I don't have the latest GiantRobot magazine in front of me, but there was an article about a guy who was pursuing his holy grail toy for years. I can't remember the name at the moment, Poseiden kinda reminds me of it, but the bidding started around $9000 and he pulled the finally trigger at around $15,000... That's pricey vintage vinyl. I gotta look up that figure again... |

Nah some toy collecting nerd and how it took him years to find this holy grail toy. Like hunting everywhere for years, and then borrowing someone's laptop to bid $15 grand on YJA... |

Also, I like the greyscale Astroboys more than the flesh ones for some reason. Then again, I also don't get the Cocky figure. |

Astroboy is one of my very favorites hands down. I have a soft spot for the nostalgia of it all. This is a Medicom version I picked up a few years back. It is amazingly articulated and the chest opens up to show his little lite up heart - SIGH

Is this the one where he originally comes with a sticker over his eyes like he is asleep and the you peel it off? I have seen this figure at some shop going for like $200 but not sure if it's made by Medicom. |

i've got that fella, he's indeed a medicom. I bought him for $12 at a comic store locally. There was also greyscale versions of him available as well. Shape is right, he has great articulation. I missplaced mine, but you can pull the feet off and replace them will little rocket trails so it appears like he's flying. |

There is also a very similar DIECAST version about the same size. I need it too. But no sticker over the eyes as far as I know. I have the monotone and another version by medicom still sealed-chuckle ! I need to dig those up . Need more shelf space. I also have a few diescast robots I need to display, talk about articulation. |
