ADMINDATA Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Unusually Oversized! The details are remarkable not what you would normally catch on the box itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roboto Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Great addition, fantastic artwork! I remember seeing this for sale on eBay thru a company called Vintage gate in 2014, Metal house also had the Prototype painting which looked different than the original but at the time the Proto was not listed for sale.

K-9 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Roboto, I recall the eBay listings of the original artwork as well. There were also original paintings for the Horikawa Super Space Attacker and Razor Spaceman robots box artwork offered on eBay or elsewhere at the time. The oversized Rotate O Matic Super Astronaut artwork is going to look amazing in Ozzie's museum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrarobotman Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Very very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymie Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Absolutely stunning. I can't believe Horikawa covered up the flying spaceship with lettering (or I guess the proper term for written Japanese would be "characters"). Seems like the design could have been reconfigured somehow to avoid that. Hey, it might be okay from time to time to cover up part of a Picasso or a Monet for the sake of commerce, but this is serious art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Stelab9 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Cool! What is the meaning of the japanese writing beside? Do we have a clue about this S.T artist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymie Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I of course can't read Japanese, but if you compare the handwritten vertical characters to the characters on the box, I believe you'll see that they're identical (at least in part). So it must say "Rotate-O-Matic Super Astronaut" (or at least some fragment of that name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrarobotman Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 My initial thought about the "S.T" was safety toy, but I think those standards came out later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the common version of the Rotate-O-Matic Super astronaut, the flying saucer can be seen The S.T Signature appears also on the attacking martian artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
