MAKE THE SCARY STATUE GO AWAY! O_O;

"Astro Forever" wrote:[QUOTE=Ataru Moroboshi;89364]Sorry, Jeffbert, but the system doesn't allow me to edit it. It seems that after some hours, only the admins and mods are enabled to edit "old" posts. This or I'm even more clumsy than I thought.

Sorry again.

Yes that's true, it won't allow you to edit it (there's a good reason for that though, we've had problems in the past).

For now I've just replaced the IMG tags with URL tags, but if you provide a link to a smaller picture, I'll gladly switch the link back to the picture.

I think usually a 640 pixels width is safe.[/QUOTE]

This way is perfect for me. Thank you, Astro Forever!

And that statue is simply . I want my mom.

I found more of those weird title cards...



...Not sure what these episodes are about, but it may involve knight costumes and being on fire.


It's a punching bag AND an R/C toy!


And finally, mysterious cards supposedly based on the 60's series. I think these are prototype cels made into trading cards...

A radio controlled base with an inflatable Atom on it!

...Wait...

Damn. I'd actually buy that radio-controlled Astro, just for the cool box.

I tried to check out more about this film, Fauna, and here's an important info: We can confirm that these lobby cards are Mexican:

This movie was apparently one of those theatrical versions of successful anime series which simply consist on a summary of a whole TV season. It was a common practice during the 70s and early 80s. In this case, it was "El imperio del Mar" (The Undersea Empire), an anime by Toei Animation which enjoyed a moderate sucess in Mexico (and, on a sidenote, it was quite successful in Cuba as well).

So, by any means, this anime isn't related to Astro, other than the shameless cashing purposes stated above.


About the RC inflatable Astro, an image just passed by my head: This toy moving around while the Bell of Liberty March sounds. And now, for something completely different: a man with two noses.

Gee, it sure is boring 'round here. But don't worry: Atarey 2600 the clown's Circus, is back in town to make you happy with a parade of features coming directly from eBay. A splendid time is guaranteed for all, and tonight I'm topping the bill!

BEHOLD!

THE AMAZING BOOTLEGGED JETTER MARS (well, it is suppposed to be Jetter Mars)



THE ASTOUNDING LEGO-ED URAN!



THE UNCANNY ASTRO MENKO CARDS (Tamao has a weight problem here)



THE AWESOME ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPHED DRAWING BY OSAMU TEZUKA!



AND THE MOST ADORABLE KEYCHAIN EVER!

When seeing the lower-right Astro, I can't help thinking Mao (not that the second to the left has anything to envy him either)

Actually, that's Miritan, Jetter's sister. I remember seeing that figure included with another one of Jetter in a rocket playset.
