Following the popularity of comic book characters in movies and animations like Pixar's Baymax, kids want to see themselves as superheroes now more than ever—as such, 441LABO is helping them out with its Newborn Hero BABYTECTOR baby suit figurine.
The sculptural toy was created by artist Shoichi Mukai, who was inspired to create this suit in response to issues like child abuse and other problems that kids need protection from. The suit was modeled after Mukai's own young son and includes kid-like detailing, such as pacifiers and diapers.
The body parts can be completely customized to a child or parent's liking, making it possible to personalize the child toy with fun colors and patterns. Although these suits can't actually be worn by kids, the figurines are ideal additions to a nursery or a bedroom, inspiring kids to find the superhero within themselves.
