A Gatchaman sleep mask! Too funny! http://cgi.ebay.com/Gatchaman-Battle-of-the-Planets-sleep-mask-cover-NEW_W0QQitemZ380222987764QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item58870e5df4

LOL, I should get that.

I LOVE it!!!!

Love it. TJ, maybe you should get it to use in the hotel at nights when we go to the Con. You in your G1 shirt and face mask. We will think the Eagle is really there.

I never thought of that, CD! But why would he have his helmet with his civilian t-shirt?

I don't know. Maybe he can't sleep with out his helmet on? Ohhh, I got it. you know how we are always wondering where the helmets go when they transform? Well .... they turn into sleep masks.

TJ...that could be dangerous, y'know! LOL

Given that the packaging is Korean... it could be that this is the "Eagle 5" leader (a Korean remake not to be confused with Gatchaman - even though there are five characters and very similar costumes and...). There was also a video game with the Gatchaman characters in "chan" form... which was released around 2000... I'll attach a picture or two if I can find them...

I wonder if it's intended to suggest that the Eagle is eternally alert and vigilant -even when sleeping he still sees what you're doing!

Okay - I didn't find the "Eagle 5" pics yet - but I did find the video game caps which the sleep mask reminded me of....

TJ- Thats something for you buy for your next long flight!!!

Those are cute!

They are so cute!!! Chibi Condor!!!!! But still deadly..... That sleep mask is hilarious.

Too cute!!! You know, 'cute' is not a word I would associate with the Condor... *snicker* I want eight, please!

I wish we had access to that game! It looks like so much fun to play...

Oh ... two things that are holding me from buying that sleep mask are the following: 1. being afraid to scare DH to death when finding me with one on when he gropes during the night; and 2. not being used to wear one and being a person who does not tolerate so much additional things on oneself especially during sleep! Shall I have more vivid dreams of the Eagle if I wear one when I sleep, though?! I might think twice if that might be the case! Those Chibis are so cute!

LOL, Nice. It's crazy how many different types of Gatch merchandise can be found out there.

Found another webpic - the full team...

I love that full team chibi pic. I have used it as my desktop image.

Very cute! The artist must have been familiar with the show -Joe does so often stand with his arms crossed.
