Why?
For what purpose?

I have to correct you on one aspect..Ginrai and Minerva are technically cyborgs. Human with machine parts.
Though, combine them with their Transtectors and you got full blown Super Robot Lifeforms ("chou roboto seimeitai") with human souls.
The episode that Shūta, Cab, and Minerva got their Masterbraces. Upon entering Suit Mode, they tested out their bodies and found that they now possessed extraordinary abilities beyond normal human capability. Their bodies were now robotic, but could go back to being organic whenever they returned to regular human form. That's the magic of Chōkon Power.RhA wrote:Sabrblade wrote:In Suit Mode, aside form their heads, they no longer have any organic components in their bodies, with their robotic armor suits literally becoming their actual bodies.

At what point is this established? The cyborg-part, I mean. I'm not bing a wise-ass about it, I'm just curious. I always thought that they wher people in suits. Integrated with each other, but suits.

Looking at the shots of the back of the figure, his knees appear to have a double joint... why they didn't detail this is anyone's guess, but it certainly does appear to be movable.Sabrblade wrote:I just noticed something. How articulate are Ginrai's legs? In all these images, his legs are barely repositioned from his standard pose. Can his knees even bend at all?

Give it a rest already with the doll nonsense. If it doesn't have any soft material and/or removable clothing, it ain't a doll. The word "figure" is even in the product's name for crying out loud.Rated X wrote:5 faces and they cant give you one without that corny hairpiece sticking over his forehead ??? Cartoon accurate or not, it's just plain annoying like the pointy hair on Alphalpha or those 2 puff balls on Archie's head.
I must admit the Minerva doll is growing on me. It might be the first and only doll I ever buy. I wont even try to sugarcoat it. It is what it is.

In fact, I dare you to try cuddling with these without hurting youself (and without being careful, mind you).

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
Oh, if only he looked more like Patrick Stewart. Then he'd also be Professor X in addition to Captain Picard.Mkall wrote:Jean-Luc Picard as a Headmaster.

Though, "as a Powermaster", not "Headmaster".
Though, it being a Headmaster would make it all the more perfect, as you say it looks like Picard, who was played by Patrick Stewart, who also played Charles Xavier, who was also the "Headmaster" of the Xavier Institute (A.K.A. the X-Mansion) in the X-Men fiction. It all comes full circle.Mkall wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, see guys? Hi-Q isn't black.Oh, if only he looked more like Patrick Stewart.

That's what I get for posting before caffeine.
