Weird Astro Boy Things On eBay

I found more stuff!


This one appeared a while ago as "BOXED ASTROBOY TOY", with dozens of pictures of the closed box. Then two days later, the listing disappeared without a single trace.
There's that one guy who worked with Tenma in the first episode, whom sort-of-but-not-quite looks like Tuck/Kalpis, and it looks like poor Skunk's been smashed in the face. OR is simply smashed, if you get what I'm saying.

I've found more of these crazy bootleg cards. They're called "Menko Cards", and these were included with a set of crappy Popeye cards. Yo.

When did Astro fight a bull? (BTW, there's a card based on "The Third Magician")


And a card based on "The Ghost Machine", too. On that second card, I am confused as to why Astro has the two human men underwater. And why Ochanimizzu appears to be in footie pajamas.

Thanks Fauna- Astroboy and Popeye both deserve good detailed work on their merchandise- hugs

I just found an old shot glass...

They call Uran "Urania", and Shibugaki is depicted eating a football off a toothpick.

[jeffbert]

I think that football is a sweet potato.

Thanks Jeffbert, sure hope you are right- hugs you and hi Fauna

I spotted the same motive on a badge offered by eBay.ca.

If you'll do a Google picture search using the keywords 'Astro le petit robot' you will come across plenty of other 'unusual' items.

Please Strange Wings- what does 'Astro le petit robot' mean? thanks and hugs

[Fauna]

Don't mind me for intruding, but it means "Astro the Little Robot", as they called the French dub.

As well, I dearched and found these two French tapes. They've got interesting new art...

This actually seems like a good episode starter...


...and this one makes no sense.

[Strange Wings]

I think neither of those artworks are referring to particular scenes from the 80's series, they rather appear to be created as random VHS tape covers.

...and this one makes no sense.

Yeah, but nevertheless it looks funny! This would give a great caption/picture game contender.
