Kinnikuman is flexing in the heart of Akihabara this winter. From December 26 to January 5, the Kinnikuman STATION pop-up takes over JR Akihabara Station’s AKIBA LINK with a line of CCPJAPAN exclusives, including glittering Planetman and a trio of metallic green Big Body, Nemesis and Akuma Shogun 3.1 that you can only grab at the station.
Kinnikuman STATION Plants Its Flag Inside JR Akihabara Station
After touring other major hubs, the travelling Kinnikuman STATION event is pulling into a very appropriate stop: JR Akihabara Station, the gateway to Tokyo’s otaku district. Running from Friday, December 26 to Monday, January 5, the pop-up fills the AKIBA LINK space inside the ticket gates on the first floor. The concept is simple but dangerous for your wallet: pack a station concourse with Kinnikuman apparel, figures and goods so that fans can get ambushed by nostalgia and new sculpts on their commute.
For this Akihabara edition, figure maker CCPJAPAN—known for its highly detailed CCP Muscular Collection (CMC) line of Kinnikuman sofubi—will bring a fresh wave of event-limited colors and revived fan favorites, focusing on bold metallic finishes and elaborate paintwork.
Dates, Opening Hours and Entry Rules for the Akiba Link Venue
Here is the key event information for Kinnikuman STATION JR Akihabara Station:
Dates: December 26 (Fri) – January 5 (Mon)
Venue: JR Akihabara Station, 1F inside ticket gates, AKIBA LINK
Standard opening hours: 10:00–21:00
Special hours:
• Year-end / New Year (Dec 31 – Jan 2): 10:00–18:00
• Weekends and final day: 10:00–20:00
A few practical points are worth noting:
• Cashless only: Payment is limited to credit cards, e-money and barcode payments. No cash is accepted, so overseas visitors should be sure to have a compatible card or mobile payment method ready.
• Inside the ticket gates: Because AKIBA LINK is located within the paid-area concourse, you will need a valid train ticket or IC card entry to access the event.
On December 26, the first day of the event, crowd control measures will be in place:
• From 9:00, staff will distribute entry tickets near the venue.
• Between 10:00 and 11:00, entry is restricted to visitors with these tickets.
• Ticket numbers are assigned at random, not in the order you line up.
• Once all ticket holders have entered, the event switches to free entry as space allows.
If you want a serious shot at the most limited figures on day one, plan to arrive early enough to secure a ticket and expect lines.
Planetman Infinite Space Version Glitters with Galactic Detail
The first headliner from CCPJAPAN is a cosmic take on one of the Six Devil Knights:
CMC Creative NO.EX Planetman “Uchu Jigoku: Infinite Space Ver.”
• Price: ¥25,300 (tax included)
• Height: approx. 22 cm (about 27 cm with base attached)
• Materials: PVC (figure), ABS (base)
• Made in Japan
With support from STUDIO24, CCPJAPAN has turned Planetman into a literal pocket universe. His body uses a special multi-color glitter-infused molding that evokes a star-filled void rather than a simple single-tone metallic finish. Muscular areas are painted with layered shadow gradation so that the anatomy still reads clearly under the shimmering surface.
Each planetary part, such as the Saturn-like ring around his waist and the orbs orbiting his body, combines clear and metallic paints. This creates the impression of multiple planets floating in a deep-space diorama, while still fitting the brutal world of Kinnikuman’s superhuman wrestling. If you like designs that lean into both cosmic weirdness and realistic musculature, this Planetman feels like the very definition of an event exclusive you do not want to miss.
Metallic Green Big Body, Nemesis and Demon General Make a Comeback
The rest of CCPJAPAN’s Akihabara line-up leans heavily into a JR-inspired metallic green theme that has become a signature for station events, bringing back some heavy-hitting Chojin in refreshed colors.
