Astro Boy has been around since the 1950s and was created by the most famous mangaka, Osamu Tezuka. If you have been paying attention, you would know that there is a new 3-D film that will be releasing in the US this Friday, October 23rd, 2009. 

What better way to promote this movie other than making toys of it for Happy Meals! According to the image from the official website, it looks like there will be a total of 6 that can be collected - Trashcan, Astro Boy Launcher, Peacekeeper, Astro Boy Flying, Zog, and Astro Boy Puncher. I know that there has been mixed feelings about this version of Astro Boy but I'm pretty excited to see it!
