Chinese artist and dollmaker Abao has unveiled a new edition of the Raabiiit vinyl toy, which is now offered in a muted vintage color scheme.
Like other variations of the Raabiiit, the Vintage Edition shows the eerie character with two large eyes, which are stacked on top of one another. Four arms sprout from its sides, which match its legs that are turned out to put the character into a sitting position. Although the Raabiiit's eyes are colored a bright hue of green, the rest of the color scheme is rather muted, with its body colored a off-white cream color, with spots of yellow giving it an older appearance.
The Vintage Edition Raabiiit will be available for purchase on Unbox Industries' website starting September 26th, 2020.
