A Slice of Niku Heaven at SDCC

SDCC & Kinnikuman
MMA legend Josh Barnett was at the SDCC Gargamel x Grass Hut booth on Saturday meeting fans and signing autographs!

Josh signing my AACC x Kinnikuman x Art Junkie shirt! 

There are so many Kinnikuman and personal connections here is it crazy!  A few of the reasons why this was hands down my most memorable experience at the Con this year:
  • Josh is one of the most skilled and toughest dudes on the planet.  I am a huge fan.
  • He is a fan of Kinnikuman, and Yudetamago are big fans of his MMA and Pro Wrestling careers.
  • Josh personally knows both members of Yudetamago. 
  • Both Yudetamago and Josh have done collaborations with Art Junkie.
  • Art Junkie makes rad Kinnikuman shirts, and Kato-san is part of the Niku family. 
  • I just so happened to have an AACC x Art Junkie shirt (Josh is linked to both). 
  • Josh was so incredibly nice and cool the whole time we chatted ~ A true class act!
  • This all went down at the Gargamel x Grass Hut booth (amazing guys and friends)!
Josh mentioned that he has a one of a kind, full color, signed piece of Buffaloman art... how cool is that?  He also talked about Shimada-sensei's connection to the MMA world, and his history with Megumi Fuji and Art Junkie.  Wow, what an awesome day!

      Rampage Toysさんが、
      ピンクのキン肉マンソフ日をナマニクブログをイメージしてオリジナルにペイントしてくれました。

      Major thanks to Rampage for taking on this project for me.  Jon is a true Yudekkii, and I am a fan of his work as well.  Kinnikuman looks awesome, and I cannot wait to see him in person.  Rampage is crazy talented, and I look forward to doing future collaborations with him.
