(Wow, some people really have some great stuff!)

First of all, I didn't know that these were made, must be VERY RARE, but someone has a Cobalt figurine!

Then, in a thread that I started about Jetter Mars images I found in a youtube video, I had shown one drawing of Uran dressed as Astro. Apparently that did originate from Tezuka, as seen on the back cover of an original manga, in an ad. Note her belt is Purple!

I know on ebay there are lots of figurines that were made if you search for them. Some of them are really cute.

As for Uran, the little 'tomboy' that she is actually stole a pair of his 'underwear' and attempted to fight Pluto in the 1980s anime. I can't remember if that happened in the manga though. Still it's cute.

Haha, that's cute how Uran's belt is purple. >w< Looks like an ad for some kind of slippers or something? I wouldn't mind some Astro Slippers, to be perfectly honest... :whistling:

I've seen that Cobalt figure floating around on the internet quite a bit. I've been looking to get my mitts on one of those for a long time, but I can never find anybody that sells them online (outside of Japanese websites that I wouldn't know how to navigate).

Fun fact though, somebody else made another Cobalt figure back in the day that's probably even more rare (or I'm assuming because I've only ever seen like 3 pictures of it):

Those figures are kinda creepy looking, though.

But that first Cobalt figure... hnnnnnh, I want it... :(
