I stumbled on a couple items by chance when I decided to self-appraise a couple items I am in ownership of.

Here is a really neat lunchbox being sold for $100.



And here is a water bottle with a charming print but is "damaged" being sold for about $20.

Kinda want the lunchbox XD

I didn't watch Doraemon as a small child but rather while I was taking Japanese in high school we would watch episodes of the original series (I'm not sure how many versions there are :blush every Friday. Each episode was entirely in Japanese but had grammar, vocabulary or a cultural theme that we had learned throughout the entire week. It was fun and a good way to "wrap up" the week and really helped all of us listen to the language better because we would have to note when a word was said and what it was and so on.

Doraemon reminds me of those days so I get nostalgic for it on occasion!

As for your new showcased items... these look an awful lot like the sorts of things found on etsy and at conventions! I like the expression on Atom's face.

Speaking of Etsy... I found these earrings



They're really cute, subtle and classy and not too expensive (though I think the metal might corrode easily). I also think I may have shown these at some point in the forum years ago. Also not sure if this counts as real merchandise but, hey, they're unique.

Aww, lucky. Wish I was in a class that had us watch anime XD
and those are cute.

Found another on ebay.

That doesn't look so bad right? Just an ordinary Astro Boy fig...

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

Seriously. This is disturbing!

OMG, he looks like he was hit by lightning! Too bad, it would be cool having a 1:1 scale Astro figure!

That 1:1 figure looks like it was a custom. Possibly made from a shell of what was once an actual figure at one time. Kind of neat, I suppose, if still some measure of frightening. Actually, it's really cool when you think about it, especially with all its details.
