The physique of the frog is not unlike that of a Sumo. Now imagine two wrestling frogs, in tiny loin cloths. Not only is the resulting shape perfect for an HK box figurine, but the humour is instantaneous. Sumo wrestlers throw salt in the ring to purify it; hence the salt and pepper pots. "Mawashi" is the name of the belt they wear. "Dumptruck" was a Hawaiian born sumo wrestler, Konishiki Yasokiichi, famous for his huge size and success in the early 1990's.
