The Great Sasuke Mexican Bust figure review

Welcome back to the largest source of information for Japanese Pro-
Wrestling collectibles on the web.

In this online archive, you'll find hundreds of pictures, in-depth coverage
from the last 80 years as well as the Wrestling history behind each item.

Blog #122 takes a look at another incredibly obscure figure of legendary
Japanese masked man: The Great Sasuke!




This obscure bust of The Great Sasuke was made in Mexico in the
1990's as part of a small series of Wrestling souvenirs.
Scale-wise, the hand-painted Sasuke bust stands about 3 and a half inches .
The material seems to be made of a durable clay/plastic mold that is not
hollow.


Despite it's sloppy paint work and crude appearance, the Sasuke bust
is far superior quality-wise when compared to the common Mexican
"Arena Figures" from the era.

                          

The bottom of the base reads "SASUKE".


The back of the Sasuke bust reads "MEXECO" (Mexico in Espanol).

The bottom of the base is made of fabric to avoid scratching when
displaying  the Sasuke bust on wooden surfaces.

To date, the only other figure in which I have uncovered from this line
is fellow masked Wrestler Octagon. Were there more figures in this
series?

Only time will tell as the search for Pro-Wrestling rarities continues...
