Motoko Kusanagi RAH

Medicom got her bust right, then why not her butt?

maybe there not T&A people but just T people

Yeah we need some booty for sure. In the anime she's pretty shaply and in the manga she's downright scandalous!

100% agreed! We are talking about hot Motoko not the underage Rei or Asuka

I just hope they never make a Misato Katsuragi figure with no butt. That would be blasphemy.

I think you guys aren't remembering the anime too well; Adult Swim has been re-running GITS:SAC for the past few weeks and I have been watching it for the 4th or 5th time and the Major isn't that large in back...

 

[lerath666]

it would appear you are correct

 

[plasmid303]

He's right, but the RAH Motoko should still have more booty, for OUR sake, and her's, I guess.

And this is anime we're talking about, proportions change in every episode, nay, every scene!

 

[jkno]

Unfortunately RAH Motoko seems to have NO booty at all...

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Lonnie is right. The S.A.C. Motoko IS thin. Just an other reason why Medicom should have gone with the original Motoko from GitS - check out the opening scene of that movie! But the real reason why I prefer her is her face. It's much more distinguished and recognizable, there's a certain style to it, the eyes, ... . Where as the S.A.C Motoko can be easily mistaken for some other Anime Heroine.

i never really liked the GiTS move, and from what I've heard, odly, shirow did not either, he felt, as do some fans, it was too different from the Manga, and the series is more true to his vison.

granted, i think he likes appleseed more overall though.

I like the GitS manga, but there's something that could be said for how Oshii took the basic premise of the GitS manga and injected into it mood and spiritual ambiance. Of course, the manga and the film adaptation are two incredibly different beasts, but I always felt the film was much more cerebral and sophisticated, and the manga, while not any less so, suffered from a lot of what kills anime for me. It's hard to verbalize, but I find that a lot of anime and manga (even more prevalent today than 20 years ago) is too anime-ish, if you get my meaning. GitS Sac is good, but the "filler" episodes and secondary story arcs are often convoluted and honestly, I ++++ing hate those annoying, obnoxious Tachikomas (once again it touches upon the cutesy "anime-ness" I was speaking of earlier).

The original GitS is a masterpiece of anime art and pop culture. It's too bad it's follow up, Innocence, sucked.

The RAH Motoko is great, but it's not my favorite version of the character.

I watched the series first before anything, and that is the version I seem to like best... probably because it was my first introduction to the Major. Then I read the manga and really liked that as well, but found it oddly more humorous than the TV show of course. Finally got around to watching the first movie; I loved the movie, but wasn't particularly thrilled with her design and look in it. The Solid State Society movie is basically GITS:SAC version and that is what this RAH is actually based on, but I like her design just as well as in the series. The only thing I haven't seen is the second movie...

 

[galactiboy]

I was supremely bored by the second movie... although I really loved the first one (one of the first Anime I ever watched). I like the series, although there are a few snoozer episodes... one the whole I really enjoyed them.

Here's another thought for everyone looking at the high price... people have mentioned the falling dollar but has anyone actually looked at the difference that makes? In June 2007, the exchange rate was .008 dollars to Yen; today, it is .0098 dollars to Yen. Doesn't sound like much right? On an average Medicom figure of 17,000 Yen, that is a difference of $30.60 price increase in only 9 months, and doesn't even account for all the other factors that actually make the cost of the figure higher in Japan to begin with.

 

[galactiboy]

Man is the dollar ever tanking

aye, soon, we will all be illegaly entering canada, and standing around outside hardware stores.....

Hi All,
This is the Triad S1 body and Major K outfit with the Kusangi head from one of the GITS dolls in the Camoflage Uniform. Needed a little adaption for the head to work right on the neck, but all in all, it worked very nice.

 

[lerath666]

WOW! That actualy Looks REALLY good.

 

[jkno]

That's a great custom!
