Let's turn back the clock and go all the way back to the year 2009 for some pictures of a bus decorated to advertise the November 5th release of the Astro Boy movie in Singapore. Glad someone was able to capture these images, as I didn't see anything like it at the time. I guess you could call this a promotional vehicle!Astro Boy Bus by ~tintinspartan on deviantARTAstroboy Flying Over Taxis by ~tintinspartan on deviantARTAstroboy Soaring To The Roads by ~tintinspartan on deviantART
