Chet Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Did anyone pick this up? HLJ: http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78174 REview: http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/tanoue/freedom...?Code=BAN950847 The Bandai tachikoma chogokin. From the review, it seems to be mainly die-cast, though a bit small. Electronic functions are so-so too. Approx 13000 yen. Still, strangely tempted by this... looks like a fun, if expensive, desktop item. Will prob irritate the hell out of your co-workers! Wow. So is the software for the R/C Tachikoma in English? Quote
the_foul_fowl Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 The Alter one... this one yeah? http://www.tmpanime.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=1831 I think it's got the best motoko head sculpt out of everything else that's been released. If only the upcoming RAH was based on this figure... S/w for Tachikoma, not sure but prob in Japanese? Quote

Sam Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 yeh that one fowl foul, I too wish the RAH was based on this, but i do understand why its not, as while its a beautiful face sculpt, it doesn't seem to match up with the look in SAC so much... hey is there a linky for buyin those figures? I saw em at a previous shows pictures, but no idea who was making em, or how much for at the time, now i know, but hey, they are damn fine! would love to get the whole crew! Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 I was thinking the same thing. I'd also like to know if those are prepainted, I suck at modeling. Quote
Tober Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 The Yamato VMF Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. Katsuragi Motoko is up for pre-order at F2F: http://www.fantofan.jp/monthly-attractions.htm Click on pic to see bigger pic. Pre-order discount ends on the 18th of April.

ShadowerV2 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 HLJ has early bird listings of 1/6 GITS figures by Aoshima. http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Dis=2&Mac...mp;SeriesID=599 Anyone know anything about them? Quote
Impreszive Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Got to be honest. I found myself looking more at the Valk 1/60 reissue. Motoko looks decent enough. Quote
GogDog Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I asked Josh from CollectionDX if he has heard anything about these, and he said he's pretty sure that they are rebranded Hot Toys 1/6 figures. I haven't seen pics of those either. Quote
ShadowerV2 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Rebranded Hot Toys figs? When did Hot Toys make any GITS figs? Quote
GogDog Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) I assumed they are not out yet? Josh said Aoshima has been rebranding stuff lately. That's all he said. I searched a bunch earlier today and found nothing. Edited April 18, 2008 by GogDog Quote
Scream Man Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 that Major figure is pretty cool. id love a line of 6 or 7 inch GITS: SAC figures. id actually prefer the najor in ehr grey bodysuit, and then the rest of the team int heir normal clothes. Quote
GogDog Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Takara's VMF Motoko is up for early bird on HLJ. Link Edited April 21, 2008 by GogDog Quote
ShadowerV2 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Looks like the Aoshima's GITS figs ain't happening. Got an email from HLJ saying they were "phantoms". Quote

ShadowerV2 Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Action figure no. But more of a non poseable Major pilot figure. Quote
GogDog Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Does the Megahouse version come with the Major action figure? Here's a gallery. Quote
EXO Posted June 9, 2008 Author Posted June 9, 2008 I've been holding of that one in favor of waiting for the Good Smilie Die-Cast version. Quote
GogDog Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I've been holding of that one in favor of waiting for the Good Smilie Die-Cast version. Yeah. I ADORE this Mega House version, but the Major that come with the GS version is wonderful. Quote

Dante74 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Don't get the Mega Hose version. I got one about a year ago and it's a major dissapointment. The sculpt is ok and the metallic paint look nice, but what good is that when it can't even stand up straight? The joints are so loose that it can't even remain standing. Quote

All it takes is some nail polish to the ball joints, and its perfect. For $40, you can't beat it. I have one, one of my favorite toys, and have another on the way. Just look at my gallery, thats right out of the box, mine stands fine. Edited June 10, 2008 by GogDog Quote

Thank you very much for the trick GogDog. ^^ I have ordered two of them for 40$ too. Two because Tachikoma are sociable between them... it would be sad alone ! I think they are shipping now... Quote
