A jointed action figure of a tiger hooded wrestler about 21 cm tall; the maker is not recorded.
The Piece
The heavily muscled figure wears the striped hood, blue trunks, wrist bands and gold boots, and is jointed for posing.
A Hero in Stripes
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.
The maker of this jointed figure is not recorded, and it is offered on what the photographs show: hood, blue trunks, wrist bands and gold boots, with the marks and wear noted. 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.
