Tachikoma Trading Figure

Despite being high-tech machinery with onboard armaments, the spidery Tachikoma of Ghost in the Shell are child-like mecha with curious munchkin voices. Therein lies the duality of the machines and the contrast of character. Japanese manufacturer Movic skews towards the munchkin factor with a collection of squat Tachikomas colored in
six standard colors and two secret colors that are randomly packaged in blind boxes. Each Tachikoma measures 7cm tall and roughly 6cm in diameter. Preorders are welcome today to ship in Oct. 2006.
