[El Duque]

Site sponsor Robotkingdom has posted a few in-package images of the CM's Corp Gutto Kuru Collection Ginrai figure. The figure comes packed with six heads (three regular and three that fit the removable helmet), four sets of hands, and a display stand. The figure is available now!

It's an exclusive that comes packed with their special edition Nightbeat redeco of Minelba.

I'm curious as to the origin of the Anglicization of ミネルバ／Mineruba ('Minelba') that I've been seeing recently. Is it from Takara-Tomy directly? Because I always assumed her name was taken from the goddess Minerva.

Don't strain your cerebral cortex and just buy the gal kimosabe!

It is meant to be "Minerva" yes. But, for some reason, Takara uses "Minelba" as their on-package English spelling of her name. Sadly, she's not alone in this. See this for more - http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Engrish

I love it when I can give my cerebral cortex a rest. That tfwiki page is hilarious. Not as funny as the price they be asking for that Ginrai doll though.

I agree, even though there is many reasons that justify the pricing. Ironically, though, the price and the fact I need to save money for 2013, is one of the reasons why I have to pass on this piece.

Not bagging on him, but one would think that being from Nagoya, and saying he likes toys, he would know something about the Japanese company that made this action figure. Seeing how he would have more access to other CM's stuff.

Just saying.

Then again, calling the price of this item a joke and calling it a doll is like saying the Chunichi Dragons are an overpriced softball team.

Same here. many many other things have caught my eye. That and My wife would give me no end of grief for dropping 150 plus shipping on it.

Thanks for being the first to make me feel good about being single. Because I'd hate to know what my wife would have said after dropping $360 for the Fort Max reissue.

Begging your pardons.
