\nPhoto 035 by xJAYMANx | Click for all 35<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n

Okay, enough with the high-school childishness, lol. Bring on the full-figured women of cyberpunk sci-fi! For this post, I introduce one of my newest and rarest pieces, the raven-haired 1\/6-scale “Motoko Kusanagi Hard Disk”<\/strong> (in resin) based on the original 1991 sci-fi manga Ghost in the Shell<\/em> by Masamune Shirow. Sculpted by Yoshimasa Nakao and released by ALPHA, Motoko stretches to a towering 13-inches tall.<\/p>\n

In addition, I welcome the return of one of my earliest pieces in May 2006, the lavender-haired 1\/8-scale “Galhound”<\/strong> (in PVC) from the 2002 poster series Galgrease<\/em><\/a>, also by Masamune Shirow. Released by Yamato, Galhound stands about 7 inches tall. One background note: While Galhound wasn’t the first figure I acquired, she was the first figure that caught my eye before I ever thought of starting a collection. You could even say she planted the idea in my head!<\/p>\n

As of this post, both figures are pretty rare on eBay or otherwise. Furthermore, it’s interesting to note Masamune’s fascination with black, silver, and purple color schemes. Not that I mind. LOL!… In this Canon<\/a> photoshoot, I saved 45 shots, then narrowed it down to 35 shots.<\/p>\n

Otakurl it!<\/a><\/p>\n
