this blog post is NSFW (not safe for work).
One of the illustrations on the Kanemaru figure's ring tights is a bit racy
and may not be suitable for your workplace environment.

Having said that, blog #100 is all all about Mogura House's GHC Jr.
Heavyweight Championship figure.


The packaging contains a large, full colour graphic of Yoshinobu Kanemaru.


                              

Exclusive to this version of the Kanemaru figure is the Pro-Wrestling NOAH
GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship belt.


The back of the packaging features Kanemaru's stats, a brief bio and
the exact same ring attire worn by the included Kanemaru figure.

The Yoshinobu Kanemaru figure comes crafted in Mogura House's
standard "fighting pose" sculpt.




With Championship belt removed, a black, red and white waist belt is
displayed. Kanemaru's tights also contain a unique blending of dark
red colouring.


Japan's answer to "Ravishing" Rick Rude: The left side of the
Kanemaru figure's tights includes an illustration of a naked woman.

I can't think of too many Pro-Wrestling figures (especially within
Japan) that feature a graphic on a figure's attire as sexualized as
the Mogura House Yoshinobu Kanemaru GHC Junior Heavyweight
figure.





The right side of Kanemaru's tights depict a hellish visage of a Japanese
fire demon along with two kosenjōbi (click HERE for more information
on kosenjōbi - the Japanese demon fire of battlefields).


The included GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship belt comes with
a blue strap.


Also exclusive to the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship is the initials
"Jr" carved into the inside of the belt.








Going through the old photo archive, the second variant of Yoshinobu features light
red tights with different decals.



                       




The three other Yoshinobu Kanemaru Mogura House figure variants.

There are in fact four different variants of Yoshinobu Kanemaru available.

1 - Woman design
2 - Woman design with GHC Belt
3 - Light red design
4 - Light red design with GHC Belt
