So Japan just built 18. Seriously.

Well, OK, not quite seriously. However, there's a DBZ exhibit being constructed in Japan, and a doll of 18, built to scale, is among the things you can find there.

Can anybody confirm what museum this is?
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Whats more amazing is that the eyes follow you around once you get up close and personal with her.
You say amazing, I say creepy as hell.

Then why did you say "Seriously" in the title? You should delete this submission and remove that word since you're just baiting attention.

I dunno if I find this more 'creepy' or 'awesome'...cuz it's kinda both.

I saw that for myself in Tokyo. The exhibit they had at Fuji TV was a huge waste of money. You'd be lucky to even spend 10 minutes in there.

Yeah, that's totally not creepy... especially not the moving eyes part.

She's not that creepy. Obviously her features are kind of weird because they tried to emulate the look of the manga instead of going full realistic, but I don't find it that weird. It's pretty amazing the attention to detail.

I swear, I was like, "Watch it be one of those live sex dolls." It wasn't. Still creepy beyond believe. Tough it looks like a Barbie doll.
