Nov 12 2007'Astro Boy' Concept Art
With this concept art for the Astro Boy, I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed they're deciding to make concept art at all (are the 50 years worth of manga not enough?) or that they're making such pathetic little changes. More metal stuff on the arm gun? F***ing brilliant. If anything, make him less naked, or at least do something that would distinguish him from a cyborg Big Boy.

That's the best automotive cigarette lighter I ever saw and I don't even smoke so lighters are not my thing.

Astro Boy came way before MegaMan, Uncle Eccoli. It was the first anime EVER!

um...its okey to see astroboy without a shirt on and wearing only black undies, coz hes a little boy....but this one looks like hes on his teens already, and um, its kinda awkard to see an older superhero wearing nothing even if its his top..
