Lucha Libre

 
Playmates Toys presents its First Series of Lucha Libre Masked Warriors wrestling figures clocking in at 30-points of articulation! You heard me right-30-points! Hard to believe that Playmates could pack so much movement into 6-inch action figures but they do. Add in the excellent sculpting, hidden articulation points, clean and crisp paint application, cool accessories and clever bubble pack design and you wind up with some of the best wrestling figures ever produced.


The Marco Corleone figure captures the spiked hair, muscle bound wrestler in all his powerful glory. Marco stands with his right arm raised and fist clenched outfitted in his red leotards and black boots.

Each wrist is covered in a red wrist band; tattoos decorated his left wrist that matche the similar patterns on his tights. Included with the figure are two dumbbells that can be held in the figure’s left hand. The figure easily poses in numerous positions without the aid of any kind of stand. It truly is an ‘action’ figure.

The attractive bubble pack (as with all the wrestlers display packs) shows a full color head shot photo of the wrestler set against and embossed wrestling ring rope. The Lucha Libre logo display prominently on the top of the pack while the background image is a bright series of bands that really showcases the figure.

The Tinieblas Jr. figure is equally muscular and highly articulated. The figure is clad in black leotards, a black muscle shirt, gold boots, gold and black gauntlets and a gold and black full face mask hiding his features. Included with the figure is a working miniature folding black chair.


Six figures come in the First Series-collect them all!
