Astroboy Professor Ochanomizu Figurine Gashapon Osamu Tezuka Decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This figurine depicts Professor Ochanomizu, an iconic character from the Astroboy universe created by Osamu Tezuka. The item stands upright, with its right hand raised in a friendly gesture, true to the characteristic style of Japanese manga. In the photo, the figurine features an expressive face with a large white mustache, a wide blue bow tie, an olive green jacket and hat, matching trousers, and black shoes. The torso is painted white, contrasting with the other sober colors of the outfit.

The design highlights the character's slightly stocky silhouette, typical of 1960s manga illustration. Facial details, such as the round eyes and raised eyebrows, accentuate Professor Ochanomizu's jovial and benevolent expression. The figurine has a satin finish, with clear and well-defined colors. No logo or inscription is visible on the front of the item.

The character is molded in a single piece on the visible side, without articulation or apparent accessories. The hat, mustache, and bow tie are integrated into the molding, reinforcing the figurine's compact and solid appearance. The item rests on two wide black feet, ensuring good stability for display on a shelf or desk.

The color palette, faithful to the original work, and the sculpting style are reminiscent of gashapon figures, these small toys from Japanese capsules, prized for their faithful representation of anime characters. The visible surface shows no major scratches, chips, or discoloration, which indicates a good overall condition for a used item.

The figurine is ideal for decorating a workspace, a bookshelf, or a display case dedicated to Japanese pop culture, particularly around Osamu Tezuka's works and the Astroboy universe.

Condition: Used item, sold as is. The visible surface in the photo is clean and without notable defects.

Did you know? Professor Ochanomizu first appeared in the Astroboy manga (Tetsuwan Atom) in 1963. He becomes the benevolent mentor of the young robot and one of the most beloved characters in the series created by Osamu Tezuka, considered the father of modern manga.
