Likely the perv labels comes not from owning such dolls but saying they look hot. And one certainly doesn't need to own such toys to make such comments.
They look awesome. I will move heaven and earth for the three of them.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

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 **** 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 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".
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.Rated X wrote:I think youre missing my entire point. The anime style of faces makes them look like teenage girls.

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.

By her curvaceous looks, Minerva isnt exactly a girl scout, is she ???
