Yukinori Dehara returns from Japan to Giant Robot 2 for his body slamming Nendo Pro Wrestling World Tour (June 29th – July 24th). Nendo is a brand of poly-clay that Dehara uses in making his dope figures. It was a beautiful evening outside with a magnificent sunset to die for and I got to meet some awesome new friends like Hana and Roger from Supahcute. Dehara is always thinking of crazy themes and characters in sculptures, it’s crazy. His new exclusive Dehara X Hello Kitty figures, along with many cool items were also for sale. Had a great night.
Peace!
