    Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all? Or if he moves will he fall?

    So funny and so cool. i prefer Tetsujin-28 to the American Iron Man. That kid looks like he want to pick a fight.

    Iron man is correct. It's most definitely NOT Iron Man.

    I think the photo here as been enlarged from the original, so that is why it has pixelated a bit. Click the photo to see the original size.

    Boy, this brings back memories. I watch it on TV (black and white) when I was living in Japan in the mid 60's.

    This place looked like a war zone after the Kobe quake and fires. Audible gasps from people as they rode the JR line through the area where Iron Man now stands. Seeing the results of a decade and a half of rebuilding makes it easier to feel confident about the future of the areas destroyed in the March 2011 tsunami.

    I used to watch "Gigantor" back in the '60s. It was fun.

    If you look closely, it looks like the kids left hand is pulling a dolly in a slingshot to hit Ironman in the nuts and bolts area.

    It definitely looks bigger than big and perhaps taller than tall too.
