Nono. I think the Lucha Bear is still Made in Japan. I meant to say that it's a release to celebrate Kuso Vinyl's anniversary. I might be wrong. If so, someone please correct me.
This is IP's first toy under his own name and not through One-Up. Although this one might be for Kuso it's still IP's release.
Fix'd. Long time ago, Itokin Park used to make these TEENSY-WEENSY clay figures of people, robots, things, & stuff. There are rakes of them. They came in like customized matchboxes packed with cotton-wool. Also, Kuso is Japanese for "Shit!". (Just information ... )
I love the himilans but don't really care for these lucha's so much... they kinda look like mickey & minnie gave birth to a mexican gloomy bear or something...
To lay the Chinese vinyl question to rest: These are stamped 'Itokin Park' & 'made in Japan' on one of the feet. (And the Kuso release was $65.)
