Cyclone Trooper Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) I was flipping through the Gold Book this afternoon and when I came across the Minmay Doll's line art on page 249, it made me think about the relative scarcity of this particular item from Macross merchandise. Hell, the GB even gives specific measurements on what the doll's height is supposed to be (20cm tall). To my knowledge, the only doll that's been made is the one that came with the CM Macross Collection Minmay set...and that one is nothing but a PVC statuette. I may very well be wrong about this, and if so, I'd love to see pics. Seeing how the Minmay Doll played a pivotal part in both the original SDFM and DYRL as one of the catalysts behind the "cultural contamination" among Zentraedi troops, I would have thought some company--at some point--would have produced a working replica of said doll. The Minmay Doll seems to be very similar in nature to the iPets that have come out in the past few years. You can play streaming music through them (and some can have songs uploaded to onboard memory) and they move to the beat of the music. In essence, this is what the Minmay Doll does. She dances a little jig as she sings. The technology is there...it's just a matter of applying it to this particular doll, I guess... I think it'd be a neat addition to a collection, personally.

EXO Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think the problem is manufacturing a automated doll that's targeted at 30-something male consumers (without any pleasure functions that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hmm...point taken... hey don't get me wrong... if they made a movie/show accurate minmay doll that had the songs built in... I'd probably buy it. (I bought all the movie accurate Toy Story stuff) But how many of us Macross Collectors that would are out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
