With its box and sticker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe monochrome palette changes the character of the figure entirely. The skin is a soft, translucent grey, the hair, belt and trunks a deep gloss black, and the boots and lower legs a smoky clear vinyl that lets light pass through. Without the familiar red and green, the sculpt itself comes forward, the round cheeks, the clenched fists and the famous two-point hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edition nods to the black and white television series of 1963, the first Japanese anime made for weekly broadcast. Secretbase, the Tokyo soft vinyl studio, numbered its early Big Scale releases, and the Monochrome edition is one of the quieter, more architectural pieces of the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secretbase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big Scale Astro Boy #5, Monochrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) by Osamu Tezuka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft vinyl, clear grey vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 45 cm (17.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original printed box and sticker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan (per box)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opened, figure in fine order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight as stated for the Big Scale series; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 2 cm (0.5 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure is clean, with only the faintest signs of having been handled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe box shows wear: a torn corner, a dent near the tape, creasing and a few marks, shown in the close photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (excellent)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChecked and photographed in Japan before dispatch.
