Yamanashi 3,726 Posted May 13, 2018 Rikishi T-shirts, my 2cents: Abi - too muscular, face doesn't look like him, reminds me of a dog preparing to "make his mark" Mitakeumi - good, has the "fish-face" about right Endo - face fair, a cool look (like he's surfing!) Kakuryu - face surprisingly good; has that shambling "salaryman" look that makes him so endearing Hakuho - who?? doesn't look a thing like him Kisenosato - doesn't capture his facial expression Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already have Asashoryu & Kaio/Chiyotairyu/Tochiazuma edition. This feels a bit unfair to bunch up all the current mongolians together, given how much more prolific Hakuho has been should have guaranteed himself an exclusive issue. even just the other 3 have already accumulated 15 yushos, which is more than the previous 2 issues combined.
