SDCC 2015: Introducing Baby Huey from Kidrobot

Posted on June 8, 2015 by Brett

Kidrobot is excited to announce Baby Huey, a dynamic new vinyl figure by Frank Kozik.

It’s all about that fade baby! Pretty hard to step into your Dad’s shoes, even if you have teeny tiny little feet, but a real playa has to try. Relish the opportunity to posses a little whiny evil dictator all your own, either in Playful Pyong Yank Pink or Supervillain Blue!

Artist Frank Kozik said in a release:

No production of high ideological and artistic value can evolve out of a creative group whose members are not united ideologically and in which discipline and order have not been established. It is necessary to collect both color ways in the correct socialist lifestyle manner in order to follow the path of Juche Thought.

Retailing for $65 and available in two color-ways, Pink and Blue, the 8” Baby Huey will make a limited debut this year at Kidrobot’s San Diego Comic Con booth, July 8th-12th. Baby Huey will be available in stores and online starting August 6^th.
