Tachikoma
Yikes! It hasnt been 24 hours since my last batch of SAFS and yet this Goodsmile Alloy Tachikoma appears out of thin air ^^;
This die cast Tachikoma truly a stunning piece of work with a load of moving bits and a cockpit that opens at the back to reveal an articulated Motoko figure. I think its out this month and retails for 17,800 yen - a few more pics at Mikatan Blog. Will take more detailed pics when the weather clears up a bit.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Wow, that's really nice. Looks great on anyone's desk. I'd probably not get any work done and just play around with it all day, making that girly Tachikoma voice and saying stuff like attack mouse, attack modem or attack Wacom!! LOL
The Motoko figure that comes with it looks great from Mikatan's blog.

Such great detail, lots of moving parts, very stunning... Price is way up there. Frankly does not interest me at all.

I was wondering what that black spot was... the cursor doesn't show up when I take a screenshot so it didn't occur to me, lol.
Agreed, very suspicious >.> <.<

It comes with a Motoko inside? Well, I've been wanting a Tachikoma and a Motoko; it'd be great if I could get them together. The Motoko looks pretty decent, too. That is a really fantastic looking Tachikoma. But good gracious, it's expensive!

Anyone know how this compares to the Mega House "Perfect Piece" Tachikoma, other than the fact this is made from metal?

I saw Tachikoma figures several times... dunno if it was this one, but it was made of metal and you could plug it to USB or something.
Anyways, really nice... I'd buy it.

Nice! Too bad I wasn't able to secure a preorder for this one. I guess i'd look around my local stores. Hopefully they brought a couple of them in.

Ahhh tachikoma, i already seen plenty of sites posting this up! Its kind of expensive but I'm already imagining how cool it will look on my office desk >_>
I know material is metal but does it feel solid in your hands? Articulation wise?

It does - loads of moving parts to play around with.

Can I have it? I need at least two Tachikomas here. (Three would be better, because I could give my niece one.)

Yeah that Tachikoma is so awesome. I almost picked one up myself, but there are a few other bots I want and for that price. The spider tanks will have to wait there turn in the line of mecha I have on my want list. Still beautiful.

Last time i have seen the plastic made tachikoma and this alloy made tachikoma is just beyond my expectation! A very well made tachikoma that i wanted to have one but it's just too expensive for me too. >.<"

Is the motoko figure removable from the cockpit or is she like a permanent fixture to tahikoma-kun? Like some kind of robot..cyborg..ai...thingy.
