This spotlights the mascot wearing a bowtie and it stands at 12 inches in height. The [limited edition piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-space-molly) will only have 100 pieces available. Once all of these are sold out, there will not be further reproduction of the piece. The collectible is exclusive and inspired by Harrington's 14 foot sculpture made from aluminum that launched this time last year. MELLO was available for a chance to be purchased online.
