SpiceSeed announced a huge high-end statue today. It recreates Kinnikuman’s signature tag-team finisher, the Muscle Docking. This announcement turns a wrestling spectacle into a museum piece for fans of the series. The resin sculpture is officially called the “Kinnikuman Series ‘Muscle Docking’” figure. It shows Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Great doing the Muscle Buster/Kinniku Driver combo simultaneously. Ashuraman and Sunshine are the targets in this dynamic display. The pose captures the mid-air docking moment that made the move legendary in the manga.

The Kinnikuman series is by Yudetamago and started back in 1979. The piece measures 46.5 cm tall and it is 40 cm wide with a depth of 36.5 cm. It sits on a wrestling ring diorama base. This base allows 360-degree viewing of the dynamic composition which is important for such a complex statue.

Prototype sculptor Yoshiki Ito handled the complex sculpting work. He applied anatomical realism and physical calculations to the figures. The gravity-defying docking maneuver reads as believable and dramatic in three dimensions which was the goal. SpiceSeed emphasizes heavy-weight aesthetics for their pieces. Resin casting gives pronounced muscle definition and this gives a tactile presence that PVC figures usually lack in the market.

The statue costs 327,800 yen. That is about $2,185 USD at the time of reporting. This price puts it as a centerpiece purchase for serious Kinnikuman collectors looking for high quality items. The release shows renewed interest in Kinnikuman’s legacy. It started as a parody that became a wrestling epic and it spurred the 1980s Kinkeshi craze. It highlights how modern manufacturers translate classic shonen moments into collectible art. Preorders and availability details were published with the announcement and coverage noted SpiceSeed’s focus on fan-driven anatomically precise statues that honor the source material’s energy and nostalgia.
