Shelby Lee Walsh — July 6, 2009 — Life-Stages
A-Trak is a renowned DJ who has blown the music scene away with his beats and is now playfully delighting fans with the release of a toy for Kid Robot.
The polar bear figure has more 'tude than even the coolest dudes. He has sweet shades, a fish hanging out of his back pocket, and a curious little square resting on his tongue. Acid perhaps? Just saying…
The Grateful Bear toy also comes with a kickass techni-color igloo. A-Track’s creation was helped by a collaborative effort with graphic designer Dust La Rock.
Bet you’ve never seen a polar bear with this much swagger.
