Weird Astro Boy Things On eBay

[Ataru Moroboshi]

I wish manga charachters would appear on western Kinder eggs. It would be a good reason to buy them back after all these years. I still keep my Happy Hippos!

@Toybox - the auction ended a day before you asked, and now I can't find the ending price. ;_;

Here's a pretty music box to cheer everyone up:



A Touchlight!



Two really bad Argentinian wind-up toys. Apparently Astro can swim like a normal human. Anybody recognize the package art from...those abyssmal Argentinian comics?

[AstroBoyGF]

i want that lamp and the music box!!^^ good finds!^

[Dragonrider1227]

That lamp is awesome! ^^
Now, which is worse. The Argentina comics or the Now comics? It's anyone's guess XD

[Fauna]

Actually, I've started to realize that the NOW! Comics were pretty good early in their run, and their version of Speed Racer is much, much worse. (In fact, I picked up the first seven issues for a dollar recently, and they're super, super horrid.)



URAN! NOOOOOO!


This is either the first wave of Fatasstro Boy toys, or just a bad knockoff of the Astro Kewpie.


Here's something I learned at school that totally fits here:
There goes Mister O'Labatt
Fat-fat-fat
With a cowboy hat

[Fauna]

I like to think he's saying "You put that down! That's your fifth one today!"


Kid's chopsticks with Uran and Astro!


How many Astro Guns are in existance...?

I kept the picture size large enough to see all the details; here's a 60's original Astro board game.

You mean... worse than the movie? GASP! XD Actually, I've never seen the movie. I'm just going by the fact that they wrote in a Mach 6


URAN! NOOOOOO!

ROFLMAO
URAN: What? I'm not drinking it. Just selling it. Oil's expensive!

Actually, I think he wears a Fedora

It looks like you move your piece along the board, according to whatever number you get in the pachinko board.


Today's two aren't actually from eBay, but I wish they were. They come from this massive collection page (which has a separate Astro Boy gallery; link is at the bottom of the page).


A little push-back police car, with Tawashi's typical dog design. Someone on TV just said "It's a dog-eat-dog world", which makes everything creepy now.


I never knew they made a Skunk figure. hmy: Ochanomizu has a creepy, cocained " " look to him, and there's the Shunsaku Ban figure I posted before!

They must've gotten him addicted to Yellow Horse again XD
