Tachikoma Trading Figure

«©NCSX» Despite being high-tech machinery with lethal onboard armaments, the spidery Tachikoma of Ghost in the Shell fame are child-like mecha with curious munchkin voices. On the outside, the Tachikoma are hardened steel weapons but inside, they're merely children. 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. Movic's versions of the Tachikoma sport stubby legs and rounded corners with nary a sharp edge in side. Please note that each factory case of 12 toys includes the full color set and four duplicates. The standard colors are: aqua blue, red, orange, green, yellow, and purple. The two secret colors are silver and gold. Each Tachikoma measures 7cm tall and roughly 6cm in diameter.

Pricing is set at US$50 for a complete factory sealed case of 12 toys. All preorders will ship today and new orders are welcome.
