Yamato's inaugural figure in their vmf (Variable Motion Figure) line of toys features the irrepressible Motoko Kusanagi of Ghost in the Shell fame. The Major wears a swimsuit (face it, it's a swimsuit) and a flak jacket which sort of makes the protective purpose of the flak jacket moot. In addition to her questionable choice of garb on top, Motoko wears leggings and heavy-duty boots below. The figure is set at 1/7 scale and measures 23cm or 9.05" tall which makes her as big as a Real Action Heroes toy.The "Variable Motion" in the product title refers to the many points of articulation in Motoko's framework which allows for different poses and postures that the figure may be placed in. She can crouch, bend, lunge, and stand with arms outstretched if so desired. Think of Yamato's vmf as the company's answer to Max Factory's Figma figures. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late June 2008 at JPY7800 or US$78 from NCS.
