Mouretsu Atarou - Atarou - Akatsuka Fujio Theater - Sofubi Figure (Art Storm, Planet Toys)Atarou

Art Storm, in collaboration with Planet Toys, produced this sofubi figure of Atarou as part of the Akatsuka Fujio Theater lineup. The figure depicts the main character from Mouretsu Atarou, a comedy manga series created by Fujio Akatsuka and serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1967 to 1970. Mouretsu Atarou, whose title translates to "Fierce Atarou," is a classic gag comedy that was adapted into two anime television series. The first ran for 90 episodes from 1969 to 1970, produced by Toei Animation, and a second adaptation aired in 1990 for 34 episodes. Fujio Akatsuka is renowned as one of Japan's most influential comedy manga creators, and Atarou stands as one of his notable works alongside other beloved titles. The Akatsuka Fujio Theater line celebrates his contributions to manga and anime culture. This sofubi (soft vinyl) figure represents the Atarou version within the collection. The use of sofubi material is a fitting choice that echoes the classic toy aesthetic of the era when the manga and its first anime adaptation originally aired, making it a nostalgic collectible for fans of Akatsuka's work.
