I do apologize this is a bit of a purge...
I have been working on King Liger here for about over a year and have him ready to be made into a Sofubi action figure! But I wanted to give you a brief rundown of everything you need to know, and AGAIN, so sorry this pretty much purges many posts that should have already been made. I just wasn't sure how this would take since he's not a mini-figure. However, he is influenced by the Kinnikuman series. 
First off, here is the link the kickstarter: https://www.kickstar...e-action-figure
King Liger! A masked wrestler hailing from the Gujarat State of India. Hood of King liger has been passed down for generations and every warrior who wore it specialized in a different style of fighting. This is the newest incarnation of his families' lineage and specializes in a Pro Wrestling style.

SO as you can see, I have gotten to lion's share of prepping for this project to go to Japan. Once I am funded for this project, Luke Rook and Amy Osowski of Grody Shogun toys and Lulubell Toy Bodega will be assisting in the over-seeing of the the process in Japan and distribution. So he's in good hands. So again, here is a link to the Kickstarter: https://www.kickstar...e-action-figure. Let me know what you think and please support it. Thank you.

Thanks! Hopefully it will get funded so we can all see the final results. Here's to hoping

There's a facebook group called Vinyl Kaiju Legion. They're all about Sofubi vinyl. If you haven't already, I suggest sharing it there!

Those folks have some deep pockets and your figure is priced cheaply in comparison to some of the stuff I've seen posted.

Good luck!

Thanks. Actually, I had been showing progress of it on that very page. Unfortunately, one of the rules is no kickstarters  . HOWEVER, James C Osborne, the Moderator of that page is doing some of the art for the rewards.
