1/6 Mexican Luchador

Hola! I received a gift from Michael Perez of PointBlankToys just a few days ago. PointBlankToys sell lots of 1/6 stuff on ebay but mostly part outs and some boxed figures too. If you are in the states i.e. the US of A, you might even get free shipping. I came to know Michael through one of the 1/6 forums and he was very generous to offer me a 1/6 Mexican Luchador outfit when he found out that I didn't have one in my collection.

Mexican Lucha Libre (Spanish for "free wrestling" or "free fighting", a term used in Mexico, and other Spanish-speaking countries referring to a form of professional wrestling involving varied techniques and moves). Lucha libre performers are known as luchadores i.e. "fighter(s)" (singular luchador).

So here's my new 1/6 scale Mexican Luchador (Luchador outfit on G.I. Joe body) :> all thanks to Michael of PointBlankToys. So if you need any 1/6 part, be it body, outfit, accessories or weapons, remember to check out PointBlankToys

I shall name my 1/6 Mexican Luchador "Iwana Gorrobo " (Green Iguana) for obvious reasons. UPDATE March 14, 2010: I found out that this outfit belonged to Mexican Lucha Libre Legend "Fishman" and so we must give him the proper respect and rightfully name this 1/6 wrestling figure FISHMAN :)





Close-up details of his mask





The green and yellow outfit reminded me of another character with the same colors used in his costume: Marvel Comics The Vision. Pictured below is the Toy Biz "Famous Covers" 9-inch tall The Vision (more pictures HERE). You can check out the rest of the "Famous Covers" figures in a full line-up in my post HERE.

Hasta mañana i.e. See you tomorrow :)
