Playful penguin Badtz Maru gets a bold blue makeover from LA-retro artist Amanda Visell in this exclusive Kidrobot x Sanrio collaboration. With more than the usual fire in his belly – it’s Hello Kitty, in fact – this mischievous first-grader is clearly content. Bad Batz is the final figure in the first series of Sanrio characters to be reinterpreted by different artists. Standing 6-inches tall and retailing for $39.95 US (£36.00 UK; 40€ Europe), this flightless fellow is available at Kidrobot stores, Kidrobot.com and select retailers starting January 13.

Thanks KR! You read my mind. I just wish that Hello Kitty wasn't in the middle of it. My friends will make fun of me for that but I'll still get it.
