Astro Boy Goes Pop Art

PiggyBanx x Tezuka Collab Is the Drop We Needed

Listen, I’ve spent the last decade dodging Funko Pops like they were bullets in Ikaruga. But this one?

This is different.

The PiggyBanx x Astro Boy capsule hits the exact nerve between high-end resin culture and post-retro hypewear.

PiggyBanx, the same art toy crew that’s been remixing capitalism one Spacepig at a time, just dropped a limited-run collab with the estate of Osamu Tezuka, the god of manga himself. Hyperlific lives beyond oceans and borders, but our home is Orange County and we love when a fellow group of OC creatives brings the fire to the collectibles crowd. And this piece?

It’s pure love letter: Astro suited up like he’s about to do a collab with Kid Cudi and fly through Blade Runner Tokyo. The chrome print job is deep enough to fall into.

You’ll find it in their limited release club until it’s gone— and once it is… best of luck.

It’s not just merch—it’s lore you can shelf. This is the kind of object you hand to your kids and say: “This is who we were before AI took all the soul out of Saturday mornings.”
