Different Astrogirl

[Legeremain99]

Hi All, I'm new to the forum. I have a question about a different Astrogirl than I have seen in any of the present series that are available on DVD. I believe I saw her in the late 70's on television. She looked just like Astro Boy...I mean identical. The differences were this...her helmet was pink, instead of black, but exactly the same...and her outfit was pink also. I can't remember if she wore the same attire as Astro Boy, but with a top, or if she wore a pink skirt. I also believe I remember she had the ability to fly, just like he did and stood at the same height. My question is...does anyone remember this character and what series she was from? Was there a remake done, in the 70's, that was lost...or has it just not been released on DVD? All replies are welcome.

There were 3 different animated versions, but there was no character matching your description.

Uran/Astrogirl/Zoran is always shorter than Atom/Astroboy. Even in the Jetter Mars version,


Miri is much different from her brother, being taller.

Sounds like a female version of Astroboy.

Hey Guys, Thanks for getting back. I believe I have some VHS tapes of the series that had her on it. I got them from a SciFi store in Orlando, FL quite a number of years ago. If they're still functional I'll try to get a pict of her from one of them.

Can you type in the lettering on the case, esp. episode names or any Library of Congress #?

Jeff, in answer to your question...The tapes are in Florida...I'm in Tennessee. I won't have access to them for about another month or so. When I do, I'm sure I can get that information.
