Yeah, sort of! Funko actually has a lot of different versions of these. One is even golden.

Of course, it's not a terribly aesthetically appealing figure, so it's not something that I would ordinarily go for, myself, save for perhaps an opportunity. But since I don't even like it, I should probably save my money and leave well enough alone; the little "exclusivity factor" is a dangerous thing, indeed, to a person with as little self-control and as much need for bragging rights as me. :T

Surely that's an error?? Jeez, people who are the only ones selling a particular thing seem to think they can just ask for any price that they want; that's from the 2003 series, and is a plushy to boot, so there's no way it's worth anywhere near that much!! Pardon my language, but bloody hell! :T

That price is larger than the US National debt!

With free shipping, what a deal! If you don't have billions to spend, you can always send the seller (who has a 98% positive rating by the way) your soul, emotions and first born child.

This is one of those things that is just hilariously awful. If they're rated that high, then either that's a serious typo, or they really don't want to sell it for some reason. :T

I'm assuming since it's called "luminous doll set" that they glow in the dark. But they look kinda freaky unpainted like that. Also, who's the other robot? What's that extra stuff in the middle? Why does Astro not have elbows? Or a waist? What's with the skull???

Are you a true Astro Boy fan? Then pick up this Astro Boy pocket fan on Ebay today!

In all seriousness, I like how Atom's face in the images looks angry, while the product itself has a happy Atom face.

EDIT: Whoops, stretched the screen a little bit. Not too bad though, so it should be fine.

I love the Engrish on the back. They even wrote "Batterries" after spelling it correctly! Speling not incleded.
