Best Licensed Toy
For the Wonder Woman licensed figure, Kidrobot teamed up once again with New York City based artist, Tara McPherson in conjunction with DC Comics. Standing 10" tall, Tara McPherson has reimagined the unconquerable female warrior. Holding her signature lasso of truth, this collectible art piece brings a unique take to comic and art lovers alike.

"My actual favorite superhero is Wonder Woman… always has been," says McPherson. "I even have her golden lasso of truth tattooed around my wrists. Getting to create my version of Wonder Woman with Kidrobot was seriously a dream come true!"

Best Mini Series
Arcane Divination is a Kidrobot multi-artist Dunny series curated by Los Angeles based artist J*RYU. The series features a collection of designs based on tarot cards with Dunny designs by J*RYU, Tokyo Jesus, Godmachine, Camilla D'Errico and Jon Paul Kaiser.

"I am so honored to be recognized alongside Kidrobot for the hard work that went into the creation of the Arcane Divination series," says Yu. "It was truly a team effort. Everyone worked so hard to ensure that the artistic vision was kept intact and I thank Kidrobot for giving me this incredible opportunity."
