Well I don't like this one frigging bit, the distressed Astro boy that has been out since December in Singapore and Australia is limited and stickered to 2000.

Now EE gets one and it's limited to 1500... so there's 3500 of them? #-o

This Astro Boy is NOT a EEarth exclusive.

Postby **BigM** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:10 pm

I really like the Hulk actually. It'll probably be the only Marvel one I'll get.

Good darn question!!!

Postby **BigM** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:13 pm

Also, the Astro Boy is going to throw off the checklist lol

Im just glad I can complete my astro boy collection without have to pay 100+ for it.

Also, thank goodness we finally got some Marvel Hikari besides Groot and Spiderman. Fingers crossed next week is an Iron Man

Don't forget Deadpool! Though, for some reason Deadpool wasn't shown at all at Toy Fair...

I know it's not an EE exclusive but why is it a different numbering then the one that is already released?

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:34 pm

Yes, i am curious about that too...mine came from Simply Toys Singapore Exclusive LE 2000...looks exactly the same and named the same...i'm certainly not going to get this one when i have the other one (at considerable expense i might add)....don't like this at all.

Postby **BreacherUP** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:39 pm

Maybe it's the Hikari equivalent of the POP! vault releases, lol

Postby **MaxGoof** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:53 pm

Maybe Funko just had a bunch of Distressed Astro Boys that didn't sell and they're giving them to the US? 1500/2000 is a huge number for these.

Postby **eastWOLF** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 1:38 pm

I'm just happy to see some marvel hikari! Can't wait till they get to iron man!

Postby **Trixt** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 3:33 pm

Glad hulk showed up, can't wait to see the other variants. Iron man next please.

Postby **lovetheangels** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 3:46 pm

Numbers

Show me a letter of authenticity then I will believe something is limited. Otherwise it is a sticker on the box or a hand numbered or stamped card. OK

Postby **eastWOLF** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 4:06 pm

Wait hulk is 6 inches? I see nothing saying it's super sized.

Postby **funkystark** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 4:12 pm

From what I understand Hulk is 6", that's how he looked in the Toy Fair pics

Postby **Trixt** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 5:14 pm

Is it just me or does the photoshop work on the Hikari tags make it look like they are clipping through the box? lol

Postby **Funko5ker** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 7:42 pm

that Hulk looks so sick !

Postby **Poncho Pete** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:24 pm

Good looking hulk though his arms a bit gigantor.

Postby **AbelBeja** » Sat Apr 11, 2015 4:39 am

I'm glad I don't collect Astro Boy as I can see the "Distressed" version distressing a lot of people regarding the numbering.

Postby **hpellot** » Sun Apr 12, 2015 4:41 pm

i had to get the hulk

Postby **fingaz5000** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 9:01 am

Love the hulk, though I wonder if they're gonna be making a red one which I would like even more. Pre-ordered just in case this is my favorite one, guess I have til June to find out!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 11:09 am

Just an fyi, on Friday i sent Allison an email asking about this U.S. released Distressed Astro Boy in comparison to the Singapore released version....if i get an answer i will pass it on.

Postby **Galacticat** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 2:02 pm

wow- what an enormous edition for Astro Boy! I guess they figure he will be wildly popular? (Still no pony yet, sigh)

Did you get any response Carol?

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 9:12 am

Nope...and now she doesn't work there.

I just sent an email to Cameron, maybe he can get an answer for us.

As much as I love my Astor Boy, this is IMO the worst version to date and to make this particular Astro on the the larger runs, really left me puzzled.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 6:05 pm

Cameron replied that there are 2000 in total....so i am assuming that Simply Toys got 500 of them for their exclusive and the US release was re-stickered as 1500 ? Mickey, can you fix the description on it ?

Postby **AbelBeja** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 8:39 pm

Yay, Cameron is awesome!

So, would that mean if you got it from Simply Toys your number range would be between 1501-2000 and the US versions would be the first 1500 units?
