Kaiju Big Battel, the bastion of giant monster wrestling, has always had a place in my heart. I think it was nearly fifteen years ago, since the first time I was pleasantly perplexed at the TV or computer screen. It was Godzilla meets WWE, but it's gone a far beyond that now. Today we look at one of their newer endeavors - Kaikeshi mini-figures!
Moving into Kinkeshi-inspired mini-figures is a play no one was surprised and everyone wanted. There really couldn't have been a more natural fit. Kaiju Big Battel had already incorporated so much Japanese culture into their wrestling shows, it sort of felt like it was only a matter of time. After a successful Kickstarter last year, it had finally became a reality, and earlier this month a grabbed a view blind-boxes to see how everything turned out.
Upon removing them from their fast food apple pie box, I was immediately impressed. Absolutely on-point, in almost every way. Sculpted by George Gaspar, of former October Toys and now Double G Toys, the wrestling crew were handled and formed with mind-blowing accuracy and detail. George kills it here, blasting the leather right off the ball, before bouncing it over the home-run fence. My only regret is that I decided to dip my feet in first with just a few twists of the gachapon machine. I should have gone deeper, as I even found a glow-in-the-dark chase in the lot. And at five clams a pair, that's a hell of a deal.
I was about to hand my debit card over to the good people at Kaiju Big Battel, but then I found through Instagram that Double G Toys has the complete set for sale in an exclusive purple. I weep for my bank account. Follow both links below, if you're looking for a purple set, a flesh set, or even dastardly, both.
