new VCD Astroboy

this is the new vcd astroboy. i am a bigfan but not feelin it this one.

 

I think Medicom released a Mickey Mouse VCD with a similar style. I'm not a fan of it either.

 

it reminds me of a n64 super smash character

 

It looks like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon.

 

I actually love it...I was thinking of picking one up.

 

yup, its designed by playset products who do those modern pets things. I like it. They did a whole set of tezuka characters and I think made small toys of then. I'd kill for a phoenix vinyl!

 

i see three characters from the Adventures of Unico in there. I have the VHS

 

I really like the look of it. It's really touching - a funny feeling to get from a toy.

 

speaking of vcd's this evirob is nuts:

 

that playset/modern toys dude is everywhere lately - last year he released versions of Disney characters, Marvel characters, and the Tezuka series. He also did an exhibition paying homage to Space invaders
The Tezuka series had goods sold at Comme Ca fashion stores here, plus gumball machine toys and even smaller ones sold with soft drinks.

That Evirob custom is by T9G (who does alot of Touma's sculpts) it was from the killer Evirob show from last year that I wish I had more pics of. I picked up the Mad Barbs customfrom the same show. Meary if you have more pics from that show please share!

 

Hey Data, I think they are releasing that T9GxEvirob as a vinyl toy later this year.

 

yup I got the picture from the new products section from medicom's website. Theres just one more picture of the back here: http://www.medicomtoy.co.jp/WI/0032.cgi?recno=2715

 

I did not know that. Awesome news.
