Cuz I'd love to do this mod on a doll.

I am pretty damn sure that is a Volks head and hands stuck on this:

It's a Femisapien, which is a really cute little robot toy. Cheap enough on amazon now that you could do that. The doll head and hands would cost more than the robot.

It's not a Femisapien. I don't know if this could be done with a Femisapien. They are at least partially controlled by the head. Hmmm...but at this price I'd consider taking one apart.

Edit: She's also controlled by her hands.

I'd be willing to bet, based on the movement and the legs. that the dancing doll has Femisapien guts. This is not to say it's not kewl, but why reinvent a wheel when you can take something apart?

~grumbles they don't make Erector sets like they used to~

Hmmm, to me that looks like a challenge, I just don't have the odds and ends of parts sitting around. But there could be a puppet solution.

....if I could get my head around that, I'd have a dancing minion...... or Nijika'd be more epic than she's going to be.

o_o ...if i had about a thousand dollars laying around, I'd commission my R2D2 builder friends to do that to a 60cm Obitsu.
