Russian artist Nikanor teamed up with porcelain specialists, What The Shape, on a limited edition figure inspired by A$AP Rocky. Titled FLACKO TESTING MODEL, the collectible figure portrays the rapper as a crash test dummy with black and yellow warning decals embellished throughout. The figure was initially inspired by Rocky’s “A$AP FOREVER” music video featuring Moby alongside the custom jumpsuit created by Australian artist Pauly Bonomelli, famously known as @himumimdead.
