CM's Corp has unveiled some colored versions of the adorable Minerva and Minelba (Nightbeat). Also pictured in the display was Ginrai (Powermaster Optimus). Posed next to their G1 counterparts we can calculate that these figures will be between 6 - 8 inches tall. Check out the pics below or head over to the original thread by clicking here.

I could be wrong, but I just dont see too many TF fans buying into doll collecting. The Botcon 2012 Metalhawk is bad enough.
Dont get me wrong, the anime chicks look hot.
But I could imagine someone who actually owned these dolls being labeled a perv by society. Im not saying everyone would think like this, but I know many women in Miami that do.

Depending on availability and price point, they'll be a hit with a lot of fans.
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.

While I'd like that, these will almost definitely go for a lot of dough.

Obviously the molds were created to make the dolls look "hot". Theres no getting around it. You can sugarcoat it all you want, but obviously, these are not made to be politically correct. A non-TF fan would interpret them quite differently. They would see teenage faces with seductive bodies. I know some mothers in their mid 20's who refuse to let their daughters play with "Bratz" dolls because of the image they project. Im not implying all women think to these extremes. Im simply implying that if you own these dolls, there are some women out there that would avoid you.

Would the stigma of owning either Minerva really be worse than what comes from being an adult toy-collector in general?
Their faces instantly remind me of those Queen's Blade figures I see at every big comic con, compared to which both Minerva's are downright kid-friendly. Hell, I'll probably buy both of them just to distract my lady friends from my Soul of Chogokin female Mazinger robots and Slave Leia.

Why is this in the 3rd party forum? I thought these where officially licensed by Takara?
Also,
WTF?! There will be a Nightbeat repaint of Minerva, with a creepy grumpy male head?
There is also the question of why Minerva comes with two different heads, that both have that same "inflatable lady friend doll" expression about them. :0

Well, I've owned this for a while now.
So far no one said anything about it, sure there's women who'd be turned off, but they should understand that it's just a fun hobby, just like with Transformers, just saying.
Actually that's Hi-Q's head, Ginrai's not-nearly-as-awesome American counterpart, complete with funky space sunglasses!

One of my favorite TF ever is God Ginrai. So when Ginrai will be out, I'll be the first in line to purchase this guy. As long that the price is reasonable. Maybe 50$?

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 fuck ? 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 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".

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

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.

By her curvaceous looks, Minerva isnt exactly a girl scout, is she ???
Maybe the actual cartoons were done in another era when nobody cared. But I doubt these dolls would get a pass from most women with kids. Not in Miami, at least. Latinos are very family oriented.

What's the big deal with the Minerva figure? And what makes Minerva creepy anyway? Btw, they're action figures if you want to go anal.
I'd consider them dolls if the costumes come off (Dolfie,VMF,Azone and AFC) those are what you'd consider "dolls". Her armor doesn't come off at all. You can't strip her down to her pantsu so why the hang ups? It isn't even Kiss Player level?
Figutto are action figures, with emphasis on action figures.....like figma.......only bigger. They're no different from SquarEnix's FF figures or their PlayArts Kai lines.
It's mentality like these that prevents Hasbro from ever releasing any female themed TFs. Thank Primus that we have the Japanese market that don't have any hang ups at all on such sublines.
Busy checking my on line Japanese supplier to get a final release date 'cause I'm getting Ginrai and Minerva.

Okay, here's the real test. Doesn't matter what you have on your shelf. If your molesting real children, you're a pedophile, if your not molesting real children then your not.
Seriously, we're getting so out of control with reading into everything. Meanwhile real perverts and criminals get released back into the world every day with nothing but a slap on the wrist because no one wants to push those issues.
Priorities please.

Amen to that Riddler J!
Who cares what those conservative anal retentive stiffs think back in Florida?
Haven't we TF collectors have enough of the derision and prejudgments leveled on us by the general public before TF became a hip and trendy phenomenon?
As for the other anime themed figures who look under age......before mouthing out against them, try understanding the culture which spawned the product first. I'll leave it at that (no wonder the Japanese tend to get xenophobic at times when a "foreign culture" tries to impose their beliefs on them).
Btw, why's this in the 3rd party section? This is an officially sanctioned TF product, shouldn't this be in the main toy forum?

@ Saberblade
I didn't mean Minerva. I know she's 15 years old. In fact, I don't even see any fuss on how she was rendered. Kawaii (that's the Japanese style........old school at that). In fact, it cause me to laugh aloud when you commented "she's not bad..........just drawn that way" ........shades of what Jessica Rabbit told the old P.I.Eddie Valiant.(So we shouldn't prejudge hot looking curvaceous femme fatales......)
I meant the other anime figs posted as examples by Rated X. One of which I'm familiar.........Shakugan no Shana. Those gals were rendered that way ( I'm not bad just drawn that way again )and no right thinking person would equate owning such figs with encouraging to do harm to girls at that supposed age range (IIRC Shana more or less hovers around 15 to 18 yrs old but who's counting because I'm in it for the story and not obsessed with her age)
But I do not want to digress any further. I take my hat off to CM. Imagine translating from 2D to 3D a character with a fully functional transformation feature? Wow!
I can't wait for her and Ginrai to be released soon.

@ Saberblade
Unfortunately, amiami just emailed me today that they still haven't received a green light from CMs concerning the actual release date. This is going to be a loooooooong wait.

Underage for what? Isn't this a figure with full clothing, parts of which are even metal? Are you all that used to seeing underwear and sideboob that you can't see an anime figure without thinking of those things?
Yeah, and this is coming form a guy with a pornstar in his sig.

Aside from their heads, neither Minerva nor Ginrai are even organic "fleshlings" in these forms.

What's up with this crazy debate all of a sudden?
Ahem....
WE A FRIGGIN' TOY COLLECTORS AND WE WILL LOOK LIKE FREAKS TO ANYONE WHO DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T CARE, OR DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
So, if someone is judging you based on your hobby, a hobby that is not against the law and that is not hurting anyone, that person don't deserves your attention. Don't try to be friend or to seduce someone who hate who you are.
That's it, that's all.
Now let's discuss how great these new figures look, how the hell can we pay for these, and when they will come out. Also, where to buy the damn things.
Also, is Minerva (the original TF) is worth the money?

Amen to that kimosabe!F*ck them for those who condemn!

Courtesy of Cybergundam Blog, we have official images of these officially licensed toys from CM's Corporation - Minelba (Minerva) and the prototype of Ginrai. We get a good look at Minerva in her bold red attire and decked out with and without her accessories. On the other hand we also get images of the prototype for Ginrai, who has a multitude of heads with various expressions. Check out the images below.

Well, these are $100 high-end action figures, those are almost completely non-poseable pack-in PVC statues.

Not bad, but I'd be much more interested if they were scaled such that the backpacks could be used with the headmaster/powermaster ports.
Of course if these guys put out a TFA version of bot-mode Sari, I'd get that!

*Looks at the newest images*
Yeah, see? Aside from their heads, these guys have no organic components in the bodies. In this state, they are no longer organic "flesh creatures".

I think what's missing for all these is an angry or battle rage expression.
