Every three months, one finds a large bunch o' new images to show. These are tha new and weirder ones:

Image

Nappa loved Astro, but Vegeta hated him. All Dragon Ball fans know the rest (and I have been a hardcore Dragon Ball fan since 1991).

Image

"Astro" vs "Freezer" :shifty:
Image

Kawaii Astro-chan from the feiry land of Microsoft Paint

Image

Another dose of cutesy.

Image

:santa:

Image

:santa: (I just cannot help it :w00t: )

Image

Actually, this is not crazy, but I have a pillow like this in my house. I bought it just a month ago (1st of november) in a manga convention for 22 € (about 30 $).

Image

Put a 50 ft. Astro in your inflatable stand! (If it gets windy, we're not responsable).

Image

WHAT THE... Let me take a bite!

Image

:confused:

Maybe in order to avoid confusions, Astro decided to take a trip to the real world, and he was greeted by some authorities:

Image

In spite of being a cyborg, Astro conserves the ancient spirit of tradicional Japan.

Image

A meal in Saitama: Ramen! Or maybe udon? WTH: Noodles.

Image

Supporting ecology on urban enviroments

Image

No comment :whistling:

And to end all this...

Image

:wub: That's what I call a nice cosplay.

And that was it... For now :d evil:

It's very strange, my friend bought me that same Astro pillow when she went to Japan a few years ago. And a Black Jack shower scrub!!! :w00t: :blush:

I'd love to keep Astro in my pocket! :p "Whenever you need it" or something, as one credit card company said? Of course! :D

Those Japs are really the emperors of merchandising. And the best of all is that almost everything they do is cool as hell (I love to match opposite concepts :p ). For instance, while looking for these pics I saw a photograph of what looks like an Astro wine bottle opener (however, for a bottle of wine, the best charachter is Unico! Bad joke, bad joke, I know)

Precisely now I am looking for some Dragon Ball, One Piece or Inuyasha goodies
for my bro, and man I'm busy doin' it.

I wonder whether it is a genuine credit card :confused:

Erm... Astro's not a cyborg :rolleyes: Cyborgs still have human parts from their former body (usually at least the brain) ;)
Inspector Gadget and Robocop are cyborgs.

Yeah, you're right

My bad for double reasons:

1-Because I actually knew it, but didn't remember at that moment: they said it in Marine Express: Astro = robot; Millie=Cyborg. (For those who haven't seen Marine Express, Millie is a girl robot who can bleed, and has some internal organs: like Fafner states, a true cyborg). Astro (Adam in the film) and she fall in love with each other).

2-Fred Schodt (or maybe the "paperback writer" who made the text in the back cover?) calls Astro a cyborg more than once in "The Astro Boy Essays", and... And I just took the only wrong info on all the (awesome) book! Dang it!

3 -(a gift for all Inspector Gadget fans)- Dr. Claw's face sucked: http://progressiveboink.com/archive/drclaw.html
