To everyone calling these "dolls", I must inform you they are not, they are figures, dolls are like Barbies, heck, I suppose you could consider the Hot Toys stuff "dolls", but not these, these are different. Just thought I'd say.

Who gives a **** ? If the lady is more focused on what you own rather who you are, then she's far too materialistic to begin with. And if you want a one night stand, then hell, shove that shit in the closet.

When it comes down it, they're pretty much like fembots, and if you're afraid of having that in your collection, then that's you and you alone.

Reminsd me that I need to make a TFA Nightbird and Nightbeat..

I hate to inform you, but here are some of the other releases in this line:

Looks nice, wont be getting it but still looks good.

Does anyone else think of Magnamon from Digimon when they see the blue and yellow Minerva?.

I think youre missing my entire point. The anime style of faces makes them look like teenage girls. Collectible dolls can be made to look "hot" without having them look underage.

Take Tomb Raider for example:



But if you were to display these dolls on your shelf, some people might think you got some real issues...





This isnt the late 90's where anything goes. Anyone suspected of lusting underage girls is not respected where I come from. And all I was trying to say is these dolls can be mistaken for something the buyer doesnt intend to suggest.

BTW, Barbie dolls are posable and collectible also, so these are indeed "dolls".

How are Barbie's "posable"? They have what, five swivel joints? And yes, they are collectible dolls, but stuff like Gutto-Kurus and figmas are collectible figures.

I think the final acid test of whether a figure is a "doll" or not is whether it can wear actual clothes that can be changed without popping off or interchanging body parts. Since these have interchangeable faces and the only way to put the helmet on involves popping her hair off, and said hair is one flexible piece of plastic as opposed to being rooted, I'd say these are clearly "figures", not dolls.

Makes sense to redeco Minerva in Nightbeat colors since Nightbeat's toy was released as a mail order figure over in Japan as "Minerva Night Beat".

Minerva IS a teenage girl! She's 15 years old. All Headmaster Juniors are teenagers/preteens. It was the Godmasters who were young adults/middle adults. Sheesh, man.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too.





Pretty clear which one of these is the doll.

More than 100$.... Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.......

Still it's the closest thing to a humanized Optimus Prime as I can get and he'll fit so well next to my God Ginrai. I'll have to bite the bullet. I may buy him later than intended, but I'll have him eventually.
