If tin man is manufactured there must be hundreds of them working as woodsmen. If they are natural, there would be a population of at least thousands to be sustainable. I wonder if tin women lay eggs or have live births?
Live births. Tin Women have an internal, moving assembly line. They are hundreds of times larger than a tin man.
Tin man in the book was made by... not manufacturing. It was upsetting but it's been so long all I remember was "Well these books are vastly different". There was also a village of china dolls.
I remember that the Wicked Witch of the East (the one killed by Dorthy's house) had enchanted the axe of a man who was a woodcutter named Nick Chopper. The axe would randomly dismember his own body when used. Some guy he knew would replace his body part when that happened, eventually replacing everything, which is how he became the tinman.
But nobody ever said "Hey buddy, how about maybe buying a new axe since this one keeps chopping off things?"
I'm also fairly certain someone saved the body parts and made a new not him from them? That was probably a later book though.
Woodcutter of Theseus?
The books got extremely weird!
