  3. The Jazwares Megaman toys were terrible!it actually amazes me that in today's toy market, Jazwares can be a viable manufacturer with that level of toymaking. Poor Astro Boy...

  4. Who gives a crap about Astro Boy? Sure, Rockman's designs were inspired in part by him, but he's the ugliest and most annoying character I've ever seen. :P

    Rockman > Astro Boy.
