Doll Body

Dang...nice 6-pack (OO)

Kinda weird... but it's probably awesome to use as artistic reference!

Looks kinda creepy actually to be honest.

>.<
Makes me think of Terminator. The killing machine.

Toes! XD

Weird doll, but very pose-able though. Looks like its very good for artistic references.

As an artist... This is definitely USEFUL!
18k yen is totally painfunl though...

That doll would be amazing to use as a model for drawing. Though, that would be one expensive model...

How the Terminatrix (TX) should have look like in T-3.

Eva unit 00 Hashin! Yup, this new doll body seems more like a prototype doll size evangelion to me.

The poses look really good!

Not too sure a human would be comfortable in this pose @.@

Oh wow... that looks scary. But I love well articulated figures... and they wud be wearing clothes all the time.... but still... 18000 yen? Not likely I'd bite. 10000 yen? Possibly. But I gotta save money for cons.

THE TOES MOVE. OMG. But.... unless they're wearing socks... or going bare foot... whats the point? lol

Would totally need some gloves lol. Reminds me of my Zaku's hands.

Like the idea of a fully pose-able doll but it really looks gross. Could fully cloth it but the head and face are still ugly. Cool idea though.

The future of otaku doll craze is now!
The despair of our wallets is today...XD

That's some doll alright! Based upon the muscles of the human body, I can say ot sucks if that's a model kit we need to build. XD

Would absolutely love one of those for art references, but oh the price... Still, the ultimate doll reference.

Beats those little wooden guys by a long shot. I always debate getting one when I'm at the Arts and Crafts stores... but I just don't like how limited they are. No where near as articulate as this doll, right down to fingers AND toe placement.

This would be an amazing tool for drawing! With such life-like posing capabilities, it would make the ultimate pose-reference model

This is definitely something for the true doll connoisseur, or artist maybe.

Wow that thing is super pose-able - and most of the doll joints are hidden!

That's really cool but with all those visible joints, she looks rather mechanical. Even if she's making human poses.

Wow, not what i would have expected. I love how posable it is though.

I have to say too that this would make an awesome robot in a movie, i'd love to see the parts translucent with moving parts and wires underneath. Someone get on that. ~_^

very cool pose-ablity but a bit too I dunno "naked" without the flesh cover over all those bits? ^^;

That's actually pretty darn cool, once you get past the initial 'uncanny valley' sensation. Actually, one of these would be pretty handy for art - you could pose her as you'd see fit! Much, much better than those simple wooden mannequins they sell in art supply stores. Of course, there -is- the price tag to worry about, but can't win 'em all.

It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as other dolls, but it's really impressive from a technical standpoint. Those poses look great. A bit expensive to be used as an artist's tool though, and the face sculpting might have to be improved a bit to use her as a doll for display.

The poseability of this doll is truly awesome. But it looks kinda freaky without clothes on.

Room for articulation spotted

It's a somewhat German Suplex, just without the leg folded over, reminded me of Onizuka in the manga when he performs the German Suplex for the Chairman of the school...Great

In 1995 an exhibition titled "Body World" was presented in Tokyo - don't know where, the "artist" was Gunther von Hagens, who had developed a method for preserving the human body - his work was created from real human cadavers, showing muscles, etc. von Hagens developed the process in the 1970's. 8O

This would be something good in an art class...though I must admit it's somewhat creepy yet intriguing at the same time...

I don't know why but this doll reminds me of Battle Angel Alita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Angel_Alita

that's a scary one

i am so needing one of these right now O_o;;

body anatomy has always been a bane to newbie artists...and all the body pose references u have to find all the time....this would be a god send!

Price is also a god send tho ~_~;;; not sure if i can afford but DO WANT!

Hmmm...
Why does it reminds me of Ghost in the Shell...

aesthetically, i think it's beautiful, but it's quite expensive for my tastes.

It's 1/6 Perfect Grade Doll! 0_0

Whoa~!? Eyelids!?

Unless they provide a soft rubber skin (Similar to soft bust on the Obitsu...) to cover her exposed skeletons, I don't think this will sell...

That's one crazy articulations!!! (o)_(o)

Freaaaaaky......!!!.....a taste of i-robot perhaps??? >.<

reminds me of a MG model

To be honnest, I'd reather have one of those "jointless" ones. The movement is more limited, but it looks prettier.

This looks pretty cool, it gives me the image of a mecha musume.

It looks interesting and all ... but I, for one, think these are kinda creepy. If they went the mecha route with this, I'd probably be okay. But as for now, I'll have to pass on this neat doll.

oooh.. bendy..

Very flexible looking! I'm just thinking of a way to hide those joints somehow ^^;

Me want one. Reminds me about Ghost in the Shell :)

This would be a fantastic anatomy reference figure.

I hope they continue producing them. The world of artists could use them!

