                        Thanks, I have never read or seen the comic. Is the comic released in Japan only?

                        I'll also post this in the sci-fi thread. This is a dio I built for AWA (Anime Weekend Atlanta). It won first place in dios. It is based on a Japanese cartoon (Anime) called Lupin the Third. It has working music and lights in the datsun 210 wich is wired to the innards from a toy electionic PT Cruiser. The headlights on the 210 light up and plays chase music when buttoms are pushed on the key pad. The Fiat is wired to the remote controller from a toy airplane granting it machine gun and jet engine sounds. The dash, headlights, and jet engine exhaust light up.  The toy plane plugs into the Fiat using an earphone jack that i toook out of something and I attached an ear phone plug to the plane controller. So all I needed inside the car were the lamps. Next time I will use LEDS. BTW the rally wheels and tires on the fiat are some cheap wheels from an old chevy snap tight Malibu police car. They were hollow in the back and I had to fill them. This dio is 1/25th scale. Here are the pics. Enjoy...
