Just as the Major should be, lol&#8230; Meanwhile, manufactured by Art Storm, and released in May 2007, this excellent approx-1\/10-scale Soft Vinyl version of the blue Tachikoma &#8212; also from the same <em>Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex<\/em> series &#8212; depicts the bubbly Artificially Intelligent spider-like mini-tank in a joint-poseable bright blue armor. Just as slick as its animated counterpart!<\/p>\n<p>For this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toybox\/anime\/anime-figure-photos\">Canon<\/a> photoshoot, I saved 117 shots, then narrowed it down to these 92 shots. While I used Photoshop to clean up an annoying dust particle which reappeared in Motoko&#8217;s hair for many of the shots, no color or lighting adjustments were made. Now, without further delay, enjoy the photoshoot!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>P.S. Internet Explorer has now officially pissed me off. If <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/en-US\/firefox\/\">Firefox<\/a> can handle 90-100 images (4-10 MB total) per page without breaking, then why can&#8217;t IE? For instance, (1) both IE6 and IE7 erratically interprets pure black (#000000) in these images as transparent pixels, which results in white dots popping up through these holes (even if I change the [img] background color to black!), and (2) when using [div] tags, IE also fails to display the [div] content as the total number of images approaches 100. Ridiculous. So from this point onward, I can no longer promise my support of IE. Sorry.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"javascript:location.href='http:\/\/www.dannychoo.com\/v4\/addlink.php?language=eng&#038;method=marklet&#038;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&#038;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)\" title=\"Otakurl it!\" >Otakurl it! >><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toybox\/anime\/anime-figure-list\/\">My Anime Figure List >><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/4000-main-ghostshell.php\">Click for Full Photoshoot (92) >><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photos 001-092 by xJAYMANx | Click for all 92 Konnichiwa!
