Pretty nifty Zola. And they didn't make the mistake of giving him a 3D "face"!

Mind you, if I had one of those, first thing I would do is find a way to remove that face, and replace it with an appropriate Kirby drawing!

Now all one needs is 5-6 containers of yellow and white Play-Doh, and you can make Doughboy!

For those who still can't get enough of TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN's Yoko Littner...

Yamato's Neuromancer action figure line will becoming out with a pricey new version of her.

At first glance, it looked like the problematical Kaiyodo Fraulein Revoltech one, except this version is 8" tall.

The Mini-Mates face looks closer to the mark than the other version.
Very cool!

  Dave, Unfortunately no without doing some damage to the figure. It feels like the faceplate can come off but I'm afraid to take the chance to remove it. Maybe get a spare torso piece and try it.
