DARKWIND Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 It just relased, any Japan or Hong Kong members pick one up yet??? Quote
wolfx Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Pictures? There are many Tachikoma products being released recently and i'm not sure which one you're talking about. In any case no i haven't got any Tachikoma figures though I want one and not sure which one is best. Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Pictures? There are many Tachikoma products being released recently and i'm not sure which one you're talking about. In any case no i haven't got any Tachikoma figures though I want one and not sure which one is best. The Solid state society visual book has a few pics with the Major action figure. I was going to pass on this but after seeing the tachikoma a the major(pretty good action figure btw) I may have to pic one up. Quote
holytoledo69 Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 I think its the Megahouse one he's talking about. Rumorville is saying that there's no diecast content whatsover in this figure (they said it did) but the plus side is that motoko is actually included (articulated!!) and fits inside the tachikoma. Now, I also heard a company called "good smile" is putting out a perfect piece tachikoma also. With different pics floating around the net, I dont know which one is which.. Anyone have pics? Quote
DARKWIND Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 This one. . . I've got one on the way, but I wanted to know if anyone may have one for a pre-review. . . Quote
GDomino Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) This one. . . I've got one on the way, but I wanted to know if anyone may have one for a pre-review. . . Hate to burst your bubble but the pic you posted is the much more expensive diecast version by Good Smile Company, slated to come out some time this year. See below: I believe the one that just came out is the MegaHouse ABS/PVC version that has a molded Major Kusanagi figure, not an articulated one. FYI, Fewture is supposed to release a diecast version also, under their EX Gohkin line coming out in May, but won't be as detailed as the Good Smile Company version and no figure included.

DARKWIND Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 Hence, the reason I was asking if anyone had one yet. . . . I wanted to be sure of what I was getting. Quote
GDomino Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Another pic of the Good Smile Company version: Quote
danth Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Dude, that thing is unbelievable! Way too many cool, expensive as hell toys coming this year. The Legioss/Tread, CM Corps Patlabors and Votoms, Spec Layzner...and now this. And that's not even including Macross stuff! Quote
holytoledo69 Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Here's a description of the Mega House Tachikoma. No mention of Diecast. I think there was alot of confusion between this one and the "Good Smile" Version. Still, Im gonna get it... Here's a brilliant offering from Mega House that no Tachikoma fan should be without! True to its "Perfect Piece" title, this Tachikoma figure is perfect in every way, with accurate sculpt and meticulous detail, tons of cool playable features, and a carefully-painted glossy blue-and-silver finish. Made of high quality ABS, POM, and PVC materials, Tachikoma is highly articulated with ball-jointed limbs that allow for a wide range of movements, articulated fingers to hold the included accessories, functional wheels, and a front camera eye that can turn in all directions. The abdomen hatches can be opened to reveal a highly-detailed cockpit where you can insert the included Motoko Kusanagi figure! The 50mm grenade attachment is removable and can be replaced with a ball-jointed gatling gun, and pressing the button on the right side of Tachikoma's front camera eye will pop out a small tray for inserting an oil bottle (included) to "recharge" it. Other included accessories are a wrench, book, and an oil tear to recreate those comical scenes as seen in the "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex" anime series! Truly a "Perfect Piece"! So yeah, It might include a Motoko figure but that might be a solid piece. Anyone with a review, yet? Quote
cube Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 yea, these things confuse the hell out of me. someone in the now needs to make a rundown explaining which ones which, list the price, size, diecast....all that stuff. I want to eventually pick up one tachi, but have no idea which one fits my needs. Quote
bandit29 Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) Here are some GITS Tachikoma sets at BBTS. Scrolll down a bit. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search....st+in+the+shell Edited March 10, 2007 by dejr8bud Quote
holytoledo69 Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) I dont know about those.. But I want want of these. A walking and talking tachikoma!!! a better one. Edited March 11, 2007 by holytoledo69 Quote
Guppy Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 OMG.. that talking walking tachi is unbelievable! Shudder to think how much it would be.. Quote
