Our Take: This is a big year for Astro Bot and its fans

Astro Bot is rising

This is a great year for Astrobot and its fans and winning Game of the Year is a big deal, regardless of the game. ONE Reddit post shows that people generally like the Astrobot Funko Pop! mainly because they like the game, which isn't hard to believe since it's Game of the Year.

The theory is that Astrobot it looks silvery in its pop because like Tippydaug puts: “GOTY trophies are silver, I think they just wanted it to be a small trophy.” While it doesn't match the character's usual colors or other outfits seen in the game, I think imitating the GOTY trophy is a smart decision and adds to the overall rarity. If the theory is true, this would be a figure specifically for the GOTY victory, not just for the game itself.
