The story of an orphan who fights under a tiger hood to support the children of his old home made the character a household name in Showa Japan. Toy makers answered at once with soft vinyl dolls whose hood lifts away to show the face beneath, tin plate vehicles and coin banks. Half a century on, complete examples with cape and hood are scarce, since both were the first parts to be lost in play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Popy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tiger Mask II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Figure, cape, belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes are measured by hand; please allow a small margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo conspicuous marks or stains are recorded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eAB (clean, no conspicuous marks)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker and period are given as the previous keeper describes them and as the marks in the photographs support.
