AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale is one of the most iconic, rare, and coveted pieces of contemporary Urban Art: the KAWS Astro Boy (Grey Edition) from 2012.
Born from the official collaboration between KAWS (Brian Donnelly), Tezuka Productions, and Medicom Toy, this sculpture reinterprets the legendary Osamu Tezuka character (Mighty Atom / Astro Boy), incorporating the artist's distinctive stylistic cues: the distinctive X eyes, customized gloves, and skeletal structures on the sides of the head.
The Grey (Monochrome) version is considered among collectors to be the most elegant and sought-after variant of the entire series, capable of highlighting the sculpture’s three-dimensionality.
Conditions and Authenticity Guarantee:
Condition: The figure is in excellent/like-new condition. The paint and vinyl finishes are meticulously preserved, free of discoloration or significant defects.
Packaging: Complete with its original box in good condition and the inner protective blister.
Authenticity Guaranteed: To ensure maximum transparency, the work has undergone independent appraisal and has been verified via the specialized LegitApp platform, with a digital certificate downloadable via QR Code or traceable with the Case ID: #3258321980629189 (result: AUTHENTIC).
Under the sole of the feet are the official copyright inscriptions of the publisher.
Secure Shipping: The item will be shipped with reinforced packaging in a double-box setup to preserve the integrity of the original box.
Please note that the work commands a very high global demand: on the international secondary market, on the main platforms dedicated to contemporary art, and on specialized resell platforms like StockX, prices and completed sales for this specific piece (Grey Edition 2012) in equivalent condition and with original packaging consistently range from €4,000 and up, making it not only a collectible but a solid investment.
Happy bidding to all.
