toyboxdx toy blog brog: is graceful art of daily expressing japanese toy  

April 7, 2003.  Today is the birthday of Astro Boy according to the manga.  In Japan, at the Tezuka Osamu Manga Museum, Atom finally will have “the moment of his birth.”  In the same month, a new animated TV series Astro Boy / Tetsuwan Atom will start a nationwide broadcast on Fuji Network System.  Let’s hope Bandai will come up with a chogokin version of Astro Boy with the right dimensions and accessories like all the other figures they have done.
