Kotobukiya's Roll figure isn't slated to go on sale until December but that isn't stopping the manufacturer from showing off the model's packaging.As you can see, it's cute. Maybe a little too cute.
The box design features some new art of Roll in both her classic and Mega Man 8 attire, which reflects the model's big selling point: interchangeable parts. The figure sports the ability have Roll in her usual outfit or her Mega Man 8 outfit simply by switching around a few parts. The figure also comes with three facial express and three different hand gestures. She'll set you back 3,150 Yen (roughly $36.74 US).
Word to the wise: you may want to hold off on importing. Kotobukiya recently announced plans to distribute the models outside of Japan, hence saving you from those potentially nasty shipping and handling fees.

Looks like something seen on an H book.

ReplyDeletewho couldn´t love her?
lots of junior pedophiles follow this blog, i see
ReplyDeleteHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
ReplyDeleteDie all lolicon!
ReplyDeleteshe is over 19 years old if we take it by game o3o tho in appearance she is like what 10? 12? She is also a robot not a real life human >_>"
ReplyDelete@Khorosho: Man what the hell are you talking about? is it pedophile-related to say she is cute?
ReplyDelete@Amir: She already has breasts, just look at the Megaman 8 custume =P
ReplyDeleteAnd it's not even the only drawing they did that.
@Anonymous #5:
ReplyDeleteExactly. Also, robots are usually considered ageless anyway, if I'm not mistaken.
... O_O Ffffffffff...that is one of the cutest, the most adorable, renditions of DRN-002...I have ever, ever seen!! Oh my gawd!! I may have found a new desktop wallpaper...
ReplyDeleteLol, you can't say Roll's cute around here?
ReplyDeleteThe people saying it looks like something out of an H book are the ones who are so much into hentai, they see it everywhere. What design would NOT have looked like hentai?
Roll's always been adorable. I pre-ordered these figures weeks ago..
Awesome, lolicon FTW.
ReplyDeleteDon't be so quick to be defensive there, kotipeltox. I'm pretty sure Khorosho was specifically talking to people like the first two anons.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have to facepalm at people saying that she has "breasts". Those tiny lumps would signify the very beginning of puberty (which can happen as early as 8 years old, though typically happens around the age of 10), and aren't even breasts yet. Trying to use that as an excuse to think of her as anything more than a child is just a way of trying to downplay pedophiliac tendencies.
It also doesn't matter that she's a robot. While I could go into the fact that she does still have the fixed, non-maturing mental programming of a child, I think it's enough to say that someone just fantasizing about a child is enough to be kind of creepy. She resembles, and has always been meant to resemble, a young human child. If someone gets off to that, the idea of a child, then I would still say that's considered pedophilia.
That being said, there's nothing wrong with saying Roll is cute. She IS downright adorable. I don't know how someone can't discern that Khorosho was obviously referring to the comments made by the anons. Unless, kotipeltox, you don't have a problem with the disturbing things the anons have been saying?
@Clown Prince of Crime: The only problem i have is Khorosho didn´t "aim" very well his statement, so anybody could think: "Hey (a la Robert De Niro), are you talking to me?".
ReplyDeletePD: "That roll has breasts"...WTF...that´s really wrong
@Clown Prince of Crime
ReplyDeleteIt is a fictional character moron,
fantasizing about fictional characters is different than fantasizing with real childs. I really dont see the "pedophiliac tendencies"
No need for name calling there, Lolman.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it doesn't matter that it's a fictional character. The intent/desire is still there. Just because the child in question isn't real doesn't make it any less creepy that a person would still find something that very obviously resembles a child as something sexual. The idea is in their head. Even if the child isn't a real child, they are still lusting after what resembles a child, which means that the image of a child is sexually arousing to them.
If you honestly can't see the very notion in and of itself as being wrong, then I'm afraid that you are very naive.
@Clown Prince of Crime:
ReplyDeleteSorry, but feeling desire for something fictional that resembles a child is not the same as feeling desire for a real child, anime style characters have different characteristics that are attractive to certain people.
The sole act of desire isn't wrong.
I would give you a more elaborate asnswer but this blog has comment moderation, so if you want to continue the debate somewhere else just tell me.
