KITAROxATOM new products....good or bad crossover?

[Recca_Phoenix]

They just came out with all this "KITAROxATOM" stuff, featuring Ge Ge Ge No Kitaro (another classic manga character boy) and Astro. Two of my favorites!

Some other merch features Medama-Oyaji (Kitaro's eyeball father) with Higeoyaji

and Neko-Musume (Kitaro's demon catgirl friend) with Pinoco.

So, as a fan of both of these series/characters.... I have to say, this is obviously just a marketing ploy to sell more schtuff
A brilliant one, though - combine 2 character worlds that are both hugely cute, popular, and nostalgic and sell lots!
It worked for Who Framed Roger Rabbit - you've got to admit, the Donald-vs.-Daffy piano duel was one of the best things EVAR, as was the Mickey/Bugs parachute bit..... and this is the same reason Marvel vs. Capcom and Capcom vs. SNK sell so many video games ^_^

It looks awesome, even though I don't know this other character, anyone who is crossed over with Astro is awesome

I have to vote for greatest crossover match ever. Kitaro and Atom are effectively the two boy heros of early manga but utterly opposite poles - robot/zombie, sweet/morbid. I love them both and the crossover is genius. Where can I buy this stuff?
