Artist D-Lux's Rikishi Kickstarter Project

Artist Dan D-Lux Orosco needs your help on Kickstarter! He needs our help to fund his Rikishi (Sumo Wrestler) figure. The figure is going to be pretty big at 8-9" tall, 4-5" wide and have 5 points of articulation. This figure will be sculpted, molded and produced in Japan.

We have seen the many customs that D-Lux has done over the years. I can personally say that I own a couple of his customs too. From just looking at the sketch shown in the video, it looks pretty good. Can't wait until he posts more pictures which I hope is soon.

Check out Dan's (D-Lux) Kickstarter page to view more info about his project as well updates and of course checking out what you will receive for pledging.
