Kaiju Big Battel Kickstarts Kaikeshi!

I've been a huge fan of Kaiju Big Battel.  I remember years and years ago, back when I still lived with my parents, I would visit their forum and website almost daily to keep up to date with story lines and events.  At one point, I had almost won the dismembered arm of Mota Naru through an essay contest.  I was disqualified due to the exceedingly long length, a result that surprised no one.  Since then, I've dropped back in here and there, always surprised to see where and when it pops back up, whether it was the Xbox 360 Hanger Event or the Twitch Takeover last year, and now it's rearing close to it's 25th Anniversary.  It seems almost unreal.

To celebrate this monumental achievement, Kaiju Big Battel is creating MUSCLE/Kinkeshi inspired keshi mini-figures of their own absurd wrestlers.  It's named Kaikeshi, and it couldn't have been a more no-brainer for the brand to do.  The Kaiju Big Battel already heavily borrows from popular Japanese culture, from anime to video games to, of course, giant monster battles.  Taking it to one, if not the largest, if not the only, pro wrestling anime franchises in Japan is the most logical stomp for Kaiju Big Battel's marketing, one that first realized 15 years ago.

With the help of Onell, Kaiju Big Battel now has the hook-up for production.  It's just a matter of ponying up the clams to get the machines steaming and grinding.  That's where Kickstarter and our support comes in.

Currently at the time of this article, there is still time to make this a reality.  20 days are left, and if you're one to claim you're a Kaiju Big Battel enthusiast, now is a good time to get some one-of-a-kind items, as well as Kickstarter exclusives.  But equally interesting, I feel, is that everyone with the slightest interest can support this project and still leave with product.  As low as two bucks, you can get a random mini-figure cranked out the giant mechanical vending machine and shot into your mailbox.  You don't see that on Kickstarter.  It's usually thank you's until you're committed to buy the whole set.  For those who like Kaiju Big Battel, but maybe not the idea of eleven figures bopping around their desk, this is their alternative.  Cheapskates!  Collectors!  Completionists!  Hobo with a couple spare wrinkled dollars!  Literally anyone with a mailbox can find their own level of support!  Currently, it's two-thirds of the way to their 15k goal, but every dollar or pair of, counts, so follow the link below and bring some monster mayhem into your home.
