For the record, a fellow forum member actually owns a lightning chibi Astro. You can see it on the "show your Astro collection" thread. It looks quite nice: must be a real beauty to watch it change colours.
It's like my good ol' He-Man sword [weeps]. I'm only 25 and I'm starting to behave like I was 26.

Everything looks cool except the shirt below the belt buckle. It looks like a cross between Astro Boy and the movie The Corpse Bride. lol.

Look what I've just found:
Image It's a ray gun made for the 80's series! It doesn't appear to make noises (maybe light up a little) but it shoots little plastic rings. Of course, you could find a similar item at a Dollarama outlet, but without Astro.
Image With fold-out target view and "Tetuwan Atom" sticker!
Looking inside the box, it comes with two shooting rings, and cardboard targets of Atlas and Guiss. (Where's Skunk?) It would kind of be a better arrangement if you got about five rings, in case you lose a few.

That's actually kinda cool for a generic toy gun with a character it has nothing to do with slapped on it XD

This gun is like "Today I'm feeling like I'm Astroboy, but, however, I feel like I'm a Cannon Films movie character as well. How to mix that?". Well, here's your ideal toy, my lil' lad!

OK, this is NOT Astro, but I laughed a lot with this one. Big X on a tricycle is the list thing I expected from Tezuka-related mercahndise.

Image

Operate on Astro like you operated on the red-nosed guy and on Homer Simpson! The question here is: what's the lighter at the bottom for?

Image
Image

Vintage menkos for fast fun. Now I recall the Tiny Toons and then Dragon Ball menko (called "tazos" here) fever in my country, during the early/mid-nineties. Meeeeeemories, fafafa-fafafaaaaafaaaaa...

Image

45 rpm single of the Astroboy song. Will you fight friend or foe? (never understood this line)

Image

TOTALLY AWESOME Chinese Astroboy toy. The artwork in the box is from the 1980 series.

Image

Astro, Uran and an unknown rabbit on their Cadillac (or it's a Lincoln?) on their way from Frisco to Santa Barbara, listeing to Jan & Dean on the radio all the while.

Image

I don't know what it is. The info just tells this is for playing on water.

Ta-da!

I have seen a few pictures of that operation game before, but never saw the organs or other parts. Do you have a link to it?

Here's the complete description with some pics.

It seems the Big X on the tricycle has been sold, so the image is not on ebay anymore :d oh: Pity, it was so funny.

Yikes. It's like they couldn't decide if they wanted him to be Astro Boy, Superman, or Wonder Woman XD I wonder what "Z" stands for in their strange little minds o_O
Image
Apparently in the future, nine year old's can drive XD

Okay, I actually kinda want this ^^;
