She comes with Pegas? where do I pre-order?!

Very nice, even if you haven't followed the fiction.

Fear not! Minerva's hard sculpted hair firmly roots her in the action figure category!

IMO, 'dolls' need to have individual strands of hair.

So, I guess you'd consider the Beast Wars Neo toy of Mach Kick to be a doll, then?

Takara huh? did this cartoon air in america? would hasbro give two dupes to release it in local chains? would it cost more if distributed among local chains? would local chains think of it wired and not pick it up? would it stack up in Japanese chains and cluster selfves? would neca make their own horrible mold? would micheal bay make a horrible movie about the horrible neca toys? would hasbro make a very confused cgi cartoon about the movies where acree looks like chromia?

Doesn't she transform, sort of?

Anyway, how much does she cost? She'll be a good sidekick for my Classics Nightbeat.

...I maybe a huge noob, so spank me if I'm wrong or ignorant here.

Since this is posted in the toys-section and not in the 3rd party-section... Does that mean it's official? Because, if so, that would be too awesome for words and I would very much like to own this.

It is official, CM's Corp is pretty legit, they make figures that come with DVDs and stuff!

And it's a licensed third party item for a convention in Japan. Takara does stuff like that. If I remember correctly, the license to sell it is only for the one day and only at the convention but after that anybody can sell however many they managed to get.

And I'm still waiting on the pics of the Ginrai they're doing for the same show!

You might be thinking of the Sunrise Mecha Action Dai Atlas figure they did, cause that one was only sold at Wonderfest, these are mass release, as far as I know, there hasn't been anything that said that they were for a show anyway.

I may (read: probably) be wrong. I was under the impression it was a common thing over there, regardless of this particular case. I was told (by the guy who sold it to me, mind you) that the Jizaitoys Wheelie was one of those one day only license deals as was their Powerglide.

I never saw that figure before but his alt mode looks like a Barbie doll horse from the 80's. Robot mode looks OK though, minus the hair.

When the Megos became popular(ish) again in the '90s and Marvel & DC were putting out the Famous Covers line and the like, I collected them and fully admitted they were dolls. Cloth costumes = dolls and rooted hair + cloth costume = dolls but rooted hair =/= dolls. It's up to personal opinion here to me doll is a more esthetic thing. But Mach Kick is totally a Barbie mount!

Yeah all the Jizaitoy Transformers and the CM's Corp Dai Atlas were exclusive Wonderfest, so Minerva and Ginrai'll be way easier to get a hold of than those guys.
