Speed Racer Rice Bowl

I felt like I needed a revv'd-up rice bowl to go with my awesome Astroboy Boy miso bowl (see HERE), and lo and behold what should I find, but this incredibly cute Mach Go Go Go, aka Speed Racer rice bowl from the 60's. Illustrated on both sides (though Trixie's hair is as much off model as the lip color registration), and adorned with the iconic Tatsunoko seahorse sticker, I may not ever actually eat any rice out of it, but it sure looks great on my collector shelf!

Maybe Trixie dyed her hair, they say blondes have more fun so she decided to kick up the fun a notch. its as good an explanation as any other.

I love these dishes you're posting. It makes me want to take a bunch of pictures of our Moomin cups.

From my experience, JMR, blondes who color their hair RED seem to have more fun ;)

Please do, Mr C, would love to see them!

I know this is an old post, but I'm curious if you have any more information on tis rice bowl? I actually have 2 - a pink one and a blue one, but I do not know what era they come from.

Sorry Francis, I really don’t have a clue… though I assume it was made while Speed Racer was originally airing on Japanese television in 1967
