This one is quite nice, but I'm puzzled by the fact that it is the 80s Astro, who has no visible heart if I remember correctly :unsure: Or maybe it is a colored version of the 60s Astro?[/QUOTE]
I think these might be from the 80s, as Uran seems to be in her red dress:

But the image is so dark, it is difficult to tell. :p However, with the 80s Atlas, it seems clearly 80s. :d evil:

Naw, Uran's got this kind of dress:

Even looking at the toys (I'd say they were made in the 1990s), it's hard to tell what series they're all from. Everybody looks 60's style - like on the Tezuka-themed iGoogle banners - and then Yujin realized they needed a fourth character, so they just pulled out Atlas from the 1982 continuum.


On a new subject...I've been looking for information on the Astro Boy Kubrick series, and I wish I knew all the characters available.

Ok, I copied the image and brightened it; & it is indeed a pink dress. I would say that other than Atlas, the head to height ratio is more like the 60s than the 80s. :lol:

:wub: Aww, that's a cute plushy! It looks really soft to me. Can you tell me how tall it is?
:( It's a pity they don't make Astroboy plushies in life size. And with eyelids you can open and close. And with chestdoors you can open and close... and with microphones within their ears, speakers in their mouths, night lights within their eyes, ..and...and... (keep on dreaming, SW! :cry: )[/QUOTE]

I remember seeing huge life size Astro's sitting in the Target windows in Rundle Mall, but that was about 3 years ago now. I went to see if I could get one, but they were gone... :( When I went to the Osamu Tezuka exhibt there were life size ones, which looked a bit like Dragonriders plushie, but they were $80. There was girl at the exhbit with an Astro plush which I'd never seen before, but damn it was cute :D

:w00t: OMG, I so wish I'd own one of these. The biggest plush I've ever been able to come by was the one made by Tezuka Productions a few years ago, having about 17" of striking tallness.
Perhaps some day we'll be lucky and life-size Astro plushies can be sent via airmail low priced enough so they don't have to charge us the cost of a seat for him in the economical class. :D

I think that was the one that was $80. I wanted one so bad, but if I got it I wouldn't have had any money left to get the other things I wanted 2 get, so I just got a mini Astro plush which looks similar to Dragonriders :D

Some of you might be interested in my latest aquisition...

...Have any of you ever heard of Kubrick toys?
So far, I've got a little figure of every character I've wanted, and that means no more eBay hunts. :lol:

Are these basically LEGO compatible figures?
