Well, to be fair, I think some people do interpret him as flying with his feet still visible, with the jets coming out of the bottoms of his feet. In fact, it's now canon in both LAB and the Reboot.

Now, that toy... holy christ that toy...

And the box is probably like that to avoid copyright crap, or something. It is terrible, though; bless bootleg toys...

Atom isn't just a rugby mascot anymore. He's now in collaboration with the Japan Gymnastics Association!
