Antonio Inoki Air Salonpas Ex Bottlecaps

 

Blog #288 Antonio Inoki Air Salonpas Ex Bottlecaps


Air Salonpas is a spray-on pain reliever. In the early 2000's, Antonio Inoki was a spokesman for Salonpas. As such, five bottlecaps were created in Inoki's likeness.


From left to right:

The grey shirt Inoki figures are based on Inoki's promo photo endorsing Salonpas.

Inoki can be seen in the same red tracksuit with the following commercial from 2002.






The original bottlecap package. The blindbag packaging mentions that there are five figures to collect.

So, if you're looking for a product targeted towards adult sports fans, with kid-friendly anime-styled cuteness and a pain reliever tie-in, the Inoki Air Salonpas figures are for you.
