Korean streetwear imprint AMBUSH designs a new Astro Boy figure made in collaboration with BAIT. This marks the second time that AMBUSH is creating an Astro Boy art piece and it really captures all the loving characteristics of the robot boy.
The special edition design is imagined by creative director Yoon Ahm as she washes the figure's entire silhouette in a chrome finish. Notably, the robot boy is standing in his signature stance with one hand on his hip and one in the air. There is an infusion of color at the deep red heart and the bright electric blue mechanical coils that sit at the chest in an open-box circuitry look. Rounding out the figure is the tonal chrome AMBUSH belt.
