With the new, very faithful anime adaptation of <\/a>Ghost in the Shell<\/a> underway, Bandai Spirits has announced toys of the Fuchikoma and the Major.<\/p>\n

Specifically, we have a Robot Damashii Fuchikoma and a S.H.Figuarts rendition of the Major.<\/p>\n

Bandai Spirits has already handled the prior Tachikoma designs<\/a>, to great effect and these new toys look absolutely spot on.<\/p>\n

However, the big thing for me is that this is the first time we’ve had actual toys of the manga renditions of both the Fuchikoma and the Major.<\/p>\n

Back when the manga was originally released<\/a>, the only thing fans could buy were extremely expensive and delicate garage kits of things like a Fuchikoma.<\/p>\n

So to see an actual Robot Damashii toy looking so accurate to the manga fills my aging heart with genuine joy.<\/p>\n

Pricing and release date are currently unknown, but both these toy lines are known for more reasonable pricing, as well as legendary articulation and detailing.<\/p>\n

The big question is whether the Major will be able to fit inside the Fuchikoma, but based on the relative size of these toys, it looks feasible. In any case, I have both my fingers and toes crossed that the Major will indeed be able to pilot this Fuchikoma toy.<\/p>\n

One niggling worry is that the released photo (shown above) has the Fuchikoma sitting on a small stand. So that’s something I will be keeping an eye on once more details on these are released.<\/p>\n

The Ghost in the Shell is available to watch via Amazon Prime Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Follow me on X<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> , and YouTube<\/a>. I also manage Mecha Damashii<\/a> and am currently writing a regular column in Japanese about mecha games for Game*Spark<\/a>.<\/p>\n
