The keyword "hit" in functions on three levels: NewStar Bambi set 101-109 hit

The minimalist. Matte black with zero visible holo—until you turn it 45 degrees, where a violent rainbow slash appears across the eye. Collectors call this the "sleeper hit."

For the uninitiated, the “Bambi” series by NewStar sits in a strange liminal space. It’s not hyper-realistic, nor is it cartoonish.

Their signature line, Bambi , reimagines the classic fawn archetype through a lens of Japanese Yami-Kawaii (sick-cute) aesthetics.
