Why Not Have Pluto Magic Cube?

Look around the planet magic cubes, it has
Mercury , Venus , Earth , Mars , Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus , Neptune

why not have Pluto Magic Cube?
 
Pluto is not a Planet. It is a Dwarf Planet.
Yeh, in good modern science, a dwarf planet is not a planet.

It doesn't count that Pluto has an atmosphere and 5 moons.

Also, you need to know that – by definition of a planet – only the Sun has planets, not the other stars.

This has been decided by 4% of astronomers.

Other stars have exoplanets, but astronomers often improperly use the word planet for them.

Also, I should have said : in good modern science, dwarf galaxies are galaxies, dwarf stars are stars, but dwarf planets are not planets.

Why? Because.
 
Pluto was demoted in 2006 when in 2003 they found a "planet" more distant than Pluto that was larger. This ensured a debate and led to the demotion of Pluto to dwarf planet status in 2006. On the up side, the asteroid Ceres was upgraded to dwarf planet status. Both bodies will see visits by spacecraft in 2015. Pluto by New Horizons and Ceres by Dawn (which is leaving Vesta right now).
 
Pluto is not a planet, hence it does not fit with the planet theme. It is object of the Kuiper belt in the outer part of our solar system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt said:
The Kuiper belt, sometimes called the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt, is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, although it is far larger—20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies, or remnants from the Solar System's formation.

Pluto is the largest known member of the Kuiper belt
 
It would be cool if they had smaller cubes for OH solves named after dwarf planets (like pluto or eris).
