Shibatayama did also PR for capsule toys of rikishi in Hiyonoyama costumes (5 sekitori types)

The sets in detail http://hobby.dengeki.com/news/630701/

I wonder why those in the bad guy (Akawashi) costume are the Japanese Y/O

Kisenosato

Takayasu

while Hakuho is in that of the hero (Hiyonoyama)

as is Endo

and Chiyomaru in the fitting one of a minor character (Ankoyama)

Shibatayama is the secret one and not shown (I wonder at which probability you get him) - general sales start in October, the article tells that the design may change for that (though they were already available at the basho)

Thanks for following up with more detail! Gives me hope to be able to pick some up next time I’m there.

Why is Kisenosato the only one with a grumpy face? He could be smiling now that he made a successful reentry.

[Naganoyama 5,852]

Those smiles are awful. Look at poor old Takayasu!

That is his default face...I seriously doubt anyone wants a smiling Kisenosato doll...

I'd have thought the same sort of artistic license that doesn't show the bandages and braces would have given Yago a proper oichomage, but no...

The yearbook is available :

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4583112033/ref=pe_492632_159100282_TE_item

I just got myself a copy. Shipping to Germany doubles the price, but EUR 17,51 still isn't so bad for this very useful item.

Apologies in advanced if this is not the correct thread to post in...

I am looking for an authentic (non-reprint) Mitakeumi tegata. I'm running into an issue where the authentic Japanese official sites don't appear to be able to ship to the US. 

I'd prefer something like this. I remember really liking this style with the handprint and picture of the rikishi, but when I visited the Kokugikan in early 2017, it was before Mita reached his current prominence and so they didn't have this version for him. Can anyone speak to the authenticity of this and whether it is a reasonable price?

Any support would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Maybe you could find someone in Japan who would be willing to order it from an official site and ship it to you.  I used to have a link to the official gift shop that carried the same items as the Kokugikan but I can't find it at the moment.  I have a friend in Japan but he is not an exporter.  I might be able to get the link from him.  As far as reasonable price, I don't know.  The price this ebay seller is asking does include Standard Shipping.

I have a friend in Japan who can help you with your request.  I will send you his email address privately.  He would have to order it from the official gift shop, have it shipped to him (he doesn't live in Tokyo), then he would ship it to you.  He charges a 20% commission.  He's honest & reliable & uses Paypal so you can order in confidence.  He pointed out something shocking to me.  He said that the Tegata you are looking at on Ebay is only a PRINT!!!!  It is not an original!  This is an OUTRAGEOUS PRICE for a print!!!  If you read the Ebay seller's description, he says,  "Items for sale are printed matter...... it's an image".  I got confused when I saw the listing because I thought when it said "print", it meant "hand print", as in "original hand print", but NOWHERE in the listing does it say it's an original.

I didn't tell my friend that you wanted an original so when you write to him, be sure to make that clear.

Tremendous thanks @sumojoann! You are a legend and a hero, and I greatly appreciate your taking time out to connect me with your friend :)