Mowe Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Ok, here is my limited knowledge and summary of the various new Tachikoma I'd gathered from various site : Original Tachikoma 1. Megahouse’s 1/20 “Perfect Piece†…………..(Feb 2007/ 9,800yen/ 13cm): ABS, fixed posed Motoko, movable. 2. GoodSmile Company’s 1/20……………………..(May 2007/ 17,800yen/ 15cm): Diecast, posable Motoko, movable. 3. Fewture’s Non scale “Soft Vinyl versionâ€â€¦ (Dec 2006/ 6,470 yen/ 20cm): Soft Vinyl, no Motoko, limited movement but has ball joints at limbs, (Dec 2006 Blue Version, Summer 2007 Yellow Version) 4. Waves’ 1/24 “WHAM†line …………………………(Mar 2007/ 3,200 yen/ 9.5cm): completed and painted ABS kit with a number of colour schemes and GITS characters (March normal blue with Motoko; April dark blue with Batou, May yellow with Togusa, and June silver with Aramaki), 9.5cm in height. Second Gig Tachikoma 5. Fewture’s Non-Scale “EX Gokin versionâ€â€¦..(Sum 2007/14,800Yen/15cm): Diecast, Motoko TBC, has light, movable 6. Waves’ 1/24 Tachikoma Kits……………………..(Mar 2007 2,200 – 3,200yen): these are non-assembled injection kit with various colour (e.g. normal blue with Motoko, optical camo clear with clear otoko, Uchikoma with Batou) For diecast fan, I think the best combination would be: For Original Tachi (get GoodSmile Company’s 1/20 diecsat), For Seconf Gig Tachi (get Fewture’s Non-Scale “EX Gokin version). They are both die-cast and very posable. If you are a Tachi Team fan and like your Tachi big, get Fewture’s Non scale “Soft Vinyl version†with hope that they will have the other 2 colour released to complete the Tachi team as seen in the final battle in the original series. If you are a Tachi Team fan but has limited budget, get Waves’ 1/24 “WHAM†line which will gives all TV versions of Tachi as seen in the final battle in the original series. Wow, tough choice!!!! 1. Megahouse’s 1/20 “Perfect Piece†ABS [attachmentid=41077][attachmentid=41078] 2. GoodSmile Company’s 1/20 Diecast [attachmentid=41079][attachmentid=41080] 3. Fewture’s Non scale “Soft Vinyl version†[attachmentid=41081][attachmentid=41082][attachmentid=41083] 4. Waves’ 1/24 “WHAM†line ABS [attachmentid=41084][attachmentid=41085] 5. Fewture’s Non-Scale “EX Gokin version†Diecast [attachmentid=41086][attachmentid=41087] 6. Waves’ 1/24 Tachikoma Injection Plastic Kits [attachmentid=41088][attachmentid=41089][attachmentid=41090][attachmentid=41091] Edited March 11, 2007 by Mowe Quote
GDomino Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 I'm waiting for the Good Smile version. I want the works with the 1/20 size, opening cockpit, a posable Kusanagi, and diecast to boot. Quote
eriku Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Damn, it seems like only yesterday when we were all begging for just ONE good Tachi figure. Now there are almost too many to choose from. I'll probably go for the Good Smile version. Quote
Roy's Blues Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 I'm waiting for the Good Smile version. I want the works with the 1/20 size, opening cockpit, a posable Kusanagi, and diecast to boot. Ditto. Anyone know where I can Preorder the Good Smile Company version? Quote
Mr March Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Yup, Good SMile version for me too. I want the best bang for the buck and this looks like the one to wait for. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 haha, nice. Good smile version is the one I want too! I wonder if they'll make the other tachi's though... that'd be sweet! Quote
Macross73 Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 looks like the one to get it is the Good Smile version this was a great help Quote
Mowe Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Just remember, the GoodSmile version is a diecast of the original Tachi, if you want a diecast for the Second Gig Tachi, Fweture is the only option at the moment. Who knows, Goodsmil might do a Second Gig Tachi Diecast if the original Tachi does well. looks like the one to get it is the Good Smile version this was a great help Quote
Mr March Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 That's important to point out the distinction, but I do want an original Tachikoma. I don't even own the 2nd Gig season on DVD as yet It's still GoodSmile version I'll be getting. Quote
Godzilla Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Frak, I ordered the megahouse instead of the Good Smile. Quote
kung flu Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 My Megahouse tachi is on its way. I can't find any places that accept pre orders for the Good smile version. I think the good smile version is actually 1/18 scale Quote
Sumdumgai Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I've got a megahouse one on the way, but it may take a while to arrive... To be honest, I'm just happy at being able to get a really detailed tachikoma! Quote
DARKWIND Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Just got mine this morning, will give a review later. . . Quote
holytoledo69 Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Just got mine this morning, will give a review later. . . Goody!!! I cant wait!! Will you have pics? Quote
holytoledo69 Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 My Megahouse tachi is on its way. I can't find any places that accept pre orders for the Good smile version. I think the good smile version is actually 1/18 scale I think tisinc99 has them for pre-order and its slated for a 07/07 release. I believe its for $159. Im not sure about the scale though. Quote
bandit29 Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I don't buy toys that much anymore but that good smile Tachikoma is very tempting. Maybe I'll settle for the cheap 1/24 version....sigh Quote
EXO Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 My Megahouse tachi is on its way. I can't find any places that accept pre orders for the Good smile version. I think the good smile version is actually 1/18 scale Yup. It is 1/18. the Megahouse is the 1/20 version. Quote
DARKWIND Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 Goody!!! I cant wait!! Will you have pics? I should be able to in the few days. . . Quote
Macross73 Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I think tisinc99 has them for pre-order and its slated for a 07/07 release. I believe its for $159. Im not sure about the scale though. i'd rather be patient and wait for a bit to pop up on other sites. and July is far off. i thought the Good smile was 1/20 oh well it still looks good to me. Quote
GDomino Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I think tisinc99 has them for pre-order and its slated for a 07/07 release. I believe its for $159. Im not sure about the scale though. You mean this one? http://www.tisinc99.com/gho194483.html It seems like it's the Fewture EX Gokin version they have on preorder. Also coming from tisinc99 is a dead give away since they tend to overprice their Japanese import toys. Quote
