Los Luchadores Mexicanos

Hand-painted figurine by Kemelyen

Made in Mexico, from recycled injected plastic, this is a reproduction of the original wooden sculpture created by artist Mario González Márquez circa 1950. His son, Fernando González, uses the original mold to keep the artist’s legacy alive.

Since the 1950s, the affordability of these “toys” and the popularity of Mexican wrestler films, featuring kitschy real-life superheroes, have made these figures one of the most important icons of world popular culture.

Was an iconic Mexican Luchador (professional wrestler) debuting in 1950, Rayo de Jalisco had various names, starting with Míster Misterio and later appearing under the name Águila Negra (Black Eagle). Also in 1960, he appeared under the name El Rayo, and in 1962, he finally introduced himself as Rayo de Jalisco, wearing his trademark black mask with a lightning bolt on his face.

A movie star in films alongside other famous masked wrestlers, Rayo de Jalisco fought Blue Demon, who came out of retirement to face El Rayo de Jalisco in a mask-vs-mask match, in which he was defeated, revealing his identity as Maximino “Max” Linares Moreno. In 1996, he was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame.
