    Astro Boy Haircuts Give Goku A Run For His Money

    The Astro Boy booth at Comic Con reshaped the minds of manga fans by remaking their hairstyles into Astro-dos. But besides making over the droves of fans, the booth also showed off a life-size Astro Boy suspended in mid-air, and a few new Astro pictures. Click through to check out the gallery, including a powered-down robot.

    The feature film based on the scifi cartoon is supposed to come out in 2009. A lonely scientist, Doctor Tenma, builds Astro Boy to replace his son that died in a tragic accident. Astro grows and begins to fight crime around the world, but his biggest challenge is overcoming robot haters.
