"1.5 meter tall and 35 kilogram (Yanks, get metric!)"

We tried in the 70s and all of the "We've been doin' this up 'til now so it's as guood as we need" follks decided against it.

And now we're the only first-world country that doesn't use it. *sigh*

It looks like the Japanese now breed action figure sized women.

Yeah, we go way back with the metric system. That was one of I think Thomas Jefferson's favorite objectives, to go national on the metric system.

No, I'm not kidding.

Oh my god, that is so geeky and a complete waste of money.

If only I could afford it, I wouldn't hesitate one second.

Actually, the Americans are officially on the metric system. The public just doesn't use it. Their loss, why do things the difficult way?

Hey ThatGuyOverThere, don't put japanese girls in your pants. Sausages are a rare treat over there in Japan.

35 kg ~~ 77 pounds.

Get us out of Iraq, and then let's go metric!

If the model is 1.5m, that means the girl is only slightly taller than 1.5m, right? That puts her below 5 feet tall.

They sure make their cute women small over yonder in japan. Why, I could pick her up and stick her in my pocket (which I no doubt would attempt to do if I ever actually met her.) Or if not my pocket, maybe just plain in my pants.. I dunno.

Only 14 points of articulation?

The level 4 kits have over 30. Weak. :)

It's a shame I'm not included in the demograph, or otherwise I'd so import one of those.

Otaku in their 50s buy oversized (and overpriced) HDTV stuff instead.
