Yo! The main man is here!

I can't show up to NYCC without the OG Pizza Rat! (He came with me back in 2021, you know.)

Rizzo the Rat is ready to bring some street-smart attitude to your collection.

Premiering THIS WEEKEND at NYCC! 🧀

Also, Wicket is here 🐾. His frame broke during transport but you can still take him home frameless.
