Pluto manga
Far left is the original image, the other are the finished product. Boy do I need a better camera...
He is as detailed as the original image but I goofed on the left spikes, they got mashed together. :d oh: For size he is a third of an inch wide and 2 and a half inches tall (1cm x 6cm). My others are about 2 inches tall each.
My Astro Boy paper dolls, happily under my monitor.

Now, can you imagine HIM wearing nothing but shorts and red boots? Some critics of the film complained that Astro wore long pants and a jacket for most of it. He could hardly have mingled with Cora and the gang in his underwear! What some people gripe about. To quote Hamegg: "Picky picky picky..."

Is there a recommended Pluto manga forum online somewhere
I am SO loving this thing -- oh, man -- this morning I read through Dr. O fixing that dog-bot and almost cried, it was so touching. It's incredibly... "real" feeling (which, in spite of the 60's animation, I always "saw" as a child).
They do have #8 online, and the end is (for me, at least) wonderful. Won't spoil it -- but I'd love to talk with other people who "get" this, and saw this compelling future in the "innocent" Astro Boy cartoons.

!SPOILERS!
I still can't believe astro could possibly die by a simple tornado. Then I had to remind myself that Astro Boy show showed Pluto to turn himself into a tornado by spinning his torso.

Did you read #7-8 yet? it is SO AWESOME. I don't want to give it away in case you haven't read the conclusion, but Tenma's insights/solutions show such genius, and you come away thinking "of COURSE!" and wondering, okay, so what IS perfect; what IS human. And why make humanoid AI robots? Because they help us understand our own creation/humanity. It's a remarkable piece of literature/art. And I think this expresses much of what Osamu Tezuka wanted to convey via The Mighty Atom.
