Hmmm the packaging DOES have the KidsWB Astro logo. But the toy is a Japanese /Chinese one. I saw it in Sydney with the Atlas figure a little while ago for like $50 or something so high i wouldnt buy it >_< but the other day i got 3 Atom toys (hard plastic moveable arms) one tall two short (chibi) for $14 all together. And they are really good looking and decently cheap for China toy imports

Taking a Japenese toy and putting it in an american box isn't unheard of. Dragonball Z used to do it. So does Pokemon.

It appears to have a transparent left hand where the right hand should be. 
It might be removable, but it does not speak highly of qualty.

Must be a knock-off. That was pretty fast if it was.

I think it is merely the language of the country in which it is sold.

What country that speaks english would call him Cosmic Boy?

Note the really poor grammar. If you had visited the Engrish.com site, you would have seen similar grammar in foreign languages. But on the other hand, it might indeed be a knock-off, if by that you mean unliscensed product. I notice the seller is in HK, and as it does not participare in international copyright laws, it probably is a knock-off. But if so, why not just use the correct name?
