Reviving a Classic: Mr. Giants Vinyl Figure Launch at SELECTION Stores

Celebrate Mr. Giants with a Limited Edition Vinyl Figure

On February 9, 2024, baseball fans will have the opportunity to purchase a special limited edition vinyl figure of the Yomiuri Giants' original mascot, Mr. Giants, at three SELECTION stores across Japan. Produced in collaboration with Toovirgins, this figure commemorates the 60th anniversary of Mr. Giants, a character that has become an iconic symbol of the Yomiuri Giants baseball team.

A Nostalgic Creation

Mr. Giants was first introduced in 1964, created by the renowned painter Mitsuo Aizawa. The mascot combines features inspired by legendary players like Shigeo Nagashima and Sadaharu Oh, making it a nostalgic piece for fans of all ages. This vinyl figure stands at approximately 25 cm tall and captures the essence of the original mascot with great attention to detail.

One of the remarkable highlights of this limited edition release is the inclusion of a red bat as an accessory. This bat is a nod to the ‘God of Hitting,’ Tetsuharu Kawakami, who was famous for his powerful swings that resulted in countless hits. The red bat can be removed and affixed according to the owner’s preference, allowing for a personalized display. The figure will only be available in a limited quantity of 1,000 pieces, making it a must-have for collectors and fans alike.
