Rare/Bizarre Merchandise

I don't think those two cartoons are "official" Tezuka drawings, they're just not his style. I wonder just where they did come from.

I've seen this pic around a bunch of times. It's a twofer- strange Astro Boy and Simpsons merch



That bootleg Korean bag is great btw and that skeleton one is really neat too.

I've seen that picture a lot and it always makes me think; NO! This is wrong!

Everyone knows BART was Astro Boy! XD
I do wish I could rummage through all that stuff behind the figure though

[Tetsuwan Penguin]

Does this count?

Someone's Astro Tat.

[Little Brown Fox]

Mm, probably not.

Ah, Astro Homer. Truly a classic.

Come to think of it, Astro Bart may have been one of the very first times I was made aware of the character... but I feel like at some point when seeing the episode, I had already known about him, somehow! But I don't know how, or where from! Nobody in my family likes him but me, even though some of them might be old enough to have been fans of him once. They never were, though, so where did I first learn about him...? Augh, this is frustrating...

What is that? It looks like an Atom 'Operation' game!

[Little Brown Fox]

I was gonna say that!! Is it?

[Dragonrider1227]

I remember seeing that here before. I thought it looked like Operation too.

[jeffbert]

I assume it is an OPERATION GAME.
