{"product_id":"bearbrick-series-27-hero-tiger-mask-100","title":"BE@RBRICK Series 27 Hero \"Tiger Mask\" (100%)","description":"\u003cp\u003e Tiger Mask is one of the most legendary figures in Japanese pop culture, representing a unique fusion of manga, anime, and live-action wrestling. The story of the masked tiger begins in 1968 with the manga series by Ikki Kajiwara and Naoki Tsuji, which was adapted into a 105-episode anime series from 1969 to 1971. The plot tells the story of Naoto Date, a feared heel wrestler from America who returns to Japan and becomes a hero after an orphan boy takes him as his role model. Tiger Mask became a symbol of the fight against the criminal organization Tiger's Den and of social activism on behalf of orphans. In 1981, New Japan Pro-Wrestling licensed the character and created the first true Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama, who revolutionized the junior heavyweight division and became the first wrestler to simultaneously hold the WWF and NWA junior titles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis Bearbrick from Series 27 perfectly captures the iconic design. The head features the characteristic yellow and black tiger mask with its distinctive white eye patches, aggressive expression, and black tiger stripes across the forehead and cheeks. The flesh-colored torso represents the typical wrestler look with suggested muscles, while the yellow and black tiger stripes on the waist and legs replicate the legendary wrestler's costume. Blue tights and black boots complete the classic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis Bearbrick is more than just a collector's item; it's a piece of wrestling and anime history.
