I just bought one in Toronto Canada for $70CA. DONT PUT IT IN A TUBLE DRYER. Hello its plastic.

They come in White, Royal blue in S & M , and Black and Red in Large and XL. stupidly they’ve done the sizing like that.

The new Atom BOy movie is out next year so find these now if you can!

Cheers

It’s a great shirt, i ended up buying one, but I never wear it, except for very special occasions

When I was in Japan two summers ago the astro boy t-shirts were in almost every souvenir shop in a variety of colors, ranging from children to adult sizes…

I bought that T-shirt in Japan 3 years ago, now I need a replacement. It’s fine to put it in the washing machine but I learnt the hard way that it doesn’t like the tumble dryer. I melted him, it was tragic.

Anyone who can get these t-shirts easily should put them on Ebay to sell in the UK, loads of people are after them!

I believe they are also available at Villains (on Haight St.) in SF… at least I saw one there a month or so ago.

Meh, saw these ridiculously priced t-shirts during junior year of high school. They can be found on Grand Street near Chinatown (heading towards Soho) in New York City. Just look towads your left and you’ll see a hole-in-the-wall Japanese store. Forgot the name.

I can buy that very tee shirt by the dozen at a shop very near me. Not $60 either, more like 40

Very cool, yes I think you’re right Philip, I remember them from growing up

@grom thanks for the detailed write up, very good points, especially about searching on his Japaniese moniker.

If it’s what I’m thinking it is, it’s a lenticular image.

You can get these in the UK - I got mine (a white version of this) from Octopus in Leeds about 5 years ago. No website for the shop but details here
http://www.shoppinginleeds.co.uk/city-centre-leeds-shopping/source/shopping-in-leeds-5746.html
they have more shops around the country.
I bought another one that was a variation of this (the hologram bit was smaller and there was no writing) for my daughter about a year ago and they still have a few of those design in but they’re all way too small for me (I assume that they’re girl tees).
After 5 years mine still looks good - the only issue with the hologram is that you have to dry them flat or it creases and dries with a bent bit in the middle!
I’ve found them online in the past but normally from Japanese sites but bear in mind that the original Japanese version isn’t called Astro boy but Tetsuwan Atomu (Mighty Atom) and was created by Osamu Tezuka - that should help you find them online
Sorry for the length but thought the info was worth it.

This is a great shirt. I have been trying to find somewhere that sells these online but no luck as yet. It’s a damn shame!

Well spotted Karl, nicely done.

sort of like a hologram, it’s actually more like those plastic two frame animation cards that used to come out of cerial boxes on occasions, one’s where you would tilt the card and the picture changes.
