    Hmmm, mixed feelings about this. I'm glad that we're finally getting AKB figures now and everything :approve: but... why barbies? Why couldn't they be like the PVC anime ones instead? There are some other good ones with many points of articulation over the barbie type... Damn, this is gonna be hard to explain when my sister recieves my mail (or to anyone else for that matter). [sweat]

    Guys, no one said they're selling this. ;) If you take a closer look at the pictures you'll see that it's some sort of display / exhibit in a bigger room. And since Aki-P was doing a lecture today at "Kyoto University of Art and Design", I suppose it's safe to say that those dolls are a student project.

    You wouldn't... :blink:

    Maybe they could make AKB Figmas, someone should get onto GSC about that :)

    Kyoto University has dolls like those on display. :hmm:

    I might as well add that to the 1000 places I really need to see before I die. :^^;:

    Hopefully the internation (English) version of Akimoto's Talk Asia interview will eventually pop up somewhere, but in the meantime, the transcript can be found here:

    Please no - I finally kicked the figure buying habit, but not before my room ended up looking like a Mandrake shop. I'm already worried enough about the anime series tie-ins. :^^;:

    AKB Lika-chan dolls... bet Akimoto would make a killing licensing those out.

    Those Gundam Iiwake ones... I'd drop some cash for them.

    Not sure if this has been discussed .. but on "笑っていいとも 2011.12.23", Aki-P jokingly said about the possibility of a World 48 Senbatsu Election in the future .. and he said something like "Blah blah-chan from Shanghai 48, total vote number .. 285,000,000 ..."

    I was just thinking .. if he really creates a Shanghai 48 .. and with the number of new fans growing in China .. we just might get some crazy number of votes in the future .. 0_____0 ..

    Of course, 285 million is way ridiculous .. lol

    I understood on first sight "go on petrol". Yup, robots must have a choice of fuel... :whistle:

    Nevertheless, they all possibly don't need sleep as much as we do... another sign of superiority!
