Golgotha Cross, one of the villain wrestlers of Tiger Mask, in period soft vinyl by Nakajima Seisakusho and still sealed in the bag in which it was sold.
The Piece
The figure, in orange tights with a blue cross emblazoned on a white chest, hangs beneath a red header printed with the faces of the villains. The back of the card shows other characters in the range.
It is described as unopened. The bag and card show the creasing and wear of half a century.
Golgotha Cross and the Tiger's Den
Tiger Mask was created by the writer Ikki Kajiwara and the artist Naoki Tsuji and serialised by Kodansha from January 1968 to 1971, first in Bokura and then in Weekly Bokura Magazine and Weekly Shonen Magazine. Toei Doga's television series ran for 105 episodes from 2 October 1969 to 30 September 1971. Its hero, Naoto Date, wrestles under a tiger hood against the Tiger's Den, the organisation that trained him, and gives his purses to the orphanage where he grew up.
Nakajima Seisakusho, the toy maker known by its turtle mark, issued a soft vinyl series of Tiger Mask and the villain wrestlers sent against him, the hero's hood lifting away to show Naoto Date beneath. Golgotha Cross was one of those villains, and this one has never left the bag beneath its header. More Showa character toys are gathered on the soft vinyl shelf, and our guide to Showa tin plate and soft vinyl toys explains how they were made.