It looks really weird, but also really cool. Some sort of stretchy plastic?

That is some creepy stuff.

I think this would look good painted in gunmetal or silver^^

Kinda want, price throws me off. Would be great as an art reference. About that whole skinned human thing...eh put a body suit on her, will be just fine.

All one word... Fullaction!

Woah. I love the intricate joints and flexibility.

Hmmm, give it some sort of metallic paint coat and some LED red eyes and you got yourself a terminator :P

The range of motion is very impressive! Maybe meant for those dollfie owners seeking a little more excitement with their daughters!

Wow, what an amazing engineering feat! Really impressive.

Got a huge Ghost In The Shell vibe from it though.

Definite want. As well as being extremely useful for art/drawing like people have said before. I don't buy any figures very often but this is something i must have a look at. Just that pesky fact of no overseas delivery. Well let's hope for a giveaway, even if it isn't likely.

It would look a lot better with some kind of flexible skin covering up those inner works. All those sharp edges don't make it very pretty, so if it goes on the market like this I wouldn't buy it.

seriously need soft skin , unless u like a girl who have bruce lee body

a future for a new type dollfie body

Looks like a feasible under skin frame for a persocom.
Otaku no longer will have a need for real women ^^

Wow, thats amazing! Such craftsmanship. Instantly reminded me of the cyborg bodies from ghost in the shell, and for that reason alone, i want one! Not really into dolls, but this thing is a work of art in itself

Looks like the T-X or an eva.

Now they just need to make some sorta soft skin cover over these articulations. Maybe in a few years time there will be dolls even larger than dollfies with these sorta articulations but covered with some sorta layer to hide these hideous joints.

As a artist, this would make a great reference tool. It's amazing as a standalone figure too. The price isn't too bad either.

Can it really balance so well?
It's kind of scarey, like one of those Shirow Masamune androids.

she has AB's of STEEL!

We had a discussion on this figure on onesixthwarriors (obviously)--while it's nice, aside from the price tag, not many of us 1/6 guys will want one, unless they release it in Gunmetal/steel colors. Those joints give it great poseability, but also make it seem wasteful to cover it up -completely- with gear and clothing. Not to mention, I'm worried that clothing will just limit the figure's movements, so the poseability with clothes on may not be all that different from a standard Hot Toys or orth high-end 1/6 action figure.

In fact, this figure might work well as a Ghost in the Shell or Appleseed-inspired cyborg; i.e. wearing military clothing, but with enough body parts exposed to show the mechanical aspect of the doll.

This one is on the REALLY DO NOT KNOW IF WANT list

it's nice... but i guess we'll eventually warm up to it someday

It's definately something to keep an eye for. When the skin comes though...

P.s. If a DD size happens to come along... I'll be waiting.

This is so very very nice. The muscle detail is an art itself.

Male version too please :3

Price is a factor, but if I were a serious artist I wouldn't think twice about it as the return on investment would be worth it, especially when you consider the amount of time spent on looking for references =/
The amount spent on it would be earned back in a few commissions, depending on the quality and popularity of your work.

Someone has to make a Drossel out of this.

that's freaky

Spooked the hell out of me.

It has good balance, doesn't she?

Man, this pose totally reminds me of "angel Rebirth" post by Gally from Gunnm (or Battle Angel Alita).
Right down to the details and open spaces

I'm not really into dolls (rather like they scare me) but this is damn impressive!!!

Not strange its expensive. They have to focus on some body characteristics to imitate a human body. The next step will be the face. They are going to use those memory materials and a connection with a PC, via USB (or WiFi or Bluetooth). -_- Reminds me of Hand Maid May. (Sad future if its like that).
I think its cool. =)

Would totally buy it, just because of it's awesome balance and poses.

The poses are damned realistic.

kindly scary for me.

how the future robot internal part would look like - their first trying out on a doll, then moving on to real human sized robots

now this doll is interesting. ^^

i am so going to buy this !! it will be awesome for poses !!! place it in a pose then take a hd picture of it then made a guide from the pose then redraw the anime character this is awesome so detailed i love it this is a must get for me i am bad with poses so this will help allot ^^

Holy crap... How long did it take them to design this? It must have been a nightmare getting all the parts to interlink without jamming one another.

Pretty cool, but would be way better if it had an outer skin layer that still allowed all poses. I couldn't decide how I would want her to stand though.

Bandai should mass produce this, the customisation possibilities are endless

AWESOME !!!!!!!!! i want one >.> do they have man Version ???

Impressive.

Quite a lot of details packed into such a small body...would make great references in the future....

The doll is amazing....But the looks.....really scares me off, especially when I wake up in the middle of the night and see's her O.o

Sweet monkey Jesus...this is now the one item on my Christmas list!

