Marka27′s Killa Instinct
Marka27′s new Killa Instinct figure will be released soon by BIC Industries.

Of the figure he says, ‘Killa Instinct is set to destroy anyone or anything that gets in his way of desire for domination through the means of getting up, with his Killa Styles, burners, tags, throwups, by any means necessary’.
