CANEK - The Mayan Prince has one of the
most intricate hoods in all of lucha, thus his Bag Figures
usually leave a lot to be desired.
|
This figure of El Maestro SOLAR is somewhat
worse.
|
Simpler designs like the classic hoods of
LOS DINAMITAS fare better.
|
LIZMARK – Sometimes figures warp in
the molding process or in bags baking in the Mexico City sun,
giving them some accidental expressive posing.

LOS VILLANOS - note the strange nipples,
which are a recent re-detailing of a plugged-up old knock-off
mold.
|
Once in a while they get the colors
dead-on, though, as in this pink and purple VILLANO ring gear
|
FISHMAN – note how far gone the mask
details are in the sculpture here.
|
The fingers are often clogged up or the
‘flashing’ from the poor molding left un-trimmed,
thus the hands get bigger and bigger as they get re-molded.

This seems to be KONAN in his hooded days.
Nice pink tights with black polka dots ‘El
Barbaro’! Not how the figure was cut off it’s
molding ‘tree’ at the head with little regard for
preserving detail.
|
LOVE MACHINE Art Barr is his hooded days,
too.
|
This OCTAGON is about as crappy a head
sculpt and paintjob you’ll find.
|
But nothing compares to this attempt at
PERRO AGUAYO! The fur is great, the hair is great, but
what’s with the... orange
face???

Possibly EL GLADIADOR, but could also been
any of the myriad DOCTOR characters practicing in the ring. Or
for that matter, a Mr. Wrestling II on a south-of-the-border
jaunt?
|
EL TALISMAN? These hands are downright
catcher’s mits...
|
A still-masked SHOCKER.
|
EL OLIMPICO.

EL MISTERIOSO
|
Split view illustrating the word-graphic
mask of... I’m guessing... MR. MEXICO?
|
BOMBA INFERNAL?
|
PENTAGON.

CIBERNETICO’s complex mask never
fared well, either.
|
Continuing a theme of
“one-eyed” masks, here’s a nice REY BUCANERO.
Man that was a sweet hood!
|
Here’s REY in yellow...
|
...and another in white.. or is this an old
PIRATA MORGAN???

Cat-themed luchadores are common in Mexico.
Here’s a whole series, most of whom I don’t
recognize.
|
Tiger? Puma? Jaguar?
|
Leopard? Ocelot? Alley cat?
|
And is this the same guy as at left, or his
tag partner, or his junior?

Could be a cat, could be a fox of some sort
I suppose...
|
Japan’s legendary multi-media,
multi-generational TIGER MASK property shows up in Mexican toys
once in a while, too.
|
Based on the tights, this is probably Tiger
Mask I or II.
