# 6.8 Collaboration MANEKINEKO and Skin Inheritance

Collaboration MANEKINEKO feature special designs created with companies or brands. Eligible collaboration Common can be raised and used like regular Common. When used in Fusion for lifespan recovery, they can transfer their skin to an Uncommon or Rare MANEKINEKO.

#### Read before using Fusion

When you use an eligible collaboration Common as material for lifespan recovery, that material NFT is burned and its skin is automatically transferred to the recipient. You cannot recover lifespan without also transferring the skin.

The transferred skin replaces the recipient's current appearance, including any existing skin. You cannot undo this change or save, restore, or switch back to a previous skin. Each eligible material NFT can transfer its skin only once. A skin received this way cannot be passed on to another MANEKINEKO.

Only the skin transfers. The recipient keeps its own OG or Origin provenance, rarity, and P rank. The material's abilities and lineage do not transfer. Lifespan recovery follows the normal Fusion rules.

#### Eligible NFTs and usage limits

| Item         | Details                                                            |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Source       | A collaboration Common that supports skin inheritance              |
| Recipient    | An Uncommon or Rare that meets the normal Fusion conditions        |
| Feature used | Fusion for lifespan recovery                                       |
| Usage limit  | Once per eligible material NFT                                     |
| Material NFT | Burned when used; this cannot be undone                            |
| Skin choice  | You cannot opt out. The recipient's current appearance is replaced |

The inheritance right belongs to the material NFT and is consumed when used. Receiving a skin does not grant the recipient a new right to pass that skin on.

The recipient is not limited to receiving a skin once in its lifetime. If you use another eligible collaboration Common, that material NFT's right and the normal Fusion conditions apply. Its skin will also replace the recipient's previous skin.

#### Supported models

**GINKAN Founding Edition**

The GINKAN Founding Edition distributed directly by SyFu is a Common (P0) with a special design. You can raise and use it like a regular Common.

For example, when you use a GINKAN Founding Edition to restore a Rare's lifespan, the GINKAN Founding Edition used as material is burned. The recipient remains Rare, but its appearance changes to the GINKAN Founding Edition skin. The material's provenance, P rank, and abilities are not added to the recipient.

**How this differs from Breed with Founding Silver Piece**

With Fusion, an existing Uncommon or Rare receives **only the skin**. Its rarity, OG attribute, P rank, and other attributes do not change. By contrast, an eligible Breed using Founding Silver Piece creates a **new** GINKAN Founding Edition at Uncommon P0 or higher. For the Breed requirements and results, see [9.12 Collaboration Breed Items](/breed/collaboration-breed-items.md).

#### Before confirming Fusion

Check the collaboration Common you will use as material and the MANEKINEKO that will receive its skin. **Burning the material NFT and changing the skin cannot be undone.** The usual Fusion conditions, including the material's HP and lifespan requirements, apply.

Check the rarity shown in the NFT details or Marketplace instead of relying on appearance alone. For lifespan recovery conditions, see [MANEKINEKO NFT Lifespan, HP, and Durability](/manekineko/manekineko-nft-lifespan-hp-durability.md).
