Astro Boy Inflatable Ball Banpresto 1998 Original Box Tetsuwan Atom

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Original illustrated box for an inflatable balloon featuring the character Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom), officially licensed by Banpresto. The front features a large, stylized illustration of Astro Boy, easily recognizable by his spiky black hair, green belt, and distinctive red boots. The background is orange with a graphic pattern of "AT" letters, referring to "Atom".

The box has an integrated black handle on top, making it easy to carry and reminiscent of late 1990s Japanese toy packaging. The Banpresto logo is visible in the upper left, confirming manufacturing by this renowned specialist in licensed manga merchandise. In the upper right, a round sticker with Japanese characters and the inscription "TOMY TORU TORA" authenticates the official license.

In the lower left, the ©Tezuka Productions mention attests to the legitimacy of the character's license. Astro Boy's visual style is a cartoon faithful to the original design created by Osamu Tezuka, with bold colors and a shiny appearance on some parts of the character, suggesting the finish of the balloon inside (not visible in the photo).

The packaging shows some visible signs of wear on the edges and corners, typical of a used product that has been handled or stored for several years. No other accessories or internal content are visible in the provided photo: only the front of the box is described here.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The box shows visible signs of wear on the corners and handle, with no major apparent tears on the front. The internal content (inflatable balloon) is not visible in the photo.
