Name: The Messenger - kaNO Edition
Artist: Munky King & kaNO
Manufacturer: Munky King
Features: Made of resin. This figure - a 5 Points Festival 2018 exclusive - is in honor of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who stirred controversy by kneeling during the National Anthem before games. A portion of the proceeds were donated to Know Your Rights Camp, Kaepernick's free youth campaign.

"As a Niners fan, it was inspiring to see Kaepernick take Muhammad Ali's journey from athlete to activist. Being Asian American, I have a certain amount of privilege when it comes to the police. But my wife is African American and we have 2 kids, so his message is personal. And it became more so in February of 2017, when my nephew ended up like other Black men after a traffic stop by police...unjustifiably dead. And like them, he was branded a thug in police reports and the media, not the loving father, brother, and son that we so miss. So I reached out to our longtime friend and artist, kaNO, to help design a figure around the now iconic image of Kap taking a knee. A reminder of his historic protest against police brutality. No matter your feelings about Kaepernick, we cannot ignore the message behind his protest...Black Lives Matter."
-Patrick Lam, President of Munky King
