Toys have changed a lot since my day

Okay, boys ‘n’ girls…are you ready for something more than a little scary to head into the weekend? Click here to see this action figure in full.

Aiiiiii!

Welcome to the world of collectible high-detail Japanese bishoujo figure sculptures. Hand painted and not cheap. This one will set you back ¥9,333, or about $110. Have a look around; they have a lot on offer.

Ha! Ha! I’m pretty sure just clicking that link put you on Interpol’s special perv list. Bishoujo is Japanese for jail bait.

Though this girl has clearly hit puberty. Or been hit by it. Really hard. Oh, did I mention the costume comes off?

Have a good weekend, my special pervs!

I was expecting tentacles. But I guess those ears are weird enough.

It’s the tiny head perched atop Mount Glands that got me.

I can’t look at Anime characters anymore without seeing Michael Jackson’s final plastic surgery-ed face. I’m just going to pass on clicking that thar link, also.

Well, the first link is local to the blog, so you won’t leave a trail, anyhow.

So do boys/men buy these to jerk off with? Who would want this?

There are quite serious collectors. Adults, I assume. If you hit the second link, it’s a figure review site. Follow the links from there and…well, and you can learn probably more than you wanted to know.

Joking aside, I doubt you’ll get on a list for your trouble. As pervs on the internet go, these little figures are Ivory-soap mild.

A massive-mammaried microcephalic. With elf ears.

Well, OK, and I’m not either condemning or endorsing either–but how different is this particular doll from Barbie? Apart from the fact that it seems this one may not be given to little girls to play with as a role model?

She wasn’t lying about Hell-Barbie’s costume, I clicked on the link. Now I’ve done it.

Well. I hadn’t thought puberty had given me a miss, but I’m not seeing any flappy ears. (Good thing, too; it’s -20 this week.)

Huh. So she’s referred to as a “seasoned warrior,” but all I want to know is how the hell is she supposed to accomplish anything with that butt floss, much less swing a sword without her boobs severely limiting her slashing technique.

Yes. I am way over-thinking this.

“how different is this particular doll from Barbie”

Well… while Barbie’s measurements are insane, her boobs aren’t bigger than her head. Also, I’m guessing that this is a figure that gets put on a shelf, whereas a Barbie is more fully articulated.

In other words, playing with a Barbie isn’t nearly as disturbing as playing with balloon-tits here.

Perverts obviously feel a need to collect “limited edition collectors’s” crap just as much as the next person. It’s easier to understand the perversion than it is to understand the desire to spend one’s money on/fill one’s abode with overpriced, schlocky crap.

BTW, aside from less boobage, she’s gonna need a lot more arm muscle to do anything useful with that broadsword for more than about 30 seconds. Ever heft one of those babies? They weigh a ton.

Here’s something to clean off the perviness: http://www.wissensdrang.com/dstabb.htm

It’s an old catalogue of very old churches in Devon. It’s almost a 100 years old so the photos are in B&W and small but still it’s fascinating. I’m sure since the book was written much has changed. Too bad. I had to laugh how they had to bury some of the fonts so the puritans wouldn’t destroy the Norman carvings on them.

That’s lovely stuff, Redd.

Our local church, the faces were knocked off all the stone angels.

Most of those churches — probably all — have survived intact the last 100 years. Villages here go to great lengths to raise money to keep the fabric of their local churches in good repair. They’re very proud of them.

Sometimes, though, the area surrounding has grown modern and horrible. There’s a lovely old Norman church outside a biggish city nearby; I always feel sorry for it, surrounded by so much ugly.

Oh, and in another local town there’s a big Victorian pile of a church that’s all boarded up and overgrown. Very Adams Family. I think if I heard organ music came out of it some dark night, I’d piss myself.

Thousands of Japanese dudes just signed up for organ music lessons & bought plane tickets.

I find this rather repulsive, actually, but to each his own. I doubt that I am their target market.

The churches, though…I saw a lot of glorious churches when I was across the pond in July, and would have seen more if I hadn’t had to go home!

That sword? That’s just a conversation starter, Feynmangroupie. This is her not-so-slashing technique.

You guys ought to see the stores where they sell these things. Spend any time in Japan and you’ll run across one.

This is fairly typical.

And it says something – don’t know what – about the Japanese psyche. But remember, these are the people who gave us Hello Kitty and the Bataan Death March. Don’t fool yourself into thinking everybody around the world is the same as we are under the skin. The Japanese are very different from us – and I like them. I just don’t make the mistake that they’re just like everybody in my neighborhood at home.

On the other hand, if there is a universal constant, it must be Shakespeare. Just like the Klingons in Star Trek VI, the Japanese are convinced that the Bard of Avon was one of them – how else could he so perfectly capture their collective id?

I’ve always said that Star Trek never featured an alien that was as different from an American as a typical Chinese person is.

The syntax of that sentence is not very good, but I trust you get the point.

That would sound better in the original Klingon, Lady Stoat.

Star Trek aliens: all humanoid, with a few rare exceptions. Mostly because of expense.

Would’ve liked to see a motorized wheeled box of high-pressure, low temp hydrogen for some gas giant-homed aliens, but oh well…

Clinically speaking, she’s a bit too well developed for jailbait don’t you think?

Here’s my comment: the sword is non-functional. Look at the grip. It’s too narrow, and there is no pommel. There’s a ball perched on the end of the grip, but it serves no purpose. On a real broadsword, the end of the grip flares out to keep the sword from sliding out of the hand.

(After checking some images of real swords, maybe the grip is large enough, though borderline for a broadsword that heavy – but the pommel is definitely bogus.)

Well, I like her. Sorta.

“COSTUME . . . OFF!!!”

Oh, and she does have a right ear. Look at the pics on the blog showing her right side. The hair covers most of it, but there is a second ear.


Comment from Redd
Time: November 27, 2012, 3:31 pm

Is it floppy? Because that right ear is so big, I can’t imagine a left one not sticking out of the hair.

I can’t remember where I first saw it, but there’s a demotivator poster floating around somewhere with a caption like, “Japan: Proudly supplying the world with batshit craziness since 1952.”

It’s really true. I’m something of a anime fan myself, though not a “real” anime fan since I actually watch the stuff dubbed into English. At their best some of these shows address philosophical and existential questions with an intelligence that would make an average TV viewer bleed from the ears.

At their worst, they make me wish Godzilla would stomp around some more.

If you’ve ever seen references to “fan service,” that’s kind of the PG-13 equivalent… gratuitous upskirt/panty shots, stuff like that.

No, it was so Captain Kirk could make love to them.
