With the Red and Blue versions there were some slight color changes to the Tanks and outer bands.

Also the tin face Litho are different between both.

After 17 years Osaka made the final run in 2010 with the OT34R and OT34B versions using there last remaining parts. Both version had 18 makes and the cards were now made different in a paper form unlike the 1993 cards done in a metal flex look and feel to them.

Osaka also added that special Tin Age Made in Japan logo to the bottom of the soles for this last OT34 run.

Osaka made a few great looking and working Astro Boys. First up the OT11 standing 12" tall with batteries in legs for the walking action with lit head and chest opening up. Came out in 1997 with around 1500 makes.
