Astro Bot

Fresh from his newest adventure in Team Asobi's acclaimed game of the year candidate ASTRO BOT, Astro is now in physical LEGO form! A fan favourite from his previous titles Astro's Playroom and Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, this iconic modern PlayStation figurehead captures the hearts of all who play his games!

Astro's whole design exudes personality. After seeing many Star Wars characters getting scale replica builds it felt like Astro would fit well into that lineup given the same treatment; while his design appears simple, there are so many unique and interesting shapes in it which are a joy to figure out ways to recreate in LEGO. Similar to those aforementioned sets, Astro is built up from a layer of Technic to provide sturdiness to the model while also allowing for a large degree of movement for increased playability.

Due to Astro's top-heavy design and tiny feet he is unable to stand on his own without a dedicated stand, however, he can sit or lay down on his own. Astro's large range of movement means that he can recreate many of his signature poses to further emphasize his personality.

During the previous submission period of this idea I was overwhelmed by the number of instances where I was reached out to by people saying they NEEDED this to become a real set so they could have one for themselves. The adoration and support for it is what has caused me to consider resubmitting the idea since it is clear that there is a large community of people who would love to have the opportunity to build and own a LEGO Astro Bot model. Thank you for all of the support last time around, and hopefully we can get even further this time around with the increased amount of interest caused by the new Astro Bot game!
