Legendary toy artist Touma has just revealed that he’s been working on an officially licensed Astro Boy sofubi for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Festival next week! Featuring the iconic android’s signature winged hair and chunky boots, the little guy has been redesigned and sculpted in Touma’s unmistakable style, coming with those elongated arms and smooth curves as standard. Pictured here as a finished clay prototype, we’re told that the final article will be up for grabs at the Tokyo-based event starting Thursday, December 17th… Here’s hoping the official license doesn’t prevent an overseas release soon!
