Hiroyoshi Tenzan Super Star Figure Collection 9 review

Let's storm into our next figure coverage like a raging bull. Or, better yet as New Japan veteran ....Hiroyoshi Tenzan!

Blog #146 takes a look at the Hiroyoshi Tenzan Super Star Figure Collection 9 figure by Toukon Shop.

As the ninth figure in Toukon Shop's Super Star Figure Collection, this figure would also
be the first to feature the likeness of Tenzan into action figure format.

The bottom of the packaging states the Hiroyoshi Tenzan figure was made in 1998
through Toukon Shop.

The back of the packaging contains lists Tenzan's stats and a brief description of
his in-ring accolades going up to 1997.

The stats read:

"Height: 183 cm Weight: 120kg
Special moves: Diving Headbutt
                         Mongolian Chop"


Now, let's take a look at the Tenzan figure when removed from it's packaging:

Tenzan comes with his signature Bull Horn helmet entrance accessory and is decked
out in his familiar animal stripe ring trunks.

A close-up of Tenzan's helmet brings to mind Jushin Thunder Liger.

Before we had the Brahma Bull, we had Hiroyoshi Tenzan and his cool bull decal
on the back of his trunks.

With bullhorn helmet removed. Tenzan looks ready to fight!

Perhaps Tenzan's most noticeable physical trait is his unique, side-shaved mullet with yellow highlights. A look that is still synonymous with Tenzan even to this day.

As a big deal in New Japan Pro-Wrestling during the late 1990's, Toukon Shop (and later Character
Product) would go on to create several figures based on Tenzan's likeness.

In our next review we'll be looking at another Tenzan figure from Toukon Shop's DX line.
