Funny how the title looks like a conversion between nautical miles and leagues for "20000 leagues under the sea" :D I did the maths and it's not very far, even though I had to wrestle with the exact definition of league, which seem to vary from 3200 to 4500 meters (and even more) according to various definitions.
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

With the refernce to Verne's 20,000 Leagues, the boy, the girl, and the big cat, this reminds me of Nadia: Secret of Blue Water :lol:

The auction didn't provide much of an explanation, but this looks like Astro-fied dominoes. I like the picture of confused Daddy Walrus talking to Jump.

Image
I hope this isn't official merchandise...a 1.5" figure of Astro standing amidst someone's cigarette ashes? It would look like Metro City burned down and Astro is standing in the middle of the ruins.

A mini fan that can be hung around your neck. It creeps me out somewhat.

RAMEN.
(Look at the 'Mighty Atom' logo on the back of the bowls...is it cool or what?)

@Dr. Frag: Oh, okay. I didn't recognize the gameboard before.

@Big Astro Fan: Now that I think of it, I remember a few panels where Tezuka's self-insert was smoking...

Kids' cups! Along with Space Ace and Super Jetter.

Image
Apparently a back-fender for a kid's bike. The seller is really confused by this and thinks it's an Astro product, so maybe I should tell him who Jetter Mars is...

Image
More freakin' Astro Shorts!

Tezuka Productions Tea Set: Definitely intended for girls. Comes with Astro utensils, Princess Sapphire bowls, and possibly Kimba cups. Ballerina Uran is pretty nice, too.

From all these Astro Boy undies, I'm surprised no one ever made the shorts he actually wears into underwear. I guess they didn't want to encourage children running around outside in their undies XD

It also looks as it can get freely colorized by the owner, which, as in this case, seems to have slightly misinterpreted the color of Mars' ear-points.