I wish she could come with a skin pack to cover all those skeleton-look body parts LOL, that's would be wonderful

Oh my, seeing her naked creeps me out, but those poses... the flexibility is very tempting...

Now I just need to figure out how to put skin on it to hide the joints.

Something strangely attractive about the joints. I'd be tempted to paint her white, with maybe a few on the inside bits painted black for a "Bjork - All is Full of Love" robot kind of look.

isn't this abit like a fusion of woman and He-Man :P

Those hands and feet would probably go really well with an Obitsu body or something. The less hand-swapping, the better. Other than that, it would be better off with a silicon skin layer.

This is like a work of art !!!
Would be nice to have one if I can affort it in one go.

really cool but too expensive. TToTT

If they could maybe put like... Some kind of soft, pliable skin on it wouldn't hurt to look at so much.

Remarkable. I wonder if this could be applied to robotics...?

I wish she had a better wig than those stupid looking plastic wigs. And her eyelashes looks ugly.
But her arms are beautiful.
This with a normal doll face would be a masterpiece~

I've seen similar attempts at complete articulation like this in the past, but they have been "garage kit" type things and ugly. This is an interesting development. But still a bit ugly...

Well now that is very slick actually.. good engineering went into it, you can tell.. and lots of study of how the body's joints and muscle works together.

I can't say I wouldn't want one for my Dollfies, it would be pretty neat.. as long as they found a covering for it that could replicate skin to a degree.. have stretch.. but no tearing.

the first picture look like the pit in ghost in the shell when the major tries to rip open that tank lol

Oh man, I need one of these. It'd be really helpful in drawing, even if it looks like it could come to life and kill me in my sleep...

Holy crap... it has eyelids!

Now if it had some kind of skin... I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Probably need to head to my basement laboratory and raid my supply of spare kidneys...

Cool figure, but i don't think I will get one.

This just reminds me of Motoko Kusanagi's android body from Ghost In the Shell. Or the character from Shirow Masamune's Black magic

I just can't believe she's only 1/6 scale. She has so many tiny pieces!! She's absolutly a piece of art and great poser dollies are awesome, but personaly I prefer a more simple, pretty and bad poser doll than a weird and sometimes ugly wonderful poser. I'm more classical in that sense, I'm a sucker for more classical joints.

omg this is so awesome O_O
i so want one >_>;

This is REALLY good for an artist who can't get a woman to pose for his sketching practice. Also, I imagine one could put a thin layer of clay or latex on the outside to produce a skin.

while brilliant and incredibly articulate but I can't help but think that this will be the skeleton base for the next female terminator. >_<

Still I would be willing to pay that amount, imagine the photo experience I could conduct with this!

Perhaps one day they will have some type of skin for it. As of right now it's very robotic looking and almost as if a body was skinned...

zettaticulated.too many joints.

wow. that looks very interesting.

gravure idol poses tiemz XD

Feet are way tooo big.

Would buy it if its painted but in a sense it look kinda creepy to look at. Forking 18,000 Yens is not an easy task for me T_T

WOW.

Now THIS is something I can get excited about. I'm an action figure kind of guy, so this is right up my alley. Danny, I like your idea about the metallic paint. Customization of these things could be amazing. I would love to boil that thing and disassemble it to examine all the joints. Then I'd dye it all black and airbrush on some metallics on top of that. The price is way too high, but this is a specialty item I may have to shell out for. The problem is, I'm in New Jersey. Maybe I can get some help acquiring one from Japan in 2010. No clothes would go on mine, though. I would want to display all that amazing engineering. Great stuff.

Hope they make some customized parts ;)

This is the closest articulation I ever seen, must had taken research from human muscle movements.

So I can expect a more articulate figma/actsta in the future?

this is ugly

Really awesome for drawing, not quite awesome the price ^^;;

Woow cool doll alas way too expensive.

This is great for drawing references. Really Nice doll, it can help 3d sculpting too. ^^

Think I have to start saving my money if I want one of these dolls.

no way!
if this's real then OMG. not only the articulations but proportional weight too? is made of various kinds of materials?

after dressing it up with kamen rider femme suit taht would be purrfect! well for me anyway ^^

looks a little creepy but I'm getting the feeling that this thing is going to be required materials university art classes

I think it would be great as a pose model for an artist, or repainted to be an android, other wise I would want to see some cool outfits / body suits and gear.

Wow, I'm pretty used to BJD bodies, but that is a bit too creepy for me!!

Any news on whether overseas buyers can buy this?

The work put into this body is astounding! I am very interested in getting one so after running the website through a few translators and emailing the company they told me that they would not sell her to people overseas :( Im not very confident that her look will win over many American hearts though, so it seems she will be a tough one to find

This is almost perfect, im thinking if some manufacturer makes a silicon skin for this skeleton to hide the articulation will became the beginning of the second age of dollfie.

This would make a great cyborg doll
