Here's an Astro Boy medical thermometer. It came out in 1996 and was released during the 75th anniversary of the Terumo Corporation.

An Astro Boy "face pack" is being released today in Japan. They're kind of like [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial]face masks[/url], only a little different. Here's an explanation of what they are:

That's a little off-putting, honestly. :T Not to mention the fact that it apparently puts some kind of cold crap on my face (and I'm kind of wary about anything that isn't face wash going on my face).

Well, it's, uh, weird... but, I think it's still probably better than KAWS... (It kinda looks like a child's drawing made 3D. Not sure why that look is popular nowadays; id kind of puts me off.)