CMC Creative NO.EX Big Body 2.0 – Kinnikuman STATION Limited Color
• Price: ¥23,100 (tax included)
• Height: approx. 23 cm
• Material: PVC
• Made in Japan
The often-underloved Kinnikuman Big Body returns in a striking metallic green body, with armor sections picked out in gold and silver. Shadow gradation emphasizes the bulk of his frame, giving the sculpt an almost mecha-like presence. It is a revival piece, but the colorway is exclusive to JR station events, making it a tempting pickup for fans of the Five Fated Princes.
CMC Creative NO.EX Nemesis – Kinnikuman STATION Limited Color
• Price: ¥22,000 (tax included)
• Height: approx. 21 cm
• Material: PVC
• Made in Japan
Nemesis, one of the most popular late-era Chojin, also joins the metallic green squad. His skin tone follows the standard Nemesis coloring, while his armor mixes gold, silver and metallic green with careful balance. Gradation around the edges keeps the figure from looking flat, and the contrast between matte suit areas and reflective armor helps the pose read clearly even at a glance.
CMC Creative NO.EX Akuma Shogun 3.1 – Kinnikuman STATION Limited Color (Revival)
• Price: ¥24,200 (tax included)
• Height: approx. 24 cm
• Material: PVC
• Made in Japan
The notorious Akuma Shogun 3.1 station-limited color—previously sold out at past events—returns for another round. The concept is simple but deadly: a metallic green body inspired by JR’s corporate color, with black shadows and silver armor creating razor-sharp contrast. The massive flowing golden hair, a key feature of the 3.1 sculpt, stands out even more against this palette, and the chest ornament is rendered in translucent red instead of the usual comic-accurate tones.
If you missed this colorway at earlier Kinnikuman STATION stops, this Akihabara run may be your best chance to finally add it to your shelf.
Tips for Queues, Cashless Payments and Hunting Event Exclusives
Because this is a station concourse event during the year-end holiday period, you should be prepared for:
• Peak crowds on December 26–29 and weekends
• Possible purchase limits per person if items start to run low
• Sell-outs depending on your arrival time—stock is limited and popular figures may disappear quickly
The event notes include standard caveats familiar to collectors:
• Display images are of samples, so final products may differ slightly.
• Specifications may change without prior notice due to quality control needs.
• Items might already be sold out when you arrive.
• Purchase quantities may be restricted depending on congestion.
On the practical side, make sure your IC card or train ticket covers access to JR Akihabara’s paid area, and prepare at least one cashless payment method that works in Japan. If you want the safest shot at the rarest colors, aim for day one ticket distribution at 9:00, or visit on a weekday morning later in the period when crowds tend to be lighter.
Following CCPJAPAN Online When You Can’t Reach Akihabara
Not everyone can hop on a Yamanote Line train to Akihabara, especially if you first met Kinnikuman years ago as Ultimate Muscle. Even if you cannot attend in person, it is still worth keeping CCPJAPAN on your radar for future station events, online campaigns and possible reissues inspired by these exclusives.
Official channels include:
• CCPJAPAN official website
• CCPJAPAN online shop
• CCPJAPAN information blog
• CCPJAPAN official X (Twitter) account
• CCPJAPAN official Instagram
Historically, some CMC colors remain truly event-only, while others eventually inspire new versions or related releases. Following these accounts is the best way to catch announcements, future Kinnikuman STATION dates in other cities or any online opportunities connected to the metallic green warriors making their stand in Akihabara.
Metallic Green Warriors Await at JR Akihabara Station
If Kinnikuman has ever lived rent-free in your head—whether as classic manga, anime or a wall of tiny Kinkeshi—this Akihabara stop is a rare chance to grab some of CCPJAPAN’s most dramatic station-limited sculpts. Mark December 26 to January 5 on your calendar, charge your IC card and credit card, and let JR Akihabara’s concourse become your own personal ring entrance.
Whether you are planning a pilgrimage to the station or watching from overseas, keeping an eye on CCPJAPAN’s channels now will make it easier to catch the next wave of Kinnikuman STATION events and exclusives before they vanish into collectors’ shelves.
