When the name Astro Boy (or Tetsuwan Atom, as he is called in Japan) is mentioned, images of the iconic character may come to mind that look like this great piece. This figure of the robotic boy soaring through the skies with his jet propulsion legs, maneuvering with his arms through the clouds, displays fantastic strength with a characteristic look of childhood innocence that has made this character a timeless representative of anime as whole. Fans would be able to recognize the character just by looking at the silhouette of the flying stance,
The cel shows faint handling wear from production use. The condition is Very Good.
