About this figure

Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, right arm raised flexing bicep, left hand on hip, pointed spike atop masked head, angry eyes, muscular torso, wrestling trunks, boots. Like every genuine figure in the line, originals carry the “Y/S·N·T” foot stamp — a soft or missing stamp is the quickest way to spot a reproduction.

Kinnikuman (J) is documented in 5 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Purple, Light Blue, Green, Magenta). The flesh version books around $19 in mint condition, while the magenta run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $33. As a Class A rare it anchors many want lists — mint examples move quickly when they surface.
