Hi, does anyone know anything about this Astro Boy figure I bought today at a charity shop?

It appears to be one based upon the 2003 animated series. The one on the left is a cutesy version, which is rather popular in Japan. The right one is standard.

Thanks for the reply, I've been searching Google high and low and have only seen the figure in the following blog:

Are they rare and collectable?

I know not. Try waiting 20 years, & maybe recoup the cost of storing in in unopened / mint condition for that long.
