Damn, those look nice.

Good thing I promised myself I would never get any "man dolls" no matter how much they looked like a mech.

Now lets hope I don't talk myself out of that promise cause these are tempting. *SLAP!* Be strong Dante, don't do it you hear me?!

Yeah, I used to suffer from MDP. Thankfully we're feeling much better now.

[EXO]

They're not "man dolls"!!! They "poseable model kits"! That look like dolls...

for men.

damn.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

So when are they coming guys? I heard December in Japan, and January for international release whateverthatmeans.

MY bro wants one, and there is no HLJ.com release as of yet. Hobbyfan has a pre-order..

[wolfx]

Well..i can tell myself that Briareos doesn't have his big ass gun so i won't be getting it.

But those seburos look just as good.

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Bri looks hot, but as good looking as Deunan's figure is, I would prefer a Shirow-esque head on her.

[Tober]

Cool Girl are releasing a 1/6(?) figure of Deunan as well.

F2F have it up for preorder. It appears to be more expensive even with the 15% discount. I'm wondering if the anime head in the picture means that the figure will have a more accurate head sculpt?

release date and price?

edit: nevermind...holy crap they are expensive.

[Guppy]

jeez, another awesome toy coming out! Now can we get a 1/6 landmate for her to go in? :0

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

This is bad...

No big ass gun?

Check this.

It might be a man doll but it sure looks "kewl", and look at all those bad ass weapons, that's not girly is it?

I'm slowly getting in touch with my feminin side...

[eugimon]

so awesome.

[EXO]

I'm planning to sculpt a shirowesque head for my deunan (probably using the Motoko doll head as the base)... most likely to end up on the cool girl version. I planted the more shirow looking head on the smaller movie figure also.

[UN Spacy]

BEAUTIFUL. Too bad I'm not an Appleseed fan.

Now. If they released a GITS:SAC Major and Batou THEN I'd pick it up.

[ShadowerV2]

Very nice. But I might get the Wave ones instead of this since the budget can only allow for so much purchasing.

[sketchley]

Bwahahah.

The sign next to the figure says "no pictures"! Someone can't read...

[Impreszive]

I like them, but they are way too expensive for a figure.

Nice, that mix doesn't look bad at all - I'll have to try it if I can find the parts.

Wow, over $300 to get the pair...bah, who needs new clothes and food when you can have killer looking man-dolls!

[doodler7]

very nice indeed...i'm gettin rid of most of my toys...and i saw these. damn it.

but my question now is, how poseable are they...like RAH figures?

i have a Robocop by HOT Toys and he's pretty cool.

i guess what i'm asking for is a poseability like the SOC EVAs

damn it!...someone needs to make sturdy locking joints.

[wolfx]

No big ass gun?

Check this.

I hate you.

[Macross73]

Gonna pass too , way to much money for these.

maybe medicom or takara will end up doing these at

some point but i'm not big into these characters any way.

[electric indigo]

What do you think of the new movie?

[Jeremy007]

meh...it looks ok. I will see it at somepoint.

[yellowlightman]

Nothing to do with these particular toys, but Appleseed in general:

[Jeremy007]

Aw, that Deunan is so cute! Did she work on something else? And what happened with that project by the way? That Briareos looked just like the manga.

[Batou]

Wooooooooooow. I just now saw these on HLJ and commenced drooling uncontrollably just about immediately. Cost shmost, I must have.

Who said 1/6 landmate?

[Nightbat]

No anime accurate head = no money from me

[Jeremy007]

ill probably only get Briareos. Deunan looks nothing like she should.

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

I think Deunan's head was made this way to match the upcoming movie, where she looks less manga-ish than the latest one. Still not getting them, gotta save for the Legioss/Tlead.

[EXO]

[ShadowerV2]

Thanks Exo!

[Dante74]

So they replaced the plastic hair with 'real' plastic hair? Can't say I like it better.

[Tober]

There are two 1/6 versions being released at about the same time of Deunan. The 'Hot Toys" has the sculpted hair, the 'Yamato Cool Girl' version has the synthetic/real hair.

Thanks for the pic EXO
