Major Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is set to receive a rather unusually posed figure by Kaitendo, due July 2011.
For those wondering, the pose depicted appears to be the major striding forward whilst donning or removing her jacket, quite an unusual (if not inexplicable) choice of pose.

This is definitely worth buying, I love the pose & design of the figure in general, among other things...
I prefer Deunan Knute of Appleseed figure.
Haters gonna hate
That was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw these images, lol.
Yeah, I always hang my glasses on my boob.
i wondered what the fuck that was at first
She does that sometimes. Can't recall whether it's in the manga or the anime, though. They're so different...
An actual hot AND well-written female character.
Agreed.
I'd really want this one to be my first figure, but the face is a bit lackluster. I think its because her eyes aren't as striking because they don't have the glossy tone and they're a bit too open.
Yeah, totally agree with you. Motoko Kusanagi is one of my favourite characters of all-time and there seems to be a recent boom of figures made of her (3 in the past couple of months). However, none of them get her face quite right, IMHO. I'd prefer her to have a more fierce look, though to be honest her expression here kind of suits the pose.
A fiercer look would be nice. I just love the fact that she's so hot but she's not trying to be anyone's eye candy. She's not trying too hard, she doesn't have any stereotypical cutesy "look at me" personality. She's just well-written and damn amazing at her job.
Motoko is hot and is an extremely awesome character.
DO WANT THIS FIGURE.
I love unusual poses in figures
FUCKING WANT!
Anybody want to put Ironing Man (Leonardo) next to her?
very nice, they've captured the "Haters gonna hate"-stride very well there.
Oh wow, just when I started rewatching SAC... now I'm really tempted to pre-order.
I'm also pleasantly surprised by the figure's quality. Lots of details and great paint job. I particularly like the face. It looked kinda off in the article thumbnail, but seeing it this close I have to admit it's done amazingly well.
Just saying from a Shirow fan,...
Her Hair is a tad too long.
Ya gotta remember that Motoko Kusinagi isn't some bimbo that struts around trying to look good for otaku & pervs.
She's a Police Officer & a fully cybernetic "Combat" Professional Soldier.
At first glance, what sets the figure OFF as wrong, is her pants. If you go back to the episodes where she wears these particular pants.
You will notice that she wears them lower on her hips.
AND - they don't have baggy wrinkles,... They're cut more like Victoria Secret Stretch Jeans.
Also they got her eyes wrong, specifically the colour of her eyes - they're not brown/amber. Clue; Opening segment of SAC 1st Season...
They're more like a saphire tinged with lavender. They're supposed to be exotic, she is a woman after all.
Lastly,... her tits are also a little smaller than seen in the series.
imho
^_^
I got the same thought exactly on the pose looking too flashy for Kusanagi Motoko but you can even go even details of her pants! true fan, i salute! XD
would prefer her in action, like removing her jacket "Tom Hank style" in the Saito episode :D
The thing with the Major, is that she can swap her parts around if she ever feels like it...

What. If you are speaking anime-wise, her hair here is actually shorter than some of her shots in the anime. Also the color of her eyes is exactly like that in the comic version.
One word: Akward. The pose works... on one angle, and the sunglasses there seriously look ridiculous.
There's no angle that doesn't look weird. It's like it has no "flow" or line of action.
I could see the line of action immediately. =/ I suggest you go back to art school.
hot hot :D
How does she so perfectly surf? <3
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want two for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sculpt is really unique that's for sure.
The only Motoko figure worth owning is the Vice/Alter one. Pity everyone wants extortionate prices for it.
I've got the 1/7 scale Motoko Kusanagi SAC 2nd GIG figure so I'm good.
It needs to be redone. It doesn't look right.
I'll second that motion, with obscene hand gestures...
And surprisingly short legs.
wow que calidad del diseño de este muñeca y si me gustaria tnerla para mi colecion
Are all the girls in GitS as ugly as she is ? I'm gonna see nightmares ... So ugly her face was.
Eugh, what's the matter with her face? :/
meh its ugly =/
The only criticism I have is that the ass needs to be just a bit bigger. Still, I want this figure so bad I could actually say Im otaku about it. After I get it though I'll be back to normal.
Ah Motoko... how I so want a live action GITS. And if I had the cash I would import you too.
