Itokin Park’s new Space Mode Man sofubi (3.5”) is an homage to one of his favorite movies, 2001: A Space Odyssey. As you can see, the helmet and other gear including the pack are modeled after the film. While he isn’t ready to release a production edition yet, he’s created two groups of colorfully awesome customs of the new figure.
Each custom is hand-painted by Itokin Park and features plastic jewels on the instrument panel and the ray gun as well as his tiny stickers throughout for added deco. The first group (featuring stripes) will be available at the Switcheroo Art Pop-Up on Sunday (10.6) in Highland Park for $60 each. The second group with stars (not shown) will be available at the TAG six-person show on 10.19. And in case you are confused, Space Mode Man is Itokin’s second astronaut figure. The other one, ‘Astronaut’, is part of a three figure collabo series with Amanda Visell and Michelle Valigura. The first teal edition of Astronaut will also be available at the Pop-Up on Sunday (25 pcs, $30).
