Aoshima Bunka Kyozai-sha Inc. is releasing a "Conan version" of its "Future Boy Conan" all-purpose civil engineering robot, Robonoid! It will be priced at 4,800 yen (excluding tax) and will be available in December 2019.
The "Conan: Future Boy" TV animation, Hayao Miyazaki's first work as a director and a masterpiece that has greatly influenced subsequent animation creators, was aired in 1978 as a commemorative program for the 25th anniversary of NHK.
Aoshima Bunka Kyozai Co. has been vigorously developing "Conan: Future Boy" plastic models, releasing the "Aerial Fortress Gigant" in 2013. Falco", "Barracuda", and "Flying Machine I & II" followed, and in October 2019, "Robonoid: Captain Dice Version" was released.
What will be released this time is the "Conan Edition" of that "Robonoid". Based on a scene from episode 11 of the anime "Future Boy Conan," the figure of Conan and Captain Dice (painting required) comes with a bulletproof board, a machine gun, and a display stand. Each joint is movable, allowing the figures to be posed freely.
