Original Fake will be releasing the KAWS Astro Boy Figure on October 27th. The classic cartoon character gets re-imagined in Brooklyn artist KAWS’ typical style, which means Mickey Mouse gloves and ‘X’ eyes. The result is a great designer toy for collectors of Astro Boy merchandise or collectors of designer toys at large. The toy is made from vinyl and stands with a disappointed look on his face. Even so, those who buy this figure will have a smile on their faces.
Along with the KAWS Astro Boy Figure, a set of KAWS Astro Boy t-shirts will be released. These t-shirts come in neutral shades and feature a graphic cartoon version of Astro Boy by KAWS.
