Uran Astro Boy Osamu Tezuka Gashapon Figurine Pink Dress

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Expert description

Figurine representing Uran, an iconic character from the Astro Boy series created by Osamu Tezuka. This gashapon-type figurine features Uran in a dynamic pose, with open arms and a wide smile. She wears a flared pink dress with puff sleeves, matching her shoes, and her legs are cream-colored. The stylized black hair, large expressive eyes, and red mouth faithfully reflect the iconic manga design.

The finish shows clean outlines and bold colors, with a distinct separation between the dress, legs, and head. The face displays large black eyes surrounded by thick eyelashes, typical of Tezuka's style, and a joyful expression. No base is visible in the photo; the figurine stands on its two spread legs.

The front side, which is the only one visible here, shows no apparent inscription or visible logo. The overall appearance suggests a molded fabrication, with paint applied to the different parts, particularly for the hair, eyes, and mouth. The arms are spread horizontally, emphasizing the character's lively and childish attitude.

The visual aspect of the figurine is consistent with gashapon productions, known for their compact format and faithful reproduction of Japanese license characters. The item is presented on a wooden surface, without additional accessories or visible packaging.

The combination of colors (pink, cream, black) and the cut of the dress immediately identify Uran, Astro Boy's little sister, a recurring figure in Osamu Tezuka's universe.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Some minor signs of wear may be observed on the legs and dress, with no chips or visible breakage on the front side.
