His own appearance not withstanding, Kinnikuman faces some odd-looking opponents in the ring. One of them is "The Mountain," a guy who looks like a literal mountain wearing a gi. He hails from Mt. Everest and measures 285 cm high (9'4").
Company SpiceSeed is releasing a garage kit of the daunting fighter from the 7 Devil Chōjin Arc and while the figure is scaled down, it's still approximately the same size as a 5kg (11lbs) bag of rice. The Mountain figure measures 32cm (12.6in) high and weighs 4kg (8.8lbs).
SpiceSeed also kneaded sand particles into the resin to give The Mountain a naturally rough exterior.
Reservations open on March 10 for 66,744 yen (US$588). The figure is already sold out according to the product page.
The Mountain is SpiceSeed's fourth Kinnikuman figure. The company previously released Akuma Shogun, Buffalo Man, and Spring Man.
