Silent Screamers: Maria from Metropolis

Silent Screamers: Maria from Metropolis It's great to see someone making an action figure for an old classic silent movie like "Metropolis". My only problem with this action figure is they gave Maria the robot giant boobs. Don't get me wrong, I'm a guy who can apprieciate a nice set of big boobs on a woman, but in this case it takes away from the authenticity of the figure. The original movie robot was not so well endowed. It was also disturbing to me since I bought one of these figures as a christmas present for a friends daughter. She is facinated with modern Sci Fi robots like Cameron of "Sara Conner Chronicles". I wanted to give her an apprieciation for film history and thought this would be a good way, but I don't think the big gazongas really sends the right message to a young gal. Really ladies, take it from a guy who apprieciates the female form, big jugs are nice, but they are in no way the most important feature.

Although I am new at buying product online, neglect reading the specifics on the items, and tend to jump on the first one I can find. Overall I am pleased with this product, it has a few scratches, and I like product originally in its manufacture package, this was not, but the price was fine. As always, I passed up my chance when I seen it long ago in a store. Prices fluctuate at different stores and times. If you think you want something when you see it, pry the wallet open, you may never find it again, or pay a higher premium !

As a figure its style is OK, but this looks nothing like the robot from the 1927 silent film Metropolis. That robot is an icon of Art Deco cinema design. This figure, with it's wide-open thighs, looks like some sort of Manga sexbot. That's OK if that's what you are looking for, but if you want the style of the classic silent film, you won't find it here. There was a Masudaya version faithful to the film, but it was made in the 80s, is somewhat rare, and rather expensive.
