keychain plushies, blog #137 supersizes to incredible proportions with another
great find.
Today's collectible coverage is all about Play Set Product's JUMBO Muto Bear
plush figures:
You may recognize this adorable character as the mascot of the WRESTLE1
promotion. The first Jumbo plush is the Keiji Mutoh-inspired Muto Bear.
Just like his smaller plush keychain counterpart, Muto Bear's attire is based
on Keiji Mutoh's "Sir PROMENADE" (also shortened to "PROM") ring
gear from the mid 2000's.
The included championship belt is not intended to be removed.

With his unique kneeling pose, Muto Bear can stand on his own for display
purposes when not being cuddled.
Also unlike the smaller keychain version, there is no strap or hook attached
to Muto Bear's head.
The second jumbo Muto Bear variant is based on Keiji Mutoh's evil Pro-Wrestling
alter ego: The Great Muta.
From his ring pants to his Darth Maul-inspired ring mask and body paint, the
Great Muta Muto Bear figure contains plenty of detail. There's even a draw
string on Muta's pants!

The only downside (and a very minor one at that) is the lack of detail from
the back of both plushies.
Given that this figure is made of plush with a unique design, it's also quite
difficult to stand this version of Muto Bear on his own.

When compared to a standard Japanese figure (Toukon Shop's 5" Hiroyoshi
Tenzan figure).
Both Jumbo Muto Bear plushies stand an impressive 15 inches (38 cm) tall
(making them some of the biggest Great Muta/Keiji Mutoh figures ever created).
Both plushies (and their smaller keychain equivalents) include an identical tag
which includes a picture of the Wrestler the Muto Bears are based off of (Keiji
Mutoh/The Great Muta) in front of an All Japan Pro-Wrestling backdrop (which
Keiji Mutoh served as president for between 2002 to 2013).
Confusingly, the first version is listed as "Mutoh Bear" while the Great Muta
version is simply listed as "Great Muta".
The back of the tag reads "Play Set Products X Keiji Mutoh
Play Set Products Mutoh Bear
MUTO BEAR Plushie"
Play Set Products Mutoh Bear
MUTO BEAR Plushie"
