wow ... I hadnt even heard any rumors that anyone had ever done any dolls based on the Chobits story
and looking at the release date, Dolpa 9, for that one I can see why ... Volks did only 200 back in 2003
I can also see why when I look at the pics of the doll
... they did not do a very good job
.... I would not have bought one
it looks like they grabbed an "off-the-shelf" face and figured that putting the right type hair and ears on it would make it "Chii" ............ it doesnt ..... the Tyrol Bakery outfit isnt right, they would have been better off putting her in one of the outfits that Ms Hibya gave her ........ the face isnt right, and the eyes are WAY wrong
if anyone is curious ... this is what I was referring to as a "Persocom" ... she still has a ways to go yet, for example the hands are a bit too big and her fingers dont move yet .......... but they are getting there the HRP-4C is 158cm (5' 2.2"), 43 kilos (94.6 lbs) ... and very kawaii
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HRP-4Chttp://video.search.yahoo.com/search/vi ... bot+hrp+4cor ... if you prefer the one made by a subsidiary of Sanrio ... (yes the "Hello Kitty" company) .... there is the Actroid-F (140cm) ...
though it doesnt do as much as the HRP-4Chttp://www.kokoro-dreams.co.jp/english/ ... index.html
