Lego-compatible Astroboy minifigures from Korea

[DrFrag]

I stumbled on this today. Astroboy minifigures that come as a toy from a South Korean burger joint called Lotteria.

I love to buy them but I have no idea where to get them. Maybe on some Korean eBay equivalent? I tried Gmarket without any luck. If anyone wants to try, Lotteria = 롤데러아, Atom = 아톰, Lego = 레고.

Here's another Korean youtube video with the same toys

And a video with different, larger ones.

It's Tezuka's 70th birthday this year, so we might be seeing a lot more of these things being released. (Probably a LOT more in 5 years for his 'diamond' birthday).

I would love to buy a set. Anyone have some for sale or know where to find them?

Found some. A company called Kopf makes them. Kopf make a range of knockoff and original minifig designs compatible with Lego. The Astroboy ones are shown here: https://downtheblocks.blogspot.com/2019 ... eview.html

I bought a set through an Aliexpress store called CHEERING Minifigures Store but they don't appear to list them anymore. Maybe they got pulled for being unlicenced? If you're desperate you could contact them and ask if they have any remaining stock. Honestly the quality was kinda janky though. They don't come with arms attached, and one of mine had two left arms.

I found another store here that seems to sell them: https://www.minifiguresmall.com/single- ... 43385.html I haven't shopped there before so I don't know what they're like.

That's so cute! If I'd still had my LEGO collection, I totally would try to get my hands on a few of those.
